Would it not be smart to keep M.C around?

I’d say give him the preseason to see where he is. Then decide to keep him or stash him on the PS. I can’t imagine we could get more than a 6th for him right now. He has an injury history and didn’t even make it to the regular season in year 1.

That's where I am with him.  Assuming we draft Young or Stroud, if Corral looks decent and the coaches think he has potential, keep him.  Dalton won't be around forever.

The Process screwed both Corral and the Panthers with the way he was handled last year.  It was incompetence (or stupidity, or both) at its finest.  The result is his value in a trade is minimal. 

There may be a few teams that would show an interest, but with what we invested in him, the fact he costs little, and the fact he wouldn't garner much in a trade, I think it is better to give him a shot and see if he is worth a roster spot later. If he looks decent, one of those offers may get better as teams try to solidify their rosters for the regular season.

On the PS sure but I’d rather just carry our rookie and Dalton on the 53

The moment he gets put on the practice squad he will be picked up by another team that is willing to work with him.  It would be foolish.  If you are going to put him on the PS might as well release him.

SF should be a prime example of not giving up on a rookie.  Purty was an afterthought pick and now is heading into 2023 as the #1 QB in SF.

God forbid our rookie QB get hurt and we are back to running with a has been QB.

If our rookie QB gets hurt I can’t see Matt Corral saving the season I’d rather have that 53rd spot as a un upside d lineman that could actually work into the rotation. Having 3 QBs in the 53 is a poo roster construction IMO

Let another team have him. He won't see the field here.

TBH, he could easily be stashed on the practice squad without much threat of him being poached by another team.

That’s kind of what I thought. He was reported to be available for a “ham sandwich” and no one was interested. Stash him on the practice squad and give him a year to develop. Stroud/Young and Dalton are locks for the 2 QBs and I don’t think Reich typically has 3 active QBs on his roster.

I wouldn't get rid of him so casually. In fact, if he shows the new coaches enough potential, I'd rather dump Dalton if we only keep 2. I recognize his value as a mentor and reliable backup, but young QBs with potential don't grow on trees.

I hope the staff doesn't just discard him if he shows something.

Not sure why we would only keep two. The niners went thru 4 last year and it cost them at shot at the superbowl.

We dont have the roster the niners have if we are on our 3rd/4th QB the season is lost. Those spots can be used for people who actually contribute on game day. How many games do you think we win last season with Brock Purdy?

      Good film breakdown of Young. Good and bad. Film examples

      How did this “innovative” narrative start with Canales? Just because he’s young? He truly wants to run the ball and nothing Tampa did last year was all that creative. Mike Evans ability to win 1 on 1 does wonders for an offense as a whole

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      Initially, I wanted Stroud but I thought the trade up meant that, whoever they chose, it was for a reason.  There was no pressure to do anything for the entire scouting team to do other than investigate every aspect of the top 3 candidates.  Stroud had his question marks, and I think it is possible that he falters this year.  Bryce had a much worse situation here in Carolina because we neglected the OL, traded our #1 WR, did not pick WRs well in the draft, traded our pro bowl RB, and seem to disregard the TE position altogether.  Bozeman was not a good fit and we relied on an improved OL in 2022 to suggest that we were set there when we were far from it.  Fitterer had no vision, no grasp of talent, and everyone in the front office and on the coaching staff were pretending to be gurus.  Our coaching staff was a group of men earning a lifetime achievement paycheck.  It all goes back to the years of neglect for the OL.  My theory?  If Stroud had come to Carolina, he would be as mocked and ridiculed as Bryce Young.   No, he does not have a cannon.  Chad Pennington was a weak-armed QB who had success and would have been even better if it were not for injuries.  Smarts is important at QB, and so are mechanics.  Before you can address Young's mechanics, he needs an OL, Running game, and weapons. We were not really able to run play action from under center for a few reasons--play action is not effective when you have to pass the ball--other than that, the QB must turn his back to the LOS for about 1.5 seconds.  When the QB has less than 2.5 seconds to pass the ball, that eliminates that part of the play book.  Heck, even the run option is minimized when there is immediate facial pressure.  SO those who want to talk about happy feet, bouncing, etc--they are symptoms of the problem, not the problem.  A weak arm?  Well, Young's arm is between Chad Pennington and Joe Montana--closer to Joe.  His are is not as weak as some think--but he has issues with the deep ball. When you are reacting to the defense and quickly have to pass, then that takes away the strength because you don't have the base to get power behind it.  I still wish we had taken Stroud, but we have Young and if you toss him out before giving him support, you are not wise, unsmart, not unfoolish, and rather elite in your failure to attain mediocrity.  Expect growth.  How much? Nobody knows.
