Exactly. 

The goal for Corral should be the same as it should have been last year: he starts the season as #3 on the depth chart and hopefully can work himself up to #2 because the current #2 (assuming that is Dalton) is not going to be here forever.  Corral is on a rookie deal, take advantage of it.

If it works, you might have a decent #2 which is rather important.  Not top 15 starter level, but good enough.  If it doesn't, you are in the same shape you are in if you get rid of him now.

Add the fact that his first year here was a waste to the long list of things The Process screwed up.  Of course, Rhule couldn't have done that last year because that would have put Corral in competition with "OOU" for the #3 slot and besides, he was a red shirt freshman.

I'm not sure why all the angst over that.  Nobody is saying Corral is going to be the starter, unless the two QBs in front of him go down with injury.  That never happens, just ask the 49ers.

 

Yuppers. Way too many folks equate rooting for Corall to mean that they want him over Bryce. That inferiority complex is going to be fun to watch. 

 

How are these folks going to handle the whole NFL world making fun of Bryce? We are going to need a whole lot of xanax for some of these folks.

General thoughts about these players, I don't really give a poo about either one of them past what they can do for the Carolina Panthers.

Willing to not condemn Corral on his on field ineptitude under the circumstances last year. 

I would not get rid of Corral without satisfying myself that he couldn't beat out Young, and depending on how close that was maybe he stays.  

And if I were Corral i know I'd look at that other QB and feel like I was just as good, at least I hope he feels that way.

If things stay the way they are, with only 3 QBs on the roster. It appears that Matt should get ample opportunities to showcase his skillset. That's all any player wants. Give me a chance to show what I can do. Then let the chips fall where they may.

Dalton will not be here forever.  My hopes is that Corral can develop into a good #2.  Will not be this year, but maybe in a couple of years.  Got to try to set up for the future as well.  Corral is on a cheap rookie deal so as long as he shows some potential is a good investment.

This is a very rational post that shows intelligence and a level headed thought process. 
 
Which leads to my question:  Why are you here?  

Seriously, developing  Corral into a solid backup while grooming BY as a franchise QB should not be conflicting initiatives for a competent professional staff. Dalton needs a small amount of time for continuity but there should be some reps for Corral without having to hamper BY’s growth.

The Panthers coaching staff owes no loyalty to Corral and could have easily sent him packing, but they didn't.

If I'm Corral, I'd take that as a positive sign and make the most of the opportunity provided. 

 

 

I'm pretty sure that since the new staff has arrived, Matt is the ONLY one in that building nearly as often as they are. Fitt even made mention of that fact. I believe it is one of the reasons Eason is gone and not Matt. 

 

Now what he does with this opportunity? That's anyone's guess. But knowing his background, I would not count him out.

 

If he can add something to this team, I say, yee fuging haw cowboy. lol

Corral was coming into the NFL with a bad OC who had one of the most complicated offenses in football.  Adjusting to the speed of the NFL is hard enough as it is.  McAdoo's menu sized play calling card made things over complicated which prevents playing fast.  Corral doesn't want to be a backup.  He'll get his shot eventually, here or somewhere else.  We went through 3 QB's last year, if Corral doesn't stink it up in preseason, he'll probably see the field at some point.  That is, if he doesn't get hurt again.

I don't live on "what if's"...

 

What's wrong with me believing BY will live up to the hype?

 

 

Stating BY will be the QB for the next 10 years and everyone else needs to get over it is the definition of living on "what ifs". 

Your belief is based on hope. A hope of what if BY is able to defy all the odds and be an outlier among outlier. What if he is able to take the abuse of the NFL for a decade. What if he is actually able to become a starter for 10 years in the NFL. 

That's a whole lot of what ifs.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
