Really hope we can develop him into a valuable backup.  Unlike Will Grier.

it’s crazy to see people really banking on the idea of him being the franchise guy though.

So you think his ceiling is backup? That means we wasted a pick on him. The truth is the he hasn't played enough for anyone to know what his ceiling is.

Generally guys in that range 

especially QBs ceilings are backups.   A lot of teams get their backup QBs in rds 3-4.

he hasn’t played enough which is true.  But he has limited tools compared to some and already coming from a college system which is a Huge Huge learning curb.  He’s never had to read defenses, read coverages, and go through all of his reads.  And that’s even getting into the injuries.

 

Will Grier played a whole 2 games and never had this almost cult following Corral has to become a future guy.  Which is nuts.

He deserves a chance. What is Brock Purdue had not been given a chance.

They didn’t go into the season banking on Purdy to be their QB. He was the THIRD option. No one is saying cut Corral, just that he shouldn’t be our top or main option at QB. We need to draft one and sign a vet. If Corral works out it’s a nice bonus.

A mid 3rd round pick for a solid backup isn’t a wasted pick. Hell several of these playoff teams have leaned on their backup QBs to get here.

I agree. But being given a chance means some time behind the starters on the line, and coaches need to spend some time with him to develop him as much as possible. He was an afterthought this year, even before he was hurt. All we heard about was Mayfield. Brock Purdy was helped a lot by Jimmy Garrapolo according to McCaffrey.

Damn Washington is rolling with Howell next year. We could have had him with our 5th round pick… hindsight right?

Ron gonna Ron. Had he gone to Howell a few weeks earlier the Commanders might be in the playoffs.

I think the Panthers need to hire outside consultants to help evacuate these QBs.  We could have picked Howell with that 3rd and blew it.  They don’t know good QBs apparently

We gave up a draft pick to move down. That is a wasted pick for someone you think only has back up potential. Fitterer and McAdoo obviously liked him:

Things started off with the Panthers decision to trade up with the Patriots and select Matt Corral with the 94th pick as he told Kyle that when the QBs started to slide late in the 2nd round they started to get active and trade up and they eventually found the right spot with the Patriots and that allowed them to get Matt Corral. Scott also said he was very surprised at how far the QBs fell and he said for one reason or another teams just didn’t want to take a QB this year.

Also, pretty funny how people think Sam Howell is a franchise qb after a poor outing with 57.9% completion percentage. Both might be great or terrible. We don't have a big enough sample size to make that determination. One thing is for sure, Wilkes just did just enough to totally screw us for drafting a qb this year.

Yeah they treated a future third (which doesn’t hold the same present value as a current 3rd) and that late 4th pick. That doesn’t seem like much value for a potential starting QB. We were “interested” when he fell in the 2nd, but still didn’t want to give up more than a future third.

He’d still get a chance with another face in the room.

But I wouldn’t bet my house on him being the guy.   So in no way should he detter you from taking one.  The same way Will Grier should’ve never deterred us from getting another QB

      Alejandro Avila: Are We Really About To Hand Offensive Rookie Of The Year To An 'Okay' Receiver?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Adam Thielen had 1000 yards with rookie Bryce. I guess he's using that as comparison. Just kidding. Calm down.

      We definitely improved from 2024 to 2025, to me the results were less important than the roster in that regard. It's better. It's still a very bad roster but continuing to be better is the goal. The changes we are talking about at QB are about spending LESS resources. Not picking up Bryce's 5th is a big potential savings. Significantly better QB's have been had in recent years for half or less than what Bryce will get in 2026. To say nothing of an extension(the ridiculous subject of this thread) which would cripple roster building by saddling it with a bloated QB contract for an awful QB. The price for Bryce, I mean who is even making that argument anymore? I don't think you are seeing anyone in this thread discussing trading up to #1 for Mendoza.  We are talking about cheap backup and FA QB's and Day 2 and 3 draft guys. That is literally tied to the idea of roster building. IMPROVE at QB while you build the roster so that we can actually potentially attract a franchise QB or when you make that big move up(SF for Lance) that your roster is so good that the impact is largely negated.  After all, improving over Bryce is an extremely low bar to hit. Let's not assume that standing pat would have resulted in a sudden spurge in good decision making. Don't forget who was making all those roster calls at the time. Bryce or not, we would have fuged it up in some way because we had idiots at the helm. We may still yet. Also, it's easy to say we can't get in the habit of switching QB's like that but there are also plenty of situations where that flip was the correct decision. Richardson to Jones, Rosen to Murray, Fields to Williams, Lance to Purdy(technically some nuance to this), etc. There is no real danger of Bryce leaving and suddenly becoming an elite QB. We all do know this, no matter how big of a Bryce stan you may be. His ceiling is middling game manager. So there isn't some crazy risk of moving on.

      Honestly. You can see it on the field. Bryce will literally skip a pass on the ground rather than throw a contested catch to XL. Especially when it's one where XL would have to fight back to the ball. Coker is actually really good at that. Coker lacks real NFL speed (not a small thing), but he maxes out in most other categories.
