I expect him to get some meaningful Reps this preseason.  He'll be groomed to be a backup.  You are relying on a rookie to start; you might as well have good young back up.  

It only benefits us for Reich and Co. to develop Corral.  If he were to get some meaningful minutes, he could boost our chances of trading him for our 3rd back.

There's nothing to do but watch the show.  He really got a raw deal. This ultimately ended up as a horrible destination. Just horrible.

Where else was he gonna go. He probably would have just been drafted by another team and never given a chance. Corral as the franchise QB died when he got injured.

I don't see how anyone can say he got screwed by a person.

He got injured. Had he not, he might have seen the field last year. Everyone else did. I don't know who to blame that on, but I am sure someone has it down to Rhule, Fitterer or Tepper and the crowd will follow. 

 

Well we just have to disagree (and the crowd is not necessarily following).

Rhule never ever gave Corral any serious consideration. None, whatsoever. I think that the injury was at least an indirect result of Rhule's mishandling of the rookie. Anyone that's trying to play up mental reps, giving a rookie maybe four reps (if lucky), and placing him behind guys that probably aren't even in.the NFL, much less the team, isn't valuing that rookie as all. The O-line got pushed back and run slam over, and as a result the injury occurred and Corral has been on ice during a very critical time if his career really derailing it from even getting going. At least give the kid a couple of reps with the second string to see what he does. Rhule mismanaged Corral to the Nth degree.

Oh manI shouldn't argue again but.... I don't think blaming people is productive, it isn't likely an accurate charge, etc.

It was said in plain English when he was drafted that he was a developmental pick. The defined it that way. I wasn't against it, I tend to like the smaller risk investments that are not immediate payoffs. 

So it was never in the plan for him to step Right in. That is revisionist. It is unfortunate that Rhule handled the QB position the way he did, for three seasons and last year, adding Mayfield was just muddying the waters further. 

I hope there is agreement that had Corral not gotten hurt, he would have gotten plenty of practice reps through the season even if with the scout team because PJ would likely have been cut. He would have gotten a year in the QB room which I don't know how that worked with him on IR but anyhow, this is the year he really could have been competing. But you know, he got injured. 

If he is on track for clearance to play in July as I heard, and with a new staff, this is just a bad break to start his NFL journey. I can't blame Reich for letting him go given he doesn't have a ton to go on and the player just won't be ready. Maybe they IR him again, and do have some interest in keeping him. But then, Reich who is (rightly) seen as a far better QB man than Rhule, scouted the kid, no doubt. So maybe even a healthy Corral wouldn't have gotten him excited, but he probably would have been wise enough to see what was up before moving him out. Again, it comes to a cliche even:  the best ability is availability. Life in the NFL. Pro sports. 

If he is any kind of victim he is a victim of circumstances. And his own frailty I guess. Or fate. I don't see a person to make the bad guy moving forward.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is how Morgan is strategic-He re-signs Scott because he was not going S in round 1--he had the chance, and he did not.  He saw the top of the draft at T and knew none of them would be ready to start day 1, so he signs a veteran to a one-year deal, giving his tackle selection a chance to learn and prepare for what might be LT or RT.  Those two moves suggested, perhaps ironically because they contradict each other, what he was going to do, based on the talent pool.  He never brought in a Robinson replacement at DE/NT, and then moves up to draft one.   I almost wonder if the intent was to draft DT/DE all along at some point, maybe with a trade back, but then Freeling dropped to them.   Of course, we felt that they were looking WR, and wonder if the plan was to draft a WR in round 2 if you traded back in round 1.  However, when Freeling was there, the trade back fell apart.  Then we traded up for Hunter.  We could stick with XL and hope Metchie steps up, so we sat still in round three and took Brazell II, a 1000 yard speedster and perfect Z WR.  What a break. At that time, CB and Center were our biggest needs, and with several possible centers on the board and a good fit for our defense at CB, we grabbed Will Lee III.  Lee and Thornton have people in front of them, but I think Morgan knew we needed a guy who can play the outside and press--and probably step in as Jackson's replacement in 2027.    After making trades to get back into the fifth round, where we grabbed one of the best centers in the draft.  This is significant because we signed Fortner to a one-year deal; maybe Morgan saw what some of us saw--the center position is strong in this draft--on day 3, and day 3 players need a year, in most cases.  Moments later, a safety they had been talking to whose skill set matched what we are looking for in a FS.  As stated, Scott was signed,  but the fact that the Panthers were talking to Wheatley and not Theiemann means that they might have known they were not going FS early, but would need a developmental FS later--which explains why we signed Scott.  So if you pay attention to the one-year, vet deals, you can tell where we planned to sign later-round, developmental players.  What positions did we draft early that did not have 1-year veterans signed in front of them:  DL (Hunter) and WR (I don't count Metchie because I count starting-level players). I would not be surprised to learn later that the plan was DT and WR in rounds 1 and 2--then Freeling fell.  Notice that Freeling--from Mt Pleasant SC, did not come in for a visit.  Most of the other OT candidates had short arms or were certain to be gone. I don't think Freeling was in their plans.  I think a trade back and Hunter and maybe Boston was the vision.  I am guessing that CB was also high on their list.   So in this draft, we got

      This is one area I think that is not getting enough exposure in the midst of all the optimism. I like Chuba a great deal from a personal standpoint but he has largely proven nothing on a consistent basis yet. He's had the one season of production but before that most people pegged us as moving on. And last year injuries or not he just did not have that juice. The rest of the guys are completely unproven. I don't see anyone among the group having a game or a handful of games worth of high level production the way Rico Dowdle did last year. And yeah he dropped off and yeah he got an attitude about our incompetent handling of the touches which was honestly justified on his part and he moved on but he did legitimately save our season. That's what it is going to take to seize control of the NFC South. We all know that we will not be passing all over defenses. It is what it is. So who amongst this RB group is capable of doing that? And if we are struggling to run the ball AND pass are we going to revert to making excuses for our coach and QB again? That is definitely getting old.
