I haven't watched the game yet (I was not staying up until 2am yesterday to watch it, but it is on the Tivo).  Corral didn't light it up.  Since he has a small number or practice reps and was playing with guys who will be working in their backup careers in another month, I am left thinking "what did we think was going to happen?"

As far as PJ, he's 27.  For a young QB, if you get to year 4 or 5 and are the bottom of the depth chart, you are going to be replaced by a rookie.  That's life in the NFL, and it applies to more than just QBs. 

Maybe somebody will give him a spin, but I doubt it.  His only chance is that they decide to cut Darnold, which is not out of the question.  I don't think anybody is going to trade for him, either, but you never know.  What I do know is if somebody does trade for him, they are going to want us to eat 80-90% of his contract, so we are paying for him whether he is on the roster, on somebody else's roster, or laying on the beach.

We pay most of Darnold's contract and Cleveland is paying most of Mayfield's. It's sort of a wash. I just don't see any team who would want to trade for Sam Darnold, even if we picked up the same amount of money Cleveland did on Baker's deal.

I agree with you.  I think we wind up paying about $3.5M extra but wound up with Mayfield.  My guess is the final depth chart is Mayfield, Darnold, and Corral, but with Rhule, who knows?

I think we entered the draft with two QBs on the roster, neither of whom would be on any other roster.  We now have four on the roster, but that does not change the status of the original two.

Howell had all day to throw. Corral literally had no pocket for 3/4 of his snaps. Like, ball is snapped, hits his hands, two DL or a DL and a LB are in his face and he's spinning out of trouble.

Oh no doubt. I think that if Corral had come in when PJ did, he'd have looked a lot better; poor bastard never had a chance. And I still think Corral has the highest ceiling of the 2. 

BUT, Howell looked good Saturday.

Washington is only carrying 3 QBs at the moment (Wentz, Heinke, Howell). I imagine Howell has gotten significantly more training camp reps than Matt Corral.

Sure he did. Give any QB time in camp and a clean pocket, and there's reason to expect some good plays. When you give a guy no practice in camp, no pass protection in-game and he's got to dodge a defensive end and a blitzing linebacker within one second of a snap, well, not even Sam Howell or Tom Brady will look good in that case.

When you consider all that Rhule has done for PJ Walker over the years, I wouldn't rule out the idea that he's intentionally sabotaging Corral to build up his case to cut him and keep Walker. Not saying it's what's happening, just saying there's unquestionably a possibility.

If that were to happen, Fits needs to let Tepper know it is time to cut Rhule. 

The scary thing is that while I don't think it is what is happening, the fact that it is a possibility is a problem.

told you so agree GIF by Bounce

Matt Rhule coddled Baker all the way through this "competition" and Sam is still steady kicking his ass. No Baker Bros, he hasn't looked better than Sam and for those of us who thought that Baker was a stupid move and wanted chaos in return?! Go Sam go! They're dumb as rocks.

Lol Baker has absolutely looked better. Don’t be all pissy because your little lion cub had a bad outing. He will be fine in the long run. Keep these good takes up though and no one is going to take you seriously….

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)

      Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.

      Young up for Player of the Week

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
