Question about Matt Corral

This is like watching people convince themselves that the Jets were the root of Darnold's problems and we'd fix him. 

Corral is on a cheap rookie contract so he'll be given every chance to compete but don't be shocked when we sign a stop gap vet and draft a rookie high and he's looking at trying to justify a roster spot as a 3rd QB.

And that is the best plan at this point.  Since Corral is an unknown, you have to proceed with the knowledge we have one QB who is an enigma at this point.

Hopefully that predicament is the last vestige of The Process we have to deal with.  It would be nice if we knew something about Corral's NFL potential after a year.  But, no, thanks to Mr. Nebraska.

Absolutely. Corral is on the roster and he's cheap so we have every incentive to let him compete. But we should go about assembling our roster as if he's a bust. If he pans out, awesome! Unexpected bonus. If he's a bust, oh well but luckily we've already planned for that.

Which QB would you rather have now?

I never trashed Corral for not being Howell. I said he was my #2 QB in the draft. I would've taken Howell but I wasn't mad about taking Corral. But damn... the gap was wider than I thought it was.

ripp did this same shtick with Kyle Trask a few years ago. This is just what he does. He's never been wrong about anything, just ask him.

Calm down LG. We know how you feel. As for me? I'm not sure any of last years class will amount to anything due to their situation. Pickett probably landed in the best situation out of the bunch. Corral landed in the worst situation.

This years class is a mystery and their fate will largely depend on which coach they end up with.

I'd be shocked if the Panthers don't bring in a vet and draft a QB this year while they try and coach up Corral as plan C.  Also, I'd be somewhat surprised if anyone in the building views Darnold as an adequate answer for our vet QB.

I'm not exactly looking forward to Rivera getting ahold of my favorite QB since Cam.

He's not in a good situation that's for sure.

I'd be fine with Sam as the vet IF we draft a QB high in round one. A guy clearly drafted to be the franchise QB.

Sam showed me in his benching that he would be an ideal vet mentor. Great dude in the locker room. Great attitude. Seems like an ideal stopgap/mentor guy.

Meh, while technically a vet, Darnold doesn't seem to possess the wisdom nor the experience I'd like to see in a viable backup.  Darnold strikes me more as someone that would be taking advice from a decent rookie QB halfway through the season.  At that point what good is Sam Darnold to the team?

Who else available would be a better option? Not being an ass, honest question.

I mean, I guess. But I honestly know nothing about him other than he's been in the league forever and went to Michigan.
