But if its non operative, he could in theory come back in 8-10 weeks.

wasn't the word already put out that he is going to get surgery ?  I would think the coaching staff would be looking out for his long term best interests at this point and that requires surgery for that injury.

Sam Darnold is what he is. If he's our starting QB because Baker is injured the season is over anyway. Sam could run with 3rd string and it will produce the same result. A happy feet, 1 read QB that loves to throw the check down. No amount of starter or 2nd string reps is ever going to change that. We could very realistically now be going into the off-season with one QB on the roster that's been on IR all year. Zero knowledge in our QB room. That is asinine. 

This is about looking beyond this season. You have to do it. Even if Corral is only taking 2nd string snaps during pre-season, he needed reps. Sam could have been backup during the season with Corral taking reps as 3rd qb when available. 

We are on our 5th qb in 3 years. Unless we re-sign one of the 3 amigos, it will be 6. This coaching staff with the QB position is a fugging joke. 

You do realize you're talking about a staff who is playing this on a 1 year basis right!!

From the start you should have known that they didn't see Corral as a starting option this year if they could help it..

So while some of you had Russell Wilson,  and Dak Prescott in your heads..

They were thinking Redshirt year and only break glass in a emergency...

When has a redshirt year ever worked in the nfl?

Wouldn't be the first time a team has IR'ed a player to save a roster spot and to keep a developmental player from being poached.  Am I saying the injury is completely bogus?  No, but I am saying that if not for this injury there would have been another one which really could have been questionable in another week or two.  In short, Corral was going to IR at some point anyway, IMO.

    • So, objectively, you'd say from a holistic review of Rico's performance and the team overall there were at least a dozen players on the team that performed at least as well if not better in their roles?
    • I'm not a huge fan of BY, but he does have some clutchness developing
    • While you're correct, people are just sick of being told, "you don't understand this, you're dumb" despite what their eyes say. This applies to the Panthers and anything else in life. This board can be a miserable place, but this isn't the old days anymore because Social Media & Reddit have hijacked old-school forum users.  I have in the last year or so taken a massive step back from Social Media & Reddit. Deleted accounts on both, I only have X/Twitter now. But I was looking for an outlet for Panthers talk and I did not want to do that on X much at all. There are only two legitimate outlets for that I've found, here and SB Nation. SB Nation I used to partake in, but they absolutely bumble-f*cked the comments section, and I like the setup of the posts + comments, as opposed to article + comments. Also, as others have pointed out, being a Panthers fan has been a horrendous existence since Cam left. Just an awful crew of coaches, draft picks, trading away great players, etc. It's been miserable.  Ever since Tepper bought the team, I hoped that he commit to a full rebuild. He never did, he thought there were shortcuts and so did Rhule. This hamstrung us for years, and then he massively overstepped with the BY trade.  This ruined the team building, because there was no depth, and then it ruined nuanced BY discussions because of the insane haul we gave up. He will never live up to that, I think many people are finally wrapping their heads around that now which is good. The best thing for this board to get better is for the Panthers to win more, draft well, and to stay committed to crawling through this Andy Dufrense poop-pipe to escape the depths of NFL hell. It will be ugly and stink along the way, but you can see already this year if we commit to drafting then the team and the vibes can turn around quicker than you think.  I am extremely optimistic about the draft class this season, it's something to watch, talk about, and celebrate. It also gives Dan and I think by extension Dave Canales more of a leash, which I think we need to give them and grant them the time to turn this boat around.
