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.

      Dude... you're just all over the place. You're the one who said T-Mac is better right now than Chark was at his best.

      When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      We clearly need to add a veteran stopgap at safety one way or the other.
