To everyone already calling Corral some booty

[TheoJay10]

The guy clearly wasn’t set up for success. Our 3rd string or worse players are clearly terrible in comparison to the competition. Corral wasn’t confident out there and looked completely lost. I wouldn’t be so quick to judge until he actually gets a shot with some NFL players on his side. This doesn’t take away from the fact that he in fact stunk up his first NFL action badly. Food for thought.

You’re not wrong, but guys have to earn their reps in this league. He didn’t do that.

It’s highly unlikely he or Howell climb that ladder.

Too many guys, too few spots.

[Smithers]

No way to gauge a players future success in his first preseason game surrounded by guys who won’t be on a gameday roster.  Sure he looked bad.  Also had a few balls dropped and had zero protection.  Give the kid a couple years

[Smithers]

Oh - and I fully expected Howell to look better early on.  He ran a more pro style offense in college, so of course the transition will be easier.  This game says nothing about career success.  Heck they might both be stars or might both be out of the league in a few years

I agree with earning reps in principle, if that was reality. 
 

Sam/PJ haven’t actually earned reps though. Sam’s contract has. PJ playing at Temple has.

Has anyone mentioned lions or beef yet? If not, here it is.

The problem is he showed nothing. It's why everyone is upset.

If he came away with the same stats, but looked like he could navigate the pocket, had decent footwork, and could drive the ball then people wouldn't be worried. However, he didn't, he looked shaky on every snap.

[bruceleeroy]

He displayed what he is - a 3rd round talent.  You can throw all the excuses you want out there.

[The Huddler]

i have zero worry

 

dude has had next to zero reps and was playing with a bunch of dudes who will all be on couches in a month

 

let him sit and learn this year while we try to win with baker

It wouldn’t surprise me if the people shitting on Corral also think Teddy has elite accuracy because he completes 70%. 

[CRA]

Corral is fine in theory.  He wasn’t suppose to look good today. He is a rookie getting 4th string reps to date behind horrible OL play.   

and the other 3rd round rookies you see play are getting more camp work.  They aren’t getting 4th string work. 

will he be fine in the long run? Carolina was named as a team you didn’t want to be drafted to for a reason as a QB.   Who knows.  Not sure anyone can state Rhule is the guy to develop a young QB like Corral and will create a good place for someone like that to thrive.  OC is known for working with established Super Bowl champs too.  Not creating them. 

Until we have less QBs ahead of Corral I don’t expect much from him.  Hope would be Rhule quickly corrects the QB mess ahead of Corral sooner rather than later. 

[Khyber53]

Considering the investments made in the guys ahead of him and Rhule's commitment to give PJ a shot at getting a job somewhere else (he's really made for the USFL), then Corral's performance today is to be expected and probably is good for him.

He's got some experience in the room around him from actual starters and his OC has played with some of the best in the game. If he's going to have to sit for a season, this is the kind of situation that pans out well for a guy like him.

Then, there's the darker side of this that plays out well for Corral's future. The HC is playing for his own career here. If Rhule doesn't pan out and has to hit the road, Corral hasn't been tampered with much and won't have a bunch of bad habits for the next coach to contend with. He's got two guys ahead of him that are on the ends of their contracts, too, and a new regime could be tempted to cut bait with them next season and give Corral a better shot.

Some booty? No, some rookie, yes.

That line was absolutely abysmal, he had no time to do anything.  Not to mention little reps.  He didn't look great but I would like to see him behind a starting Oline before I trash him to the junk pile.

Rivera was trying to win the game.  He was bringing all sorts of heat.  Rhule didn't really put him in a position to succeed.
