Igo is often extremely hopeful in his player evaluations. 

I was hopeful for Corral too. Then he hit the field. I'm not saying he's a bust or a lost cause but... oh wee mayne. Early returns do not look good.

He has a tweet saying "Corral looking like he belongs. "   I mean i get the optimism but I question if we were watching the same game

Like, I get that he's been behind a terrible O-line at the end of both games, but he didn't look good with a better o-line earlier in the game either.
 

I'm hoping, like everyone else is saying, that it's just due to a lack of reps and whatnot, but I think he's just very very raw and is likely farther away than we all had hoped. I'm not sure than any increased rep load would have made an appreciable difference in his performance for this year at any rate.

That's fair.

My thing is is that I think that some of you are making premature judgments based upon Corral being caught in Rhule's sphere of mishandling the kid, but it's all good. Once he gets better opportunities to work behind better personnel and the game slows down for him, his abilities will begin to show through.  Corral simply hasn't been a priority, and it shows. But, with more time and reps, hopefully it will all come together for him.

if he is this goddamn raw A) wtf are we doing giving up assets to get him when he was in a free fall and B) if he is this goddamn raw why the fug wasnt he getting more work in TC?

A) we didn't really give up "assets" of any real value. A 3rd? Meh. It's a long term play on his underlying talent.

B) I think you answered that question in your question. Because he's that raw. It's going to be a slow process and the staff realized that no matter the amount of reps that he got in TC that he wasn't going to be ready to play this year and to instead focus on those who would? I also think that it's likely that they didn't expect him to be quite this raw and had to adjust. Also, Rhule is kinda dumb.

So every other team that drafted a qb figured out a way to get their qbs up to speed but our guy is so far behind its almost a lost cause to think we could do it for this season.  Therein lies an entirely different problem.  But yeah Rhule is kinda dumb

Yes, considering the other realities of our qb conundrum, yes.

Corral looks small and confused, but this isn't the end of his story. He could end up anywhere from a backup or to a starter.

I've been saying all along that we're taking a QB in the 1st round of the 2023 NFL draft, and I still think that is the case. Early on Corral looks like a backup at best.

I just skimmed through the last drive he had and I don't see any glaring footage of him getting injured. Did they even mention it live or did PJ just magically appear the next drive?

I saw a slight limp when he was coming off the field, but I think he got rolled up on during the endzone pressure during which Deonte Brown was nearly blocked into Row 2, seat 44.

Corral looked better than he did last week... until he went color blind and started throwing balls directly to Pats DBs.

He looked better, but last week he looked about as bad as you can look.  He has a quick release and he is mobile, but that's about all I see.  Reps and lack of comfort level aside, he's just not very accurate with the football.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      2024 College Football Thread

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
