Corral looked like Corap!

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.

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

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.

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
