Is there tension behind the scenes?

No, I think they all agreed on him. I just think he’s further behind than maybe they anticipated. That might have been the final straw that pushed them to trade for Mayfield. If Corral was ready, they would be prepping him for a QB battle with Darnold. He wasn’t. He might need a few years to develop.

Sweet, so we drafted the most unready qb in the draft and not only that we traded draft capital for him.  Typical panther move

Especially over a 3rd round rookie player that was only likely to see the field if Mayfield hadn't been traded for and Darnold had been injured.

Fitt called him the QB of the future in the post draft press conference. Rhule putting him with fourth stringers from the very beginning suggests he didn’t agree.

and yes speculation is deserved when there’s an obvious disconnect

I am not looking to create drama.  All the hype about Corrall when Fitt drafted him, calling him our future QB and then not giving him meaningful reps is mind boggling.  If I believed in my evaluation to grade him as our top QB draft choice then I would surely want to invest more time and resources to develop him. Putting him with fourth stringers who are just camp fodder suggests a total disconnect between Rhule and Fitt.

Rhule is an ego maniac who wants to assert control of the roster

I agree with something I read. Rhule is in  make or break year. So prioritizing a 3rd round rookie isn’t important. 
That said two years in you can easily see who Rhule favors and doesn’t favor. 
Also he is still calling players out during press conferences and giving not-so-subtle blame. Which is just so unprofessional, imo. 
Either don’t say anything or talk to them behind close doors. 

Yeah, that was discussed when we drafted Corral.  Rhule has to win this season.  If he doesn’t he mostly likely is done.  There is little reason for him to care about developing a 3rd round rookie.  No rookie wanted to land here.   If Corral were to play this season, what it probably means Rhule was fired.

Yeah but we also don't know how much of that was just "coach speak."

Maybe there is a disconnect or maybe Fitt was saying what he had to.

I think Corrall was Fitt’s draft choice and Rhule refusing to give him reps has to be creating some tension behind the scenes. There is no other explanation that would make sense.  

I mean, this same thing sort of happened with Armanti Edwards. If Edwards came out of the draft now he would almost certainly be with the Ravens or 49er's, as a QB. But at the time John Fox (rightfully) wanted no part because the mold was what it was (it is what it is) at that time. 

Not sure if that's what is going on here though.

      Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.

      Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
