There is as much tape on Corral as there are on any QBs in this draft.  I don't know what the rules are about a coach getting with a player on their own time but Corral has been out of his boot for well over 3 months now and should be able to start throwing and working on his craft.   

Should Corral and McCown get the opportunity to work some it will greatly help in the decision on whether we HAVE to draft a QB or COULD draft a QB. 

They're not allowed to talk to players before OTAs.

If a player was working out in the weight room he wouldn't even be allowed to ask the strength coach questions. 

It's stupid. Players can't seek out the coaches voluntarily to improve themselves and coaches can't seek out the players.

First of all he is a better passer than AR15 that's a fact. 

Second it does take all 11 people doing their job on offense. 

If he was signed for 8mil like I want and if he improves as much next year as he did this year he'd be great.

I've said it a thousand times. 

Draft someone in the next 2 years.

Sign Sam for pennies 

Have MC9

Let the cream rise to the top.

 

That's a far cry from ZOMG Sign Sam to a 8yr deal 40 mil per.

Why don’t you think Sam can be our franchise QB?

He's still young and played much better at the end of the season outside of the New Orleans game. If I were the GM, I wouldn't trade our pick and if one of the QBs land in our lap I would take him.  Most mocks I have seen has one of the top four QBs fall to us.  I would select that QB and go into camp with Darnold, Corral and the rookie.  All of them on an equal plateau.  No one really slotted above the other. Let them battle it out. 

Darnold, IMO, would have the upper hand because he has the experience.  Reich and McCown would have their hands full with improving Darnold and developing Corral and the rookie. It would be a huge upgrade over the QB room we had last year.   

I think Darnold could be had at a very decent price.  Going after another Vet might just cost us more and take away from other positions that we might try to upgrade.

I don't think anyone can be our franchise QB until they become our franchise QB.

Even with picks unless it's Payton Manning Or Marino coming out (someone that's absolutely can't miss prospect)

 

If Sam can keep this progression up yes he could be the guy. It's worth an 8mil gamble. If he doesn't pay off you didn't lose anything. 

 

Vs say Signing Lamar who really hasn't done much losing multiple draft picks and having tons of Cap tied up in one guy is a huge huge gamble.

Risk vs reward.

Here's my issue with Lamar.  They guy wants a ton of money.  Most of these QBs that demand so much money end up hurting the team.  They have so much money tied up in one player that you end up skimping on other positions.

I love Lamar but what he wants in a contract is too rich for me.

No 

they’d have to go with his pre draft evaluation and whatever info they can get how he looked in camp.

Which won’t be enough to prevent us from taking one of these top 4 QBs if available.

 

So... the tape that made him go in the third round.

Another QB will(must) be drafted.

This approach makes way too much sense.

McCown "mentoring/helping" Sam his rookie year isn't a glowing resume item imo. Sam was trash and still is trash. He can't read opposing defenses or make big time throws. Soooo he's not a NFL QB, move on....move on....move on! 

He cannot stay healthy and he loses his mind in the slightest of pressure.  We gave him generational wealth unnecessarily and his ass can hit the road asap.  He could play for free and I still wouldnt want him

Dude for like the umpteenth time, if we draft a guy in the top 10 that qb is getting all the love.  All the reps etc.  They will not treat any of them on a "equal plateau" they will use all their resources in getting that qb up to speed as quickly as humanly possible.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
