Corral looked like Corap!

[Cam Lawter]

Dalton did not look like a .500 quarterback.  I would rather lose with Corral than Dalton because  Dalton has nothing left to learn. He just sucks and we are paying him 10 million to give Bryce motivational speeches.

Fair.

Thing is though, he's not necessarily on a team that has time to develop a rookie because they're gonna be busy developing that other rookie.

He’s worth keeping around for the season but he’s a QB that needs reps. The NFL as a whole needs a protected farm system.

People have been making that argument for years.

Didn’t have a good game regarding ball placement, but he made a lot of good decisions with the ball, and didn’t turn it over. He led an inefficient TD drive, but it was a TD drive nonetheless, and he showed his running ability. 
 

I still like what I see enough for him to be considered to develop as a backup. Dalton makes me feel that way even more. 

That's fair. That's why I can't say he's getting cut with any surety. I was fairly certain that he would be the emergency QB until last night's performance, but that could still be the plan.

There are better backup options out there and always will be.

Which is exactly what I was thinking. There certainly are guys that are more ready to play right now (like...nah, I'm not gonna say it), but the question is whether Corral's youth and potential will trump another possible backup's experience and ability to perform better at this moment.

In the NFL there are always backup QBs available that have significant starting experience. Corral isn’t ever going to have that.

We have had a lot of those long development project guys and we have never had one actually develop(at QB).

Is it worth investing multiple years and a roster spot to develop a solid 3rd string NfL QB? Or could you just sign one of those every year?

I will take the latter option 

Who else are you giving his roster spot to? A crappy WR / CB who could play STs if required?

Well thats the question.   How much better is corral vs some other rando PS qb vs a guy that can at least play on special teams or be depth to a crap unit like the wr or corners?

 

I guess we will find out how fitt/reich look at it in a couple days.  I just truly dont see any value of keeping MC on the 53.  Try and stash him if you can and if not oh well its Youngs team anyway

That's a mighty big crystal ball you have there.

Corral was pretty nonplussed when we drafted Young. His performance this preseason should tell him without a doubt that he's not ready. He should know that he's going to have to have to learn more and dig deeper to become proficient in this league. He should really welcome more time to improve because that's all he has really earned this preseason.

He will have to do this season.  If they get a chance to upgrade they will.  Until then he is a 3rd round project until he's replaced or he improves 

Depends. We may decide to keep Luton or sign someone else. Or maybe we just have two? We will see.

TBH, not sure. 

I don't so much care about this season but if he isn't gonna develop over this season, I don't see a reason to keep him around.

Well, I guess that isn't happening in that case.

You mean on the PS? Luton has been cut.
