I could see MC being the backup to a 1st round rookie we draft next year.  If we have a top 5 pick and get a new staff you have to imagine we take a QB and let MC be a cheap backup unless we want a vet.

Doubt it.  The new staff will get assurances on a timeline therefor making it unnecessary to rush them out until they are ready.  So I bet we draft a qb and sign a vet to mentor and start the season.  Probably cutting corral or try to move him.  I doubt we keep 3 qbs 2 being developmental

If we draft a QB in the top 5 I would imagine he would start week 1.  I know there are exceptions but generally these top picks play quickly.

I could see that but even then I doubt the new staff keeps an injured 3rd rounder that nobody has seen play.  I just dont see any realistic scenario where Corral gets meaningful snaps or is even on the team next year outside of maybe the practice squad.

I wouldn't be surprised if they cut him or trade him for pennies on the dollar, but he will be a cheap option who has some potential.  Hey if we sign Kiffin as a coach he might want to roll with Corral! (kidding.... kind of).

      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.
