Lombardi: Panthers trying to trade Corral. Can be had for a "ham sandwich"

If this is true, Tepper does not deserve to ever have a winning football team. We traded this year's round 3 pick to drop down for Corral, and we are going to trade him for nothing? We also gave away CMC to try to make up for picks squandering by the Tepper brain trust. How on earth did this guy get rich? I realize it was something unrelated to football but still.   

Tepper has nothing to do with it.  Corral was drafted by Rhule and his staff in the 3rd round.  We have a new staff now that wants their guy.  This kind of stuff happens all the time.  O'Connell cut Mond who was a 2nd round pick the year before he was hired.  Tepper is letting the football guys make football decisions.  Do you really think Tepper is calling down to Fitt and wanting a 3rd round IR rookie traded away??? The Cards spent a first on Rosen then hired a new coach who drafted Murray with the top pick the very next year.  I'm not saying this will happen, but if it does it's not that big of a deal.  You are obviously extremely bias as you are an Ole Miss fan.

Which is what? He was getting 8 reps a day in Fall Camp last year. Then the Huddle acts like his Preseason games were indicative of something. Lombardi is full of crap. 

and half of the Huddle acts like we mortgaged our future for a top QB in Corral.  It was a future 3rd and he immediately got hurt.  I'd prefer to keep him on the roster, but if there is no room I won't lose any sleep over trading him away for pennies.  New staff wants their guys at the most important position.

Didn't listen to it, but NONE of the things OP shared sound correct considering the things we've heard.

Lombardi may have better sources than everyone else but, unless I hear otherwise, I'm just wondering what he's drinking along with his ham sandwich.

1. he doesn't know what Corral would get because Corral has not been on the block.

2. if they traded him right now, it would be highly premature because they haven't even seen him throw. that's a major reason it won't happen. 

3. people talk out of their ass all the time, that doesn't make it a rumor. it just means they want to validate their point by saying unprovable things.

4. If Corral was dealt, we would get at least a 4th for him, because I doubt we were the only ones who had him on their board and at worst he would have gone in the next 30 picks. He has given the league no reason to believe his stock has gone down. In fact, one could presume he's a year more mature after a year of understudy.

We wouldnt get a 4rth.  He is devalued now as a 3rd rounder because of one year into his contract and of course the major injury.  He is probably a 6th at this point.   I wish we would keep him but the writing is on the wall

the major injury was probably somewhat exaggerated in my opinion. even if it weren't then it's not that big of an issue. it's not like it was his throwing shoulder. the one year into his contract doesn't matter a lot. if teams liked him in the draft last year they'll give up a comparable pick maybe a round back. you just don't usually see guys traded in this situation without having been seen except for a quarter of football.

Right after that he mentioned the Panthers getting rid of players Rhule brought in with the exception of Horn. Also mentioned they aren't interested in resigning Sam Darnold.

Interesting couple of minutes. The time it starts may vary based on how you listen to your podcast.

I assume the Panthers brass told Lombardi this explicitly so he can tell us, right?   RIGHT?

Is Lombardi usually reliable with info? I'm not buying it. The way Fitt still talks about Darnold leads me to think there is interest in him in a vet/bridge type signing.

As for Corral, I think it's way too early to give up on him. He had zero coaching and got hurt last year. He's essentially a rookie again this season. No idea what we have in him until he's gets out there with this staff. I don't know if he can be a franchise QB, but a solid backup for sure.

tbh, until I see the Panthers actually sign a Veteran/Bridge/Backup that ISN'T Sam, I am calling Bullsh*t on Lombardi. 

 

Show me Brissett being signed here or Garrapolo or whomever....THEN I'll believe that they've moved on from Darnold.

    • Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

    • 2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
