Corral deserves a fair shot

What do you think of in terms if reps when you say give him an opportunity to compete? I would hate to take reps away from Young, so I’m curious what you think it would look like?

Ummm, enough to at least develop him some in order to have a future backup QB or would you prefer if Bryce ever goes down that we just throw someone into the fire that has never even had any practice reps at all?

I'm not saying MC is the future. But not giving him an opportunity to compete is downright foolish. I think we just look at things differently and that's OK. 1st or 250th, draft position doesn't matter, only results.  You start the guy who gives you the best opportunity to win, no matter where he was drafted. 

And FYI, I don't think MC beats out BY. My hope is we develop him and he shows off enough to be able to trade him like NE with Jimmy G. I don't think he will accept a backup role if he proves to be a decent starter, whether by injury or playing when the game is out of reach. 

I noticed most of the ones who think even giving Corral a shot to develop into a backup in this thread have some sensitive little threatened feelings. For some reason trying to develop Corral into a backup or great trade bait unfortunately is like 3D chess to them. Mostly though they think somehow if any other QB is developed that it means hating on Bryce Young and is a whole Cam Newton situation over again like how Cam had haters for no reason. They are too stupid to realize Bryce is the number one guy and will be moving forward but Corral needs to be developed into a backup or trade bait and not just given his walking papers because they are scared of having another younger QB on the roster for fear it will be another Cam getting hate situation all over again. I mean, we should just talk about the elephant in the room instead of tiptoeing around it. Nobody is stupid here and does not see the narrative they are trying to paint.

I agree with this. It sounded like some folks wanted a 50/50 competition straight up, but I might have misread the comments.

BY should get the majority to start camp, if he's ready to take them, which he should be. AD and MC should split what's left. I would think something like a 65/15(AD)/20(MC) split. Depending on how they respond and progress or regress, adjust accordingly. Rinse and repeat. 

Makes sense. Also, it’s been stated that Dalton doesn’t need that many reps which could potentially shift work to Corrals advantage if he shows progress.  I think BY is first priority and rightfully so, but I don’t think Corral will be an afterthought if he shows promise.

I think the pecking order should be fairly obvious.  Young,  Dalton, and Corral. 

During preseason, Corral should get more play time than Dalton, simply to see if he has anything. 

I don't expect him to beat out Dalton on the depth chart, and nor should he. Dalton is a good QB, and more than good QB2.

How we gonna develop him on the bench?

 

In order for him to get value he has to play games. I think the best way for him to show value is playing in the preseason. We already know what we have in Dalton. Young will get limited playing time as well because he's the starter most likely. Let Corral run the show in the preseason and go from there. If he shows something he might be worth keeping as a backup.

 

People have been trying to tell you this for 2 days. Now, all of a sudden, you are wanting to join in. lol

 

Nobody is proclaiming Matt the starter. All we want is for him to get some solid coaching, which he should get here. Then let the chips fall where they may. 

 

If he becomes an asset? That makes us a better team, and there Will be great rejoicing. And who doesn't love themselves some great rejoicing?

Got the wrong D.

 

Andy Dalton!

You referred to that other "D" QB several times.  Each time my heart skipped a couple of beats and my chest tightened.  Given my family's history of hearts attacking them, that was not nice.

What the heck did I ever do to you? 

And for the denser of our membership, yes, this is all tongue-in-cheek.

As much of a potential mentor as Andy Dalton could be, I think we've got the coaching to negate the need for that aspect in a player. If Corral shows enough promise, I'd much rather dump Dalton and keep the young guy if we only roll with two QBs. I think BY has enough maturity and learning capacity that we won't really being hurt by going with two young QBs.

I been saying this from the start, you just seem to focus on me being a "Brycer". Pay attention and what I said still stands Bryce Young is the present and future of this team.

 

It hurts you when I say that huh?

 

Sure you have. lol

The thing is; Coaches only get so much time with the team. It's the Vet QB that shows the rook the ropes of being a QB. The ins and outs, and the nuances of leading a team. How to study, and how to take care of yourself. And so much more.

 

That Vet QB spends a heck of a lot more time with the Rook than any Coach. And Andy is considered one of the good ones.

We might roll with 3 QBs. Niners did, Eagles did, Steelers just extended Mitch and Mason with Pickett. With 17 game seasons more teams will roll with 3 QBs. We will probably have Young, Dalton, and Corral.

I think they NFL should allow teams to carry 3 QBs and not have the 3rd one count against the 53 man roster.

