Since I didn’t follow Darnold when he was in college, it’s hard to view tape now without bias based on how he has turned out. Essentially, Corral’s tape looks head and shoulders better to me. I know Darnold has 1 1/2-2 inches and 10-15 pounds on Corral, but I don’t see a better QB at the college level. Darnold was younger too. I’m sure that was a factor.

Corrals body type is very similar to Wilson, who you said you would have drafted top 2. So is his size an issue or not?

Yeah it’s unpredictable. The future mystery is always more enticing than the current prospect. There’s always something better. I think right now some of us are caught up on Corral being a 3rd round pick (being compared to Grier for example). There are other factors at play here though. - Not many teams needed a QB - Corral didn’t participate at the combine, and his pro day wasn’t well constructed. - Corral got hurt in his bowl game (even if it was minor). - Other positions were quite strong this year and deep (edge, corner, wr, oline) - Weak QB class narrative was strong. Not just no clear number 1, but not many QB’s period. Like every draft, we will know in a few years. But it is insane to get Corral in the 3rd, and even crazier that Howell fell to the 5th (Regression in play, and to a point, being compared to Baker, who all of a sudden the league thinks is trash, didn’t help him either).

Haha well some of my thoughts: What jumps off the page is the difference in release. Corrals is one of the fastest I’ve seen, and I agree with some who think it might help him to lengthen it a bit. Darnolds swings the ball a yard behind his body on the windup. They both have a great feel for evading pressure and making plays on the run, although Corral is a more natural athlete while Sam is more lumbering, but Sam has more than enough ability to be effective evading pressure. I can see why Sam turned the hall over a lot on college because he kinda was gunslinging it back there. He had balls for sure. I don’t know if it got beaten out of him with the Jets, but it seems like the confidence is shot, but the turnovers are still an issue. You could live with turnovers if the magic stayed, but he seems to play neutered ball now with turnovers from hesitation. He’s definitely in his head now, and thinking instead of playing. I have more thoughts but need to get back to work lol.

I’m curious if anyone else has compared the two this way. I have thoughts but want to know what you all think when comparing the raw prospects. One thing for sure: Darnold doesn’t play with balls anymore like he did at USC.

A year ago “Pass on Fields: tank for Howell/Rattler” was a thing. Now this upcoming class apparently has 5 1st ballot hall of famers in it. No one has a damn clue. Hell last years class was QB rich and they all started their careers looking like ass. Regarding Corral, his footspeed, mobility, throwing angles, release, velocity, short and mid accuracy, pocket movement…he excels at all of this. Does that mean he will pan out? Nope. But talent is there unless you choose not to see it.

If there is value at DT we should try to add a thicc boy.

If you watch enough Corral game tape, Dontario Drummond shines over and over. He timed poorly (4.65 I think) but that time surprised me. He has that thick Deebo build, and his run after the catch is very effective. I’d love a late round flyer on him, or bringing him in as a FA if he goes undrafted.

Of course the Bills.

Well…so much for Cook

Watch this free fall piss off one of these QB’s into an all pro. Which one tho…

See I’m the opppsite. I never want a running QB again. I saw the best and don’t want a “lite” version.

What pick will the Browns give us to take Baker?

He would be perfect to take over CMC’s role inevitably in week 5. Seriously replicating those skills in a backup should be a priority.

He just thicc

I would be fine with any of the QB’s in the 4th tbh. You can live with a 4th that busts. Corral in the 4th is nuts considering his arm and release. Wouldn’t mind Howell as well.

I like his highlight vid. Fun to start there. The full games clip vids? There’s a lot of trouble with those.

After Bridgewater and Darnold, we deserve a Dak Prescott in the 4th.

The top QB this year did lol

Does anyone actually know how fast Willis is? Healthy guys who avoid the 40 probably don’t have top 5 QB speed.

Maybe I am, but I’m not making up fairy tales and revising history to make an argument. Please do move on.

First off he did already in NE. Unless Covid counts. Second you put words in my mouth, I never said that. I simply said I would prefer he get a full off-season with skill players, be able to actually learn the playbook, and to have a regular training camp for the first time since he’s been healthy. But this isn’t going anywhere. You clearly see things differently.

People thought Willis would go top 10 because QB’s get overdrafted due to need. The only hype was some deep balls he threw. It has been clear from the jump that this class is the least hyped and didn’t have a franchise clear cut guy. Put the blunt down.

I’d love to know what I’m assuming. And someone who thinks coming in off the street with 6 games left is ideal in any way probably shouldn’t trust their eyes.
