Looks just like UNC football last year. Constantly something out of nothing.

 

He's had an impressive preseason no doubt. But he'll be running like that in the regular season until someone lays the wood. Remember when #14 was referred to as "Sam Newton" around here for a bit last season? The Falcons put an end to that pretty quick.

I know it's extremely early. Book isn't written and corral isn't around to defend himself. But, looking at the flashes every other peer in his tier is putting up(cough Willis, pickett, ridder) did we really miss here? 

I think you are right.  We could have had Howell, but I think having two hometown rookies on the roster would have been too much for the fan base to handle.

Joe Burrow was the #1 overall pick. Sam Howell was bafflingly a 5th rounder trying to prove he deserves the nod when Wentz inevitably gets hurt. 😂

I expect Heinicke to be the #2. I expect Howell to get a shot if Wentz struggles or gets hurt for an extended period. I don't think you want to put your rookie on a position to potentially have to come in off the bench cold mid-game.

Oh I’m not comparing his overall skill to Burrow. Just stating these young QBs have to learn to protect themselves at this level. I think Howell has potential to be a solid starter.

That could certainly happen here if there's a coaching change, though I doubt it would be to this level.

Worth noting that the Vikings changed both coach and GM. So far here only Matt Rhule has been talked about as being on the hot seat.

You gotta ado what you gotta do to get to that spot that you need to protect yourself first, if that makes sense.

Honestly, I've been keeping pretty quiet on the whole thing, but I wouldn't be surprised if Corral is done.

Like, his chances of becoming anything as a QB in the NFL are next to 0 now. He came in with tools that translate well but his brain needed to be rewired through reps and practice. He was already coming in slightly rusty due to the high ankle sprain at the end of the season, and then when he got to TC he received next to no reps. Then he got thrown out into the preseason, looked like he hadn't played any actual football in 6+ months, and broke his foot. Now he won't be able to actually practice what he is learning in the classroom and getting up to NFL speed. He is on ice for the entire year.

The one thing he needed was practice and he can't get it. I would not be surprised to see him not even make it to the end of his rookie deal anymore.

      How am I all over the place?  I'm still saying that. I'm saying that Chark at his best and T-Mac right now, on the same team right now for the 2025 season, T-Mac would be ahead of him on the depth chart Week 1. Because in the same way everyone is saying, "T-Mac hasn't played a snap in the NFL yet", the very same is true to say, "nothing Chark did in his past matters moving forward" His peak was a 1,008 yard season where he was the only decent WR on a terrible team.  He didn't put up the 1k yard season because he was a great WR, it was because of how bad the rest of them on the team were. His stats aren't the same as his ability, and his ability was never all that good to begin with. Hell, most of this board agrees that T-Mac is our #1 right now, even if Thielen is Bryce's #1 option early in the saeson just because of the comfort level there, he's still just a slot safety valve and T-Mac is our #1. If you put peak Chark on the roster RIGHT NOW (even without T-Mac)... is anyone even putting him over Thielen, XL, or Coker going into this season? I'm honestly not sure many of us would consider him as such, because even at his best, he was just a JAG.  So if the same people who are okay with T-Mac being ahead of those guys right now, wouldn't put Chark above them, how can you in the same breath say Chark was better than T-Mac already is now?

      Dude... you're just all over the place. You're the one who said T-Mac is better right now than Chark was at his best.

      When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).
