We dont have a 3rd.  And qb's in the 4rth or later rounds rarely if ever work out.  Might as well use that pick on more line help and target a qb in the top 5 picks next draft.  We cannot keep wasting our picks.

I stand corrected. Once we get down to the fourth round, it's really BPA anyway, isn't it. Still, grab a QB, give him a shot. We're going to need a back-up QB anyway.

Based on what I saw of him, I wouldn't characterize Corral as bad or anything of the sort.

He didn't strike me as anything special, though.

Well, honestly, Scot, did anyone strike you as special? If they did, I don't know it. I mean, you probably bought into the hype of Luck or Lawrence, but I don't remember you going out on any limbs for any QB.

What are the red flags on Matt Corral? Need to know the bad that comes with the good.

He is a hot head. Gets into fights.

Think a mix of Cam Newton, Jeff George, Johnny Manziel, Jim McMahon and Ryan Leaf. This is the demeanor of the QB you want when you take Matt Corral. He will break rules, break laws, break faces with his throwing hand. It's Matty's world and we just live in it.

He obviously has great talent and athleticism. Outside of his flat rocket balls, high throws, and overthrows (similar to Cam's passing style).

He also has a well known injury problem.

Would you want a smaller more fragile version of Cam Newton and his reckless play style when he runs, doesn't protect the ball, and doesn't slide?

If yes, then Corral is your QB.

He has issues through HS and college with authority, drugs, alcohol, and fighting. I don't see him doing well with millions in his bank account and no chaperone (like the one that follows him around at college). Ole Miss did not get Corral because they were his choice. The schools Corral wanted like USC, Georgia, and Florida did their due diligence and passed on him. Corral has not been an easy player for the coaches of Ole Miss to corral during his time at Ole Miss.

In Corral's own words, he has been mad at the world. He believes his words get constantly taken out of context.

Is his 5 star talent and athleticism worth it? I don't see Corral and Rhule mixing well. I don't see Corral getting past 5 years in the NFL, and it won't be due to a lack of ability or athleticism.

In this year's quarterback class? Hell no.

I had concerns about last year's class too. Didn't really want any of them, Lawrence included.

Considering our OL and the NFL in general - you are going to get beat up in the NFL.  Corral has a slight frame and has been hurt a lot.

Then you add in his personality...  Yeah, that's a hard pass here.

Fix the OL.  Then trade up a bounty for a franchise QB.

He is an intriguing prospect but like the other quarterbacks not without those looming question marks. As we get closer I think we have to roll the dice on one of these guys. It’s that or an OT and for the record we are so LT hungry here people have basically bought into a narrative that we won't miss if we take one. And if you don't want a QB in the upcoming draft then don't enter threads about the subject these posts are beyond tiresome.

      CBS Young coming on. Stroud sliding Analysis from Matt Ryan long, runner

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      All QBs have limitations  I guess it becomes how much of the offensive playbook is gutted to accommodate those limitations ..and the world shouldn’t have been given up for a game manager …but, if he can be enough of a game manager for one season, and allow for BPA in this year’s draft, that’s a win to me as the Panthers have so many holes now.  I’m encouraged that Morgan will fill them im also encouraged that Canales will move on from Young if, and when, appropriate…as HC, it’s about more than just his Offensive playbook     I am glad for Young…no harm in being glad for his improvement.  the tale of  his tape is coming with all but one probable playoff team on the schedule i would love to see them move on from Evero…even when he had players, there was always a reason they couldn’t get off the field.  Salah, come on down

      So what's the plan with Moton?

      By Ricky Spanish · Posted

      "Our O-Line is finally good, so we should get rid of the most consistent guy we've ever had at RT and roll the dice on a rookie in the draft because it's cheaper." -Idiots Ever heard the idiom "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"? Moton is a Pro Bowl level Tackle. Extend Moton 3 years with the ability to cut bait at 2 if decline in play happens due to age. Look at drafting a tackle in the mid-rounds who is raw but has potential, and let him learn under Moton for a season or two. If he shows progress and looks like he can be the heir apparent, then move on from either Moton or Icky and have the newest guy slide in to the vacant T spot. If Icky continues to play well (And he has played very well this year, people are being chuds about him based on last year) then extend him too. You can't sit here and bitch about how "We AlWaYs GeT rId Of OuR bEsT pLaYeRs" then turn around and bitch when we extend said best players. Who gives a poo if we have a ton of money tied up in the line? That's where you should invest the team's money. O-Line makes the offense run. Hell, draft an O-Lineman every draft. You can never have too many of them.

      It's not rocket science. We're going the wrong direction and committed recruits are bailing left and right
