Not enough receptions to go around, we’ll be a run based offense and probably need TE’s to block more than catch. I am fine sticking with our current options.

This is what I expected when we drafted Corral, or at least something half way there, not a complete dismissal of his development Look at how the Falcons coach talks about Ritter “A lot of lessons learned and I got high expectations for Desmond. So, we’re gonna be hard on Desmond because he’s a good player and he can take that kind of coaching. He understands we’re not waiting on him as a rookie. Like, we’re trying to speed him up. So, he made some good throws. There’s some things he’s got to clean up, especially in the operation.” https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/08/23/arthur-smith-were-going-to-be-hard-on-desmond-ridder-because-he-can-take-the-coaching/

It’s only preseason but this hurts my soul Highest QB Rating among rookies this preseason Kenny Pickett 138.6 Skylar Thompson 121.3 Desmond Ridder 98.0 Brock Purdy 86.0 Malik Willis 80.5 Bailey Zappe 72.1 Sam Howell 69.1 Matt Corral 49.3

As a reminder, Simms had him as the top QB in the draft. Can’t really disagree with this, especially more reps 🫤 Thanks, Rhule

He could get charged with Manslaughter or even Murder in the second degree

For the record, I was saying “Rhule ruined him” half way jokingly because surely he must have screwed this up too since he underperformed last year, not just health wise. The offense did not get the best out of our receivers and certainly wasn’t a good environment to develop a young rookie.

Fair point, he was known to be injury prone. Sometimes the best ability is availability

He was making plays earlier this training camp before getting injured.

I didn’t say this was officially reported, thus the ? In the title . If you guys think only “confirmed” reports are worth discussing then the Huddle isn’t for you. This is a place where rumors can be discussed no matter how believable they are, and this one has a strong chance of being true. Also, if teams are calling about TMJ you better believe the FO put feelers out there that he may be available for trade.

I really had high hopes for this guy but Rhule ruined him. Watch him ball out somewhere else

My biggest fear is that the used car salesman, aka Matt Rhule, does just enough each year to keep from getting fired causing us to be stuck in endless purgatory. His treatment of Corral, blind allegiance to Temple or Baylor players, stubbornness and egotistical behavior will set this franchise back another decade id we don’t change course very quickly. I will never root for this team to fail but I will hope that Tepper will cut his losses and refuse to accept this clown head coaching behavior that is holding this roster back. Fitt is doing a decent job drafting and signing free agents. I believe this roster will never achieve its potential with Rhule at the helm.

Not if Baker and Sam aren’t playing. I am specifically referring to last night’s game. He should have started ahead of PJ to get the reps

And the injury is on Rhule, putting him behind third stringer OL. Matt should have played first and second quarter and call it a night behind our second stringers

No because they still have Matt Rhule as their coach

Same as I have, that Corrall showed flashes of ability and will be good if given reps and opportunities

Why aren’t we hearing what do Xrays indicate? It literally takes 15 minutes

I truly think Tepper will wait until the end of the season. If the team finishes trending upward (even if they don’t make playoffs) Rhule will be retained. If they look worse as a team and don’t show progress then he will be fired.

You brought up the “throwing while being sacked” as indicating that he doesn’t have it. It’s only logical that we would point out the fallacy because almost every franchise QB has done that on occasion.

He looks like a manchild with his oversized head on that body

Haha you sound ridiculous. Basing your entire projection on one play. Cam did that crap many times.

I would trust him more in a live game than Sam Darnold. At least the kid isn’t afraid to stand in the pocket

Howell is the Mac Jones of this draft. He will be better out of the gate but Corrall has a higher ceiling if he can get the right coaching

Oh yes the preseason. I remember Ryan Leaf looked better than Peyton Manning in the preseason.

And you’d have a point if every other rookie wasn’t getting more and better quality reps

I hate Matt Rhule
