Corral dropping a dime

He didn't and we moved on. I wasn't mad about that. Corral wasn't it. We're still all in on another one though because of the investment we made.

I'm not upset about it at all either. Just more of a statement about how much QBs actually regressed under Rhule. Rhule was something special, in a necrotic STD sort of way.

Rhule never wanted to develop a young QB. His college teams were always driven but good D and "good enough" offense. They were carried by defense. He wanted to do the same in the NFL. Just give me a vet who can be "good enough" and that'll be good enough. I really don't know how Tepper fell for him. Tepper has been an awful owner but he's right that NFL success comes down to GM, HC, and QB. Everything else is a want, but you NEED those three pieces of you want to consistently compete. He's just absolutely awful at identifying those three pieces.

He never really had a chance under Rhule the fool. There was never any QB development for anyone under that idiot. 

Just think how many Huddlers who would've given up on Peyton Manning after his first season. I can almost see all the premature posts deriding one of the best ever.

This remains such an absurd assertion to make. Rookie Manning threw for 3700 yards and 26 TDs in the tail end of ground-and-pound, mug the receiver, rookie QB sits for a year or more before playing, 1990s football. He threw picks, sure, but he was very obviously an NFL QB most every week. His rookie season is in no way comparable to recent Carolina rookie seasons on the modern NFL.

On topic, that was a hell of a throw. Good for Matt.

If Young would have broken the rookie passing record like Manning we would all be excited.

QBs that throw more INTs than TDs are NOT going to start in this league for any appreciable time. They are going to take the express lane to the bench. 

I KNOW there would've been plenty Huddlers talking poo about Manning. He would not have been welcomed with open arms.

100% this. He at least looked like he had a future in the NFL. Young never did.

    • So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.   
    • My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
