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

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'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.

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.

      XL could easily be the last dog at the bowl for WR production next year.  That could leave him around 200-300 yards which would be disastrous.

      Well sure, that's where the disconnect is then. If Thielen only gets 300-400 yards and T-Mac is healthy for the full season, then I'm with you guys, in that scenario there is absolutely zero excuse for him to not put up over 1,000 yards.   In fact, I'll let you double that, if Thielen has only 600 yards, then again, my expectations are for T-Mac to surpass the 1k mark with ease. But his game has never been about his physical abilities, so even if he loses a half a step, he's still the same player who is a savvy route runner who will get open and Bryce will continue to find him due to their chemistry.  Particularly since Bryce isn't a QB who forces things, he takes what the defense gives him.  So when teams focus on T-Mac and Thielen is more free to find those holes in the defense than he has the last two years, I don't think Bryce is going to ignore him. If someone wants to argue for T-Mac getting to 1,000 yards, personally, I'd say those yards would be far more likelier to come from XL and Coker than Thielen.  And that has nothing to do with XL or Coker, but that I'm still a firm believer in Thielen being able to still get 50-60 yards a game, again, particularly as he'll have less defensive attention on him than in either of his 2 seasons with us so far. Just because T-Mac is our #1 of the future who will have the ball forced to him at times, doesn't mean he needs to be forced into that role from day 1 when we have 3 very legitimate WR options next to him. Let the rookie grow into the role and the NFL game, we have that ability to do so because of Thielen, XL, and Coker.

      Spot on. He's only 20 and his height 6'2 and weight 230lbs might make him more of an off-ball LB possibility. He's a multi-year project
