Former Panthers QB Matt Corral

[Tr3ach]

I guess the real question is, will he be the first one on the field for practice.

I hate how things turned out for him.  Hopefully he can use this as a personal and professional rebound.  Was a nice kid, good story, but just couldn't develop here.  I wish nothing but the best for him (and honestly most NFL players).  I'll look out for him this spring!

Yeah, I hate to be "that guy" but maybe don't draft QBs struggling with mental health issues because playing QB in the NFL is hella fuging stressful. If you have any mental weakness that job is gonna find them.

HC is even more stressful. Are you saying Canales can’t cut it either due to his past?

Not convinced he would have been as unwatchable as Bryce this season.

Seems like he went through something, hopefully he found peace in his life.

And someone mentioned Sam, Baker and Teddy. All of whom are/were better than BY9.

And, on another note, I actually have more fun watching UFL (XFL last year) than the NFL.

I'll second this. But a lot of that has to do with watching the DC Defenders, who I sincerely think could have beaten the 2023 Panthers.

But related to Corral, I think the UFL ideal for players like Corral. Never really got the opportunity to prove themselves, no tape, ended up in a bad situation on a bad team. If Corral puts on a decent show in the UFL it might get him invited back to an NFL training camp.

I'll never say that someone who failed to shine as a Panther in the Rhule/Fitterer regime is a provably bust.

Honestly I don't think he got a fair start to his career being drafted by Matt Rhule and Scott Fitterer. No ill will toward him hopefully he gets his life on track.

I mean, doesn't seem to be something that has bothered this org.  Because they did it with the next QB after him too.

Poor guy. Still rooting for him

[Johnstonny]

Poor Matt. He, like us fans, had dreams and high hopes.... didnt have a clue we were walking into a shitstorm.... wish the kid the best.

Should have gave him a shot Panthers would have won just as many games(if not more with a real WR #1) and still have the #1 pick... 

Wasted 2 draft picks on a guy you never got to see in a real game.

It's an opportunity. That's good for him. I hope that he makes the most of it. He may find himself back in the big league one day.

At least Corral would've been throwing to a receiver that he was very familiar with. Mingo probably would've put up more than 500 yards as well.