    • Here’s a summary of the JJ and Luke podcast transcript. Opening / Bryce Young Fifth-Year Option     •    JJ: Breaking news — Panthers picked up Bryce Young’s fifth-year option at $25.9M, guaranteed, coming in 2027. Combined with his 2025 salary of ~$6M, that’s $31M over two years — called it a “no-brainer.”     •    Luke: Enthusiastic about the move. Highlighted Bryce’s improving TD/INT ratios (11/10 → 15/9 → 23/11) and the value of entering year three with Dave Canales. Noted $25M is a bargain relative to the $60M top of market. Luke’s Personal Update — Charlotte Christian Football     •    Luke: Working with Charlotte Christian school football program, which hired a new head coach. Coaches include Greg Olsen, Luke, and Greg’s dad Chris Olsen (a New Jersey State coaching Hall of Famer).     •    JJ: Jokingly quipped that Charlotte Christian’s coaching staff is “the world’s greatest” — a Fox analyst, a Hall of Famer, and the best Panthers RB ever — all coaching middle school football.     •    Luke: Praised Chris Olsen’s deep football knowledge spanning decades and his ability to connect with kids. Round 1, Pick 19 — Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia     •    JJ: Panthers were on the clock and submitted their pick almost immediately — a sign of confidence and preparation. Freeling is 6’7”, 320 lbs, played in the SEC in a pro-style system.     •    Luke: Loved the pick. Emphasized you can never have too many quality offensive linemen. Noted Freeling’s size, athleticism, and arm length as key traits. Said the pick also reflects team’s philosophy of drafting great people, not just great players.     •    JJ: Noted reporter Darren Gantt compared Freeling favorably to Jordan Gross — bigger, heavier, and faster — as a potential franchise left tackle.     •    Luke: Pointed out that young players like Freeling still have physical development ahead of them, comparing the trajectory to Christian McCaffrey’s growth from age 20 onward. Round 2, Pick 49 — Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech     •    JJ: Panthers traded up from 51 to 49 (pick swap with Minnesota) to grab Hunter. Played audio from Panthers area scout Kaden McLuhan, who scouted Hunter.     •    Scout Kaden McLuhan (audio): Said Hunter’s size is immediately striking, and that everyone around him spoke glowingly about his character, energy, and love for the game.     •    Luke: Praised Hunter as a massive (6’3”, 320 lbs, ~34” arms) two-gap nose tackle who fits perfectly in the Evero defense. Compared his prospect profile to Akiem Hicks. Said having Derek Brown, Bobby Brown, Derrick Brown, Terson Wharton, and now Hunter creates varied body types that stress offensive linemen.     •    JJ: Noted Hunter ranked third among all prospects in run-stuff rate and sixth in interior pass-rush win rate — addressing a perception that he couldn’t rush the passer. Rounds 3–7 Highlights     •    Luke: Highlighted WR Brazle (3rd round, 6’4”, 437 speed, 1,000+ yards at Tennessee) as the vertical threat the offense needed. Also praised OL Sam Heck (5th round) as a technically sound player whose “short arms” caused him to fall but who has proven himself.     •    Luke: Mentioned CB Will Lee (6’1”, 33” arms) fits the Panthers’ DB prototype — big, long corners.     •    Luke: Praised S/LB hybrid Zaki Wheatley (5th round, 6’3”) as a big nickel similar to Trayvon Merek.     •    Luke: Excited about the linebacker competition between Devin Lloyd, Trevvin Wallace, and Claudin Cherless.     •    JJ: Noted Panthers had the #1 “steal/overreach” rating in the entire draft — drafting players lower than consensus big boards projected. Around the League     •    Luke: Admitted being “a little jealous” that the Miami Dolphins drafted LB Jacob Rodriguez (Luke’s favorite LB in the draft). Has personal connections to Miami’s coaching staff (Jeff Hafley, DC Shawn Dugen — a childhood teammate).     •    Luke: Also noted Miami’s selection of OT/G Kaden Proctor out of Alabama, who will likely move to guard. League Trends — Bigger Tight Ends / 12 & 13 Personnel     •    JJ: Observed the NFL saw its highest run rate in ~11 years (~52%) and a notable pivot toward big blocking tight ends in this draft.     •    Luke: Explained the cyclical nature of NFL offense/defense evolution — as defenses get smaller to match spread offenses, teams counter with bigger personnel (12/13 formations), which then forces defenses to get bigger at the nickel/“big nickel” spot. Called it an ongoing arms race.
