I'd have to argue it is if he's a developmental QB, and especially that combined with a mobile type.  A guy that will be 25 years old his rookie year needs to hit the ground running.  If not, you're banking on a guy being 26-27 by the time he gets going.  And being a mobile prospect, how long will that really last?  I guess he's no Weinke so there's that.

If he can play he can play.  He's not a top 25 pick so he wouldn't get more than one season to prove himself anyway.  It's a dart you throw this season and throw another next draft if Corral can't do it next season. Rinse and repeat until someone emerges.

I'd support him if we picked him but he's not my preference.  Maybe we could catch lightning in a bottle with him.  Sucks for the kid.

I'm not suggesting we should take him. I just said age shouldn't be a disqualifying factor in the selection. If they decide to take a shot on someone else they will be under the same development schedule and same expectations.

9-12 months. Thats rough for a rookie to miss all of training camp at that age

Lots of factors when it comes to ACL- how much damage ie is there MCL or PCL issues too. You do not know until the cutting starts. Were the tear happen on the ACL, how much longer is the ACL?? What other stuff is floating around- cartilage, nerves, blood vessels, etc etc. If its a clean tear with no other issues, modern time is MUCH less depending on the players healing factor. Its not uncommon to be back in 6 months. Plus it depends on where you play.

Back in the stone age the GOAT Jerry Rice came back in like 4 months when he was 39(?)....before all the advance in surgery which is mainly allowing the swelling to go down and not having as much scar tissue(much less cutting) thus allowing some to come back faster.... They just have a better understanding of the ACL now.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      To be clear, I am not advocating for drafting a WR.  As for the OTs we have met with--I am not sure how or when or where and whether or not that even matters. I can say this about OL:  Those tackles would not play much (unless there is an injury and Fano is probably going to be a guard.  Lomu seems to have slipped a bit (based on the perspectives of crackheads who publish on the interweb or broadcast from their pods.) I like Lomu.  I like Proctor--I think he is the #1 OT but the weight (he was 390) scares me.  Imagine him with $10m in his bank account at the gas station when the 16-pack of Reeses Peanut Butter Cup is right below his fingertips at the counter.  NOOOO! Blake Miller might be the most practical option, to be honest. I watched his vidoes for several minutes (not to exceed 10 because my father played for the Gamecocks when I was born) and I was impressed.   At 19?  A bit rich, but we don't know what the GMs know.   Bryce's contract is another issue.  If they decide to give him a bag of money (suicide hotline 1-800-JUMP), they are going to have to part ways with some vet contracts.  Moton, Hunt, and Lewis come to mind.  Ickey could be gone too.  So....I assume we will have a starting center by next year...

      My original post :  Yeah man we are in better shape than the bulk of the teams in the league.   There is no goal post moving.  We have a top 15 wr room.  We have an absolute stud and a high floor guy.  Not sure why you are disparaging our guys,  So now for the offense to be unlocked we need a speed guy playmaker, this is insanity

      1st round WR again. This will be so great.  Imagine if we had a QB worthy of all of this. It might be something.
