Lance for Corral. Straight up. They're ready to give up on Lance. We're ready to give up on Corral.

A big part of why is that he can't get the offense down, even after three years.

I don't think introducing him to a new one is gonna produce better (or quicker) results.

Remember many many Panthers fans that were upset and angry we took Derrick Brown over him.

Lots of people here, including totally unbiased Clempsin fans, had a hard on for this guy when it was pretty obvious his game ain’t gonna translate to anything special in the league. He’s a football player and can maybe find a niche as joker type of player but wow what a big miss. The Clemson defense busts continue.

This one is crazy. A 7th! He hasn't lived up to where he was drafted, but I didn't think he fell off this much.

I thought the last two years he’d been decent. He’s had 200+ tackles the past two years and 5.5 sacks/3 INTs/14 PDs. He’s not a game changer but seems more like Arizona might be dumping him so they don’t have to worry about his next contract/5th year option. That team is a mess. Giants likely got a good one year rental and can decide after the year if they want to keep him.

That 2021 QB class was supposed to be special and so far it’s turning it to be dud city.

Fields has had a great camp and finally has weapons around him. Lawrence has gotten better from year one to two. Lance should have never been drafted where he was. Wilson has looked good in preseason. Mac Jones was always the high floor, low ceiling guy and looks just like that in New England. 
 

Wilson would be getting another chance to start if not for AR.

I think you are spot on with that assessment.  Lance was (grossly) overdrafted.  It was not a risk, it was an all-out gamble.  When the 49ers made the trade for the pick, I thought they would grab Fields and maybe Jones (which would have also been a gross overdraft).

Wilson looked like a bust but may be catching on and Rodgers buys the Jets some time to figure that out.  Jones is what he was thought to be coming out.  Hoodie may have had visions of him quietly being Brady-light, so there may be some disappointment there but that would be squarely on lofty expectations.

Lance stands alone right now as the guy who looks to be on the outside looking in pretty quickly.

    • We've literally seen him hop around the pocket to survey the field in multiple occurrences. Defenses have this on tape. Cam and QB's like him built the way he was height and strength wise could get by on those natural gifts in their prime. Bryce Young is unequivocally going to have to go above and beyond with his footwork in order to carve out not just a long career but an elite career worthy of a top overall draft selection. We should be able to wholeheartedly agree with one another on that. Intermediate sideline throws without placing the ball out of bounds where the receiver has to contort themselves or make an absurd acrobatic catch for it to be a completion. And yes developing a better chemistry in the deep passing game with his receivers to avoid miscues. Both areas will need to see improvement if the young offense is to develop the way we hope in 2025. And we don't necessarily need to be winning mind you. But development of the supporting cast requires this from Bryce. We have invested a ton of capital in the offensive line. We've invested heavily in WR. We've invested in our backfield. We've invested in TE. We've got a young up and coming offensive minded head coach. The expectation should be for our redzone efficiency to improve significantly. That is not just on Bryce Young. But at the end of the day it will always begin and end with him more often than not. It's always been that way and that's just the nature of the position in this league. And not for nothing but before we drafted Bryce Young nobody was going around here saying we need elite play across the board and top shelf coaching for him to be effective. His biggest selling point was his ability to succeed off script and make something out of nothing. We're certainly going to have to see that come to fruition. Now we wait.
    • I said years ago that RBA was another Rivera. 
    • Honestly, for me, I actually don't care all that much about being the 1st overall pick and him living up to that selection. It's the trade we made to go get him that he has to live up to for me.   You can't be even just an average starting QB after a trade like that, because if that's all we're getting out of it, we could have kept going with journeyman type of QB's or taken a shot on a Jalen Milroe type in the 2nd to get similar play but then have kept Moore and all those other draft picks to build around them.
