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.

      Well if you are gonna put it like that I probably would have to agree with you.  We’ll see how it goes. I am kind of rooting for seeing some Picket this year just for a change up. I root for a change up every year though lately.

      Big changes coming

      OK honestly I don’t identify like that but if I did I would think about being the first raised on TV generation (bad), we were probably latch key/before the term was invented - because I was raised by a single working parent, stuff like that. No baby sitters until after dark. Afternoons you just waited for an adult to show up. We were the bussing generation where they tried out their social engineering and forcing the races together in school (good and bad in that), and definitely the first bunch to have to deal with the threat of the big bomb going off. I, like everybody else was taken out in the hallway at school and taught how to and where to sit and receive my radiation dose if someone nuked us. And then they killed our president right in front of us. That is probably the most destabilizing thing that gets the least attention. The atomic bomb and the potus killing.  Around t(e same time we had the Beatles and music becoming a youth thing, with the youth gaining economic power they still have today, and top it off with a good memory of childhood - all tne Coke bottle caps had pictures of NFL players in them. We collected them. I particularly remember Mick Tinglehoff Minnesota Vikings lol. Complete with flattop haircut. We had pro football before there was ever a super bowl and in those days baseball was the king of sports in the US.But football was coming for them. And soccer was what weird funny talking foreigners did lol.

      When Kenny Pickett's arm looks noticably zippier than your starting QB you know problems are ahead.
