I think any offer for him would be a sign of insanity and/or extreme desperation.

Add stupidity to that list (and that is not a dig on Corral).  But we see teams make moves out of insanity, stupidity, desperation, arrogance, or some combination on a pretty regular basis.

Do I think anybody is going to offer us more than a seventh round pick for him, if even that?  No? 

Would I be surprised if somebody did?  Not really.  The quote attributed to PT Barnum (probably falsely) is true.  In fact, it may be optimistic.  Unfortunately, too often that sucker or fool has been us.

I think we could get a late round pick potentially from a team that was interested in him during his draft year.  I mean, he got hurt last preseason so his stock really hasn't changed that much.  And I would suspect teams know that neither Rhule or Frank has really done anything with him.  Frank rightfully focused on Young and before his injury it was pretty documented Rhule's time was on his bad vets. 

Corral likely wants out.  I'd take a 7th rounder for him.

It’s hard to comprehend how passionately some fans are against a player who ultimately would be a 3rd string developmental guy. 
 

Why would these people be happier if we went Young/Dalton vs. Young/Dalton/Corral?

 

Are you guys passionate about keeping a 5th TE?

 

Do you think him being around hurts Young?

 

Educate me outside of “he sucks” please. Even if I agreed that “he’s trash” (it’s too early to say imo), why does it matter to you if we keep a “trash” QB in the 3rd spot? 
 

We’ve done it before and I don’t recall this level of animosity. 

They dump on Corral, but don't you dare question the Young pick.

Well the most recent high profile trade up for a QB has failed now that Trey Lance is likely gone. Time will tell if we are in the same boat three years from now. May as well hold onto Corral and see what he can become.

Imagine if the Packers had offloaded Jordan Love when he looked like hot garbage his first two off-seasons. Where would they be? Purgatory. Now, to my untrained eye, they look like a darkhorse to win the NFC North.

Corral is also a victim of circumstance. Panthers traded up to get him, passing on a QB that a lot of Panthers fans are very familiar with and had a great scouting report on in Sam Howell. If Howell wasn’t available I think a lot of fans around here would still say MC blows mountain goat but the resentment  might not be there.

Its because of he and Young being close in age and experience. They see him as a threat if kept around and Young performs poorly for a little stretch. I see it as Young's team and his job to lose over the course of a couple seasons but they are so blinded in their worry and hatred of Corral that they worry if he remains on the team and develops that Young's job could be threatened one day. If we had both of them for say three seasons and Corral had to come in for Young due to injury and played better consistently time after time or looked like he had developed more and had more of a future I guess I would go with the guy I felt was better suited for the long run. That's no knock on Young as I feel he is far and away the future and think he seems like a truly mature great leader but if Young played bad and was injured for three seasons while Corral stayed healthy and showed to be a force I would have course give the job to Corral as its just smart business but some fans get sop emotionally involved that they cant have it any other way but their own.

Yeah I don’t think anyone actually believes Corral has a snowball’s chance in hell of taking the job from Young. That’s a big stretch.

It's not a stretch. It's just not going to happen. Tepper is too involved in Front Office and roster decisions, in my opinion. Then you have the economics of the situation. Then you have the fact that Corral just hasn't had the reps. I'd guess that Bryce has already had more reps in one off-season than Corral got in two. 

That said, you keep him as a third unless you're keeping five running backs, which judging by Sander's injury history, I'd say is a good idea.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
