Thursday Night Preseason Games

Son of a...they just blocked the game all of a sudden. I live in Portland so it's considered "local". That's some B.S.!

I’m just glad we aren’t going to have to deal with questions about who is the starter if Bryce has a rough series or two in his first ever NFL game. 

Exactly. We actually have a staff that is going to let our rookie develop even if he struggles early.

Actually I got confused. It switched to soccer, weirdly. 

[96Bravo]

Yup. They keep breaking transmission for World Cup soccer.

I get the excuses for Stroud, they’re valid. What I don’t get, is how Corral went through the exact same thing last preseason, if not a worse situation (running for his life behind an awful o-line, worst coaching staff in the league, very few offseason reps) and yet a sizable contingent on these boards were pretty unforgiving and wrote him off as clearly not belonging in the league.

It's pretty simple really. It's from fans of qbs the Panthers didn't draft.

Just a catastrophic trade for the Texans. Cardinals about to get the top pick becuase the Texans line is so bad and Stroud isn't ready. What were they thinking

[stratocatter]

No one thought Corral looked good though, even his mother. If people are defensive about someone questioning his performance they maybe aren’t looking at it honestly.  

He’ll have his chance (look at the number of ‘I thought he was out of the league’ QBs still on a roster).
Besides, I have this perverted fantasy that something will happen with Young and Corral gets in and pulls a win out of a lost cause and all of a sudden QB controversy - 3rd round scrub vs #1 golden boy. That would be some solid gold message board entertainment right there, I bet a ton of people would instantly hate him. Or hate themselves for liking him… or something like that.

Not a CJ Stroud fan. I'd say this for any rookie. I believe we have one of the greatest coaching staffs assembled... at least on paper, while CJ is playing for the Texans. He may not be decent until after he leaves that franchise. It's  a swamp.

[96Bravo]

Wow. It's all Drew Lock tonight, it seems. 

[pantherclaw]

Not even going to pretend I give a damn. 

Nope. Not my problem.

That doesn't matter. If you aren't draftable from your prior school, it doesn't matter. 

Brady got drafted my man. Jalen was drafted from OKLAHOMA. Not Bama. 

Just curious, who makes the rules and are they written down somewhere?

[96Bravo]

Well, that was a fun drive.

It'll be a short, but entertaining appearance by Holton. Started with a fumbled snap on the first play but was able to recover it. Had two big scrambles. Then threw a prayer while under pressure that turned into a TD, Thanks to a great play by the receiver Matt Landers. With 2 minutes left, Ahlers is 4-4, 43 yards, TD. 3 rushes for 29 yards.
