Good on him to make it easy on Bryce for obvious reasons. But the Matt Corral jokes are really dumb for us as a fan base. We need him to do well. We want him to be as good as possible. The better he is, the better the team is. 

Injuries happen. And with a longer season, he could see real playing time. I love that he's motivated. I love that he has a chip on his shoulder. I hope he makes our QB room more prepared and competitive. 

while I mostly agree, that's why his post was so ridiculous and immature. We traded up to draft him 365 days ago--for him to act like he's instantly not appreciated for something he should have known we were doing the second we traded up for first overall, just seems like entitled trash. I'm not sure where he thinks he's going in this league where he's going to have some starter's shot that we're not giving him, but GMs that would be trading for him now have that post to question his inability to deal with any remote competition to point at.  It was just an extremely emotional / reactionary thing to do and he had a literal month to sit on the fact that he would be on the outside looking in inside our and therefore every QB room in the league

I feel you and I can agree. Matt Corral is a chippy guy and uses those kinds of things to motivate him. I've seen much stupider things posted from older athletes. Alot of these guys are maturing in front of us. But I also want to give him credit for taking the post down and getting on board with the program. (at least for now.)

The kid is 24 years old and grew up in this age of social media. Its a given that he is "immature" and rightfully so being that age, and dealing with all the pressures of a draft, a team, agents in his ear about 10's of millions of dollars that is possibly on or off the table and so many others.

Somewhere in your posting history is much more immaturity than Matt Corral making an instagram post dealing with all he has to deal with.

Not gonna lie was kinda hoping for Mingo to go with 0 

I was also hoping for this, but only if Horn didn't want it, they're the two I'd have liked to wear it.

I was also kinda hoping Mingo would take 11, seeing as he was #1 in college it would make sense, and if him and TMJ could end up being our WR combo of the future, them having 88 and 11 would have just looked good out there together I think.

This post is far more emotional than his post. 
 

Odds are you know nothing about him outside of him playing football, and yet you judge his character why?

 

Dude is early 20’s, got hurt, has probably been busting his ass for the past year, and he had a moment.

Yeah, no. I don't subtweet my job. My posting history on here does not affect my work livelihood and I was raised in the internet age to know the difference. Part of making millions should include that nuance IMO. We can all call it a moment and say he made a mistake but deleting the woe is me post doesn't instantly make the mentality that led to it initially not exist--another thing anyone with social media experience knows.

    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
