Corral heading to IR

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.

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

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.

    • His physical attributes aren't going to change on a new team so I have no idea how he would pan out elsewhere but I can logically assume those issues he has had with processing which was supposed to be his key selling point before the draft would follow him. He was also supposed to be someone who thrives when the play breaks down but he has been inconsistent at best on that and at times horrific. I think where we each take a fork in the road on the determination of Bryce Young currently is you seem to still be treating him as a rookie and not a third year QB still repeating the same mistakes while showing that he has no arm talent to overcome even the slightest bit of adversity. I've said all along his rookie year and his sophomore season that I would be willing to overlook his interceptions if he was pushing the ball downfield consistently and even if he turned the ball over forcing a pass here and there to keep defenses honest I would accept it. But he has nothing. There is no deep passing game here. He threw the ball 55 times in Arizona which was 30 more times than Kyler Murray and only had a little over 100 more passing yards than him. Legitimately you should read that again and ponder it. That is embarrassingly atrocious. Circumstances here are not ideal with the WR's and OL but we cannot normalize this. It is horrendous. And we need to swallow our pride and begin scouting QB's for the 2026 draft. In the meantime this cannot continue on much longer for the sake of the locker room. And the upcoming schedule isn't going to get any better. If there is a silver lining to any of this we are going to find out just who Dave Canales really is throughout the rest of the season. He isn't getting a pass either.
    • I don't hate it but.....  eeeh it would take acquiring Kaprizov without giving up svech to make rod try Jarvis at 2C. Svechnikov/Aho/Kaprizov  Ehlers/Jarvis/Stankoven 
    • Given the fact he declined buku bucks over on the HOF hockey board most don't think they will even get svech..... (not even canes fans) The $$$$ tag plus lack of leverage for Minny could end up seeing him dealt for somthing around what we got for Ranttanen....
