Panthers trying to trade Corral?

Or a Raidah. 
I think the only shot at Corral having value of any kind right now, is maybe there is someone that really liked him as a project but the  Panthes beat them to him . We probably know who it could be, since we had to trade in front of them. 
 

I think Chinn is the more realistic chip from tne trading chips stack, because he is an established talent that may be without a home in a new scheme.

Plus, I forget who but just in the last day or two, a paid observer referred to him as the (big?) nickle back “right now”.
That “right now”, stood out. 
Said as if they knew something might be in the wind?

To me this looks like speculation.  No where has it ever been mentioned about us looking to trade Corral.  

IMO trading Corral is a bad idea. 

1 we wouldn't get much more than a 5th or 6th rounder out of him because he doesn't have much tape. 

2. He's going to be a good QB once he gets some experience.

3. Dalton is old and injury prone.

4. It's too early to know if Young is going to survive the NFL.  One or two nasty hits could be a problem and if we let Corral go we are right back where we started.

Need to keep Corral, he's essentially our Kirk Cousins just taken a year earlier.  Nobody is going to give us anything great for him right now, might as well keep him as an upside project in case Bryce's size causes injury problems.

Either Bryce stays healthy, Corral stays on our bench for 2 more years, and we miss out on the 4th or 5th round pick that we MIGHT have been able to get for him now.

Or Bryce gets hurt and Corral becomes a legit player for us like Cousins did once RG3 went down.

Third option would be like Jimmy G and we end up being able to trade him later for a decent pick because he played a little and looked good.

Either way, for what we'd get for him now, I think keeping him for any of the above reasons makes the most sense at the moment.

IMO this helps having Corral around.  Young size is and always will be a concern.  There isn't a LB or DE in this league that isn't going to miss a shot at lighting him up because he a smaller QB. 

The Kirk Cousin comparison is a good one.  I think given reps Corral is going to be a solid backup and possible start one day. Whether with the Panthers or someone else.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
