That picture is the answer to a lot of perplexing questions.

My (sports)hatred of that man only grows with each passing year.

That's just because they can't 1,000% see it, I guess.

I agree from that standpoint.

I think I saw theyve said they are going to alternate quarters so he should get plenty of run.   Hopefully he settles in with time this game.

My prediction is that when PJ is in, they will go pass heavy. When Corral is in, they will go run heavy.

He's better than Darnold but that just isn't saying much. It's really about the fact that PJ Walker would most likely be on a practice squad somewhere and Sam Darnold would have been cut by the Jets and some other teams problem if we didn't have decision makers who have no idea how to evaluate quarterbacks. Corral might suck he might be good but any rookie is going to have an uphill battle with this staff imo.

So, honestly, there are a couple of things here.

First, after seeing the scraps in practice this week between the two squads (and remembering that Cam's real career ending injury came from a jailbreak blitz by the Patriots in preseason), maybe it's good that NONE of the potential starters or second stringers see the field tonight. No reason to risk anything of value on a complete waste of time preseason game.

Secondly, it might not be Darnold they are trying to trade, but Walker. He's on a cheap, cheap, cheap one year deal and if he can look good enough, some team desperate for a back up might be willing to kick us a seventh round pick for him. 

Either way, I'm not getting mad about who isn't seeing the field tonight or seeing it first. The best thing that can come out of this is if there are no injuries.

Watch them keep 4 QBs…I think they might

I'm pretty sure they'd rather have PJ on the practice squad as insurance than a future 7th round pick. Otherwise agree. Keep Darnold on ice til someone gets injured and we can unload him for $2-3M off the cap hit and a conditional late pick. 

Really hope Corral and PJ got all the walkthrough reps yesterday, I could see Rhule for some reason splitting them with Sam and Baker even though they aren't playing today

That would be shocking to say the least.  It would mean an already thin team would have to give up a roster spot to make that happen.  Which spot do you give up for Darnold or PJ?

Good question and I can’t imagine they do that but certainly possible.

I think Baker, Sam, and Corral make the official roster.  I think they cut PJ and bring him back to the practice squad.

Baker came in had to win the job. Everyone knew it was for show.

Sam's either the back up or cut. He's not gonna be our problem after this year. Less of a poo show than the Kalil experiment because imo. 

Corral is a rookie who fell to the third round because he ran a lot of RPO and people felt it would take time for how to adapt and adjust, and we have other positions that need to get reps and time that don't have the luxury of waiting for a QB to adjust and adapt alone.

I get not liking Rhule but this site's just echo-chambering itself into a frenzy over preseason and training camp.

Either we're cohesive or we're not as a team. We'll see when the season starts. This game will have almost NOTHING to add to that barring some freak injuries.

That would seem to be the logical choice.  But I left my crystal ball in my other pants.
