Will M.C. get a chance here?

The injury really set him back. Will they give him a chance to develop next season or is he done here? With the state of this team, a very high draft pick is likely.

Will they grab a top QB and spend the time developing him instead of M.C. ?

Being a third round pick he is expendable I guess in lieu of a high first round prospect 

A new coach and staff will probably want a clean slate and a guy they pick....

What u think??

It really depends on how high of a draft pick.  As bad as we looked yesterday there were several teams that looked even worse.  If we get a top 5 pick I just don't see us passing on one of these elite QBs.  

I like Corral and believe he got a very raw deal during the preseason. Rhule should be shot for the way he handled Corral's situation.  

That said, it depends on who's available at our draft pick.  If they are elite surefire starters, I think we'll take one.  If they have potential, like Corral, we may go elsewhere for the pick.

Don't forget if Baker has a great season we may have found our QB.  Sadly for me I didn't get to see much of the 2nd half but Baker got us back in the game and it was only a bad call by the refs that cost us the game.

Dude he looked like ass in the preseason. A season long injury isn’t going to help him. Shoulda drafted Howell. 

As bad as our O line looked yesterday how good do you think the third stringers in front of Corral were.

Probably terrible and probably not the best way to evaluate a guy to start. That was never the intention. He didn't get a chance to audition with the second or first team lines.

If most of the time you've got a lineman on skates being pushed all the way back to the QB chances are few and far in between.

Matt Rhule didn't want the kid to play even before he got into the building the focus was always on Baker,Baker,Baker and Sam and PJ all of whom got the bulk of reps.

All that to say, I think your not judging him fairly because we never got to see him with players of equal talent. The guys playing in front of him and at WR are selling cars at the Infinity dealership.

I don't see Matt Corral getting a fair shot with Rhule in the building and with a new coach who will absolutely have a top ten pick it's even more daunting.

If Fitts and Tepper are men of their word then Corral is safe and even if they pick a first rounder at QB next draft(which I'm in favor of since Rhule f'd up Corrals evaluation period and we will have no idea what kind of pick he'll be until next year)  the QB1 job won't be a lock for him. 

I think the kid is a fighter a straight up bully, aggressive, accurate. I'm rooting for him on this now up hill battle to start.

I don't really care. Great player but RBs can be had for a lot cheaper and he has either been massively overused to whatever the hell yesterday was in the game plan. Stay, go or trade. I'm fine with all of it if the vision from the GM and HC is coherent and based in winning principles and not the BS team building we have been doing the last 3 years.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
