If stashing a talent on your bench and not playing him is such an effective way to develop a qb why aren't more teams doing it?

Actually many still do. Look at GB or San Fran as 2 examples. Guys like Mahomes sat a year also. It used to be the norm not the exception. Rookies starting are almost always a recipe for disaster.

Being on IR isn't sitting on the bench. It isn't even close. He won't get experience in practice etc. At least some elements of the mental game through team meetings may improve but yeah.

Well if Mayfield doesn’t work out we are picking a qb next draft.

We're picking a QB next draft 6-11 incoming.

I don't think him getting injured was the plan..

"Redshirting" and him not practicing or playing most certainly was

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...

Actually I didn't have any delusions of grandeur for Corral. It wouldnt matter if you inserted Pickett, Howell, Zappe, Willis or any other QB that we traded up into the 3rd to acquire.

My issue has always been how Matt Rhule has been incompetent, and that's being very generous, with regard to the QB position of this franchise since his arrival.

Teddy was never a franchise QB. But we signed him to a ridiculous contract based on backup level performance only to eat his contract and trade him a year later. 

Then we bring in THE Sam Darnold barely watching any game tape on him. Trade a 2nd, 4th, and 6th for a QB no one else wanted. Didn't play him in preseason. A couple wins, barely against the Jets starting a rookie QB, barely against  a mid round rookie qb in his first NFL game, and a win against NO missing half their coaching staff because of covid. Then he got to some real NFL competition and it all fell apart. Shocker. We will ignore the 5th year extension. 

PJ is PJ. He's here because of where he went to school. There's 20 other PJs out there. That's just the cold hard truth. 

So we bring in a busted Cam, start him with no preparation, and expect what? We continue losing. But Cam did bring some energy, so naturally we benched him for Darnold. 

Then there's Watson and that debacle. It's not like Sam didn't know he was out as starter. But then Watson didn't want us, thankfully, which caused a poo show in Cleveland causing friction so...

Now we have Baker as our starter. Well, not officially because it's still a competition with a guy we tried to replace TWICE this off-season. And of course we still have PJ who brings, whatever he brings to Rhule to still be on the roster. 

And we have Corral. A QB we traded up into the 3rd to get. We need to develop him. We needed a plan that goes beyond this season. He needed the reps in preseason and camp because if he doesn't get them, it delays his development. Sam is gone after this season, and PJ likely was at the end of camp before Corral's injury. 2 guys who shouldn't be here at the beginning of next year. If Baker gets hurt, our season is done. Sam and PJ aren't taking you to a wild card or a division title. Redshirt him during the season if you feel the need. But when it mattered, for the future of his development and the only QB under contract beyond this season it was important to get more than 3 snaps in practice and some mental reps. 

Rhule is all about the win now mentality. It reeks of desperation because if he doesn't win, he's done. At least most other owners would fire him, maybe not Tepper. 

My biggest fear, and expectation, is we're going to be headed into next season with a new coach, new staff, no experience in our QB room, looking like an expansion team trying to figure out how to find a QB. 

I'm not saying playing Corral would have fixed all that and somehow made everything better and been our Russell Wilson. But it would have shown some forethought and planning for the future. But we don't do that here.

Yep.. Beside the fact he did practice and he got hurt playing..

[Chaos]

When that injury happened last night, I didn't even want to utter the bitch's name, but it has now been made official.

Fug Liz Frank.

No I don't think it's good he got hurt at all..

Especially for him..

The team I don't know if it affects this season  much..

[shreddingdefense]

Even if the plan was not to practice and play him. Why in the mother of god would you attempt pass after pass when your own offense is backed up in their own endzone?

 

RUN THE BALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!
