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.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
