PJ Expected to Start Tonight

[rippadonn]

Trying to crush the rookie's spirit. What is Matt Rhule actually "teaching" Matt Corral? You ain't sh*t with your fancy skill set and circus accuracy.

This is the absolute worst situation a rookie could be in. 

Tepper needs to man up and fire this guy now. Let McAdoo and Snow figure it out. This is worse than Seifert and is showing no signs of improvement.

This coach is making mistake after mistake after mistake.

Tepper is soft. Jerry would have put this joker out on his ass already.

Today, not challenging your starters, disgraceful. That's not football.

I thought the QB1 battle was over

He either plays the whole game or Corral only gets a drive or two in the fourth quarter.

You're getting 6-7 quarters of PJ Walker Football the rest of the preseason, and either Darnold or Corral are getting cut

Preseason football ain't what it used to be. 

Dropping a game seamed to have changed the way teams approach it.  I guess we shall see if it improves the game in the long run.  I suppose once you understand what's really going on in preseason it will start to make sense.

Based on what?

Matt Rhule's love of PJ Walker and his abject refusal to put Corral in any position which could make him better?

They truly believe someone is going to trade for Darnold lol

I assume their thinking is that after another terrible week of practice having him start for other teams to see isn’t going to improve is already negative trade value 

So with that said I understand standing PJ. PJ will be QB2 this year I’m guessing

Walker plays the first and third quarters, Corral gets the second and fourth. If Rhule can college it up, he's gonna do it. 

Is it so hard to just give Corral three quarters of a preseason game? Maybe some time where, unlike last week, he's not working with:

OL: 5 UDFAs
WR: 2 UDFAs
TE: 2 UDFAs
RB: 2 UDFAs

As I've stated repeatedly, I think PJ is actually the second best QB in this roster currently.  I like PJ.  Buy I just don't understand the logic behind this. Whether you are like me and think we should cut Darnold and PJ should be the backup, or of you think PJ is the odd man out at the final cuts, it doesn't make sense in either scenario.  

Don't get me wrong, Matt looked like a deer in headlights in game one, and a really scared one at that.  He looked overwhelmed.  But, I've made it a point to emphasize, that's partly a product of not getting reps in practice/preseason games, and being surrounded by mostly roster filler in the 4th quarter of a preseason game.  So, despite how bad he looked, I would like to see him with some NFL level talent around him for an extended amount of time.  Even of he gets the 2nd half tonight, it's still gonna be with mostly roster fodder and future cuts.  And this brings us back to why the reps they're wasting on Darnold are so important.

Cutting Corral would cause an EPIC Huddle meltdown.

So if the plan is to trade Sam and keep PJ as QB wouldn’t it make the most sense to start PJ tonight?

Giving PJ all those reps last week makes sense now too no?

I think PJ will be the backup this year.

We're talking about Matt Rhule. I'll just leave it at that.
