Corral deserves a fair shot

I don't believe the team has made any concrete decisions about him at this point. Reich said they want to see what they have in him and he will likely get significant playing time in preseason. I take them at their word.

So do people still want to try and trade Corral for a 5th/6th rounder or whatever now that we can carry 3 active qb's on game day? They have to be on the 53 man roster, can't call him up from the practice squad. 

 

I never wanted to trade him. I am a Matt Corral fan. I hope he excels and that he pushes Dalton for the #2 spot.

He's definitely got the most fire out of the three, hopefully with actual coaching he can have Dalton playing that emergency QB role. I'm sure him last year seeing what happened with guys like PJ and Purdy getting starts has him coming into camp with a different mentality than he had last year when he was pissed off he didn't get drafted higher.

    • Coker has certainly earned it. Good for him.
    • I don't think we don't call things aggressively, for a Canales offense, anyway. We don't have a QB who makes aggressive throws nor stresses defenses downfield. He is at a career low on 20+ attempts per game and his career 10-20 QB rating is abysmal.  That will always be a limiting factor IF you are looking for a high flying, downfield offense. I am not even that concerned about it, I just want to see effective offense and we decidedly do not possess that. A large chunk of that is Bryce. I think the second biggest chunk is Canales. All the other components(XL included) are fairly minor in comparison to those two things. I am an advocate of attempting to improve at QB. I am not focused on finding "The QB." We failed at that with Bryce. So let's just get better. If that's a one year vet or a draftee or a cheap trade or some combination of any/all, we should do that. We have to get that QB better. Bryce will fail in 2026 and we need to have REALISTIC options to take over when that happens. That ain't Andy Dalton or Hendon Hooker or Jack Plummer or Mike White or....you get the picture. Be serious about hedging that Bryce bet and not just having to make do if he struggles or gets injured.  My mind is definitely made up on Canales. It's year two and he hasn't improved much, nor do I think the bones of a good HC are there. Ron Rivera got to that point after two seasons and he was open about the changes he had to make and advice he got to make that leap in year 3. If we don't see the same after next year, how is he not just Brian Daboll?
