PJ Expected to Start Tonight

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.

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

Watch them keep 4 QBs…I think they might

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.

People are mad about the entire process TBH

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.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By firefox1234 · Posted

      The only other position group I could think of is ILB since Dan was there for Rodriguez and Hill Jr. pro days in Texas. It’s one of the reasons I get the feeling ILB could be the pick at 19.

      Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years (Brown is the only current player I think there is even an argument to be made over T-Mac there), with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.

      Draft intel from ESPN’s Jordan Reid

      By TD alt · Posted

      Laughing at Slayton (Mooney or Calvin Austin III), but telling me that Coker is the next best thing since sliced bread...You laughing at Theo Johnson in reference to our guys too? LOL No one in their right mind thinks Nabers is anything but a stud (definitely top 10 if not 5 potential). You do realize that Thomas was in a new system with a furst-time coach last year (with a questionable QB to boot)? And yet still, it's possible that he eclipses even T-mac (not saying that he will). They didn't even mention Travis Hunter. In any event, we're not in the top half. Draft another legit receiver, and we will be.
