Kinda excited to see Corral/CMC run the RPO

Brilliant move.  Corral has some overblown "character issues" and his size is not ideal but his ceiling is high.  I'm just glad we didn't pass on Ikem for Kenny Pickett.

Lmao do we really have someone in here saying Corral doesn’t have an elite arm?

Kid has a rocket launcher for an arm. Can throw from all angles and off platform.

Good lord

Who???

Im refusing to feed negative energy.

6 months of crying and panthers add potential solutions to two of most valuable positions?  

You negative fugs can eat a bag of dicks.

Yeah good point. I think we cater an offense to fit his strengths. McAdoo likes the WCO. So I can see a lot of quick reads/passes with a few RPOs mixed in there. I would not want him running too much either as he doesn’t have the frame of a Josh Allen or Cam Newton. 

So this may get hate.. but I actually think Joe Brady could have done well with Corral. We saw what he was trying to do with Darnold but I just don’t think Darnold had the mental makeup to run Brady’s offense… I think Corral maybe could have.

McAdoo has had success developing QB’s so I hope they focus on really turning Corral into a pro style QB. He gives you a lot to work with: solid arm, great pocket awareness, very mobile, good footwork. That’s enough to work with. Up to the coaching staff to teach and Corral to learn.

What I’m concerned about is Rhule coming out in the future and saying something like… 50% our plays are going to be RPO’s now because we have Corral. I’m not sold on that working at the NFL level for Corral simply because the guys who are doing it well at the NFL level are built different.

Part of Darnold's problem was he would have a target open and wouldn't read it fast enough.  This kid has a quick trigger and I don't think we are going to have that problem.  He might have a terrible year in his first year under center but most QBs do.

Most QBs have one or two concerns about them.  Very few are perfect coming out of college.  I just believe everyone should sit back and, at minimum, watch a couple of practices or preseason games before anointing him the 2nd coming or a complete bust.

I think that is fair, very few QBs have those three's kind of arm talent, but I don't think that is the end all be all. Jay Cutler had the cannon of cannon and had a mediocre career, while Matt Ryan won and MVP and almost a super bowl with neither. 

I am not trying to endorse him, but I do have hope for him and think he can plan out to something. If he doesn't, that is fine. If we are in a position next year to take a top 2 QB off the board then we will regardless I think.

I think we all have hope for him. My hope isn’t diminished by the fact that I have concerns. I hope like hell this kid succeeds. I’m tired of August through January being devoid of anything that resembles fun surrounding the game of football.

True that, I need some January drama in my life.

I just hope they don’t beat around the bush. Let’s put him out there and see if there’s potential. No more wasted time on this Darnold circus.

Define competitive, Cam was competitive last year just not very good.

Yeah, I should have said aside from Cam's little stint for clarity.

Yeah you can tell who has never watched Corral play. He is an excellent athlete.

Athlete. YES

Passer. YES

Clutch. YES

He doesn't show the leadership qualities to command a championship team. Easily antagonized and cocky. Not good at sitting and learning. 

Personality wise (using Panthers comps) he is a cross between Steve Smith, Rae Carruth, and Greg Hardy.

Anger management issues, narcissistic, resistant to authority figures, highly competitive, dominant when winning, destructive when losing, and business/self-interest minded. He will succeed in a player led culture that allows for freedom of expression, lack of structure, and loose discipline. Bret Michaels management team and Corral's Mom control his image/PR.

He is in a relationship with Raine Michaels

Bret Michaels and David Tepper have a relationship going back to their days with the Steelers.

This is a David Tepper pick.

He will need a couple handlers early in his career.

I don't think we are going to have that problem.  I believe he is going to come in and beat Darnold for the job.  His quick decision making is going to be the difference maker.

Yeah, Corral is a Panther and its hard not get excited about his talent level.  Getting him late 3rd is amazing 

People complain about his size but he measured 6’2 212 at the combine which is fine.  Praying he works as hard as advertised cuz he could be crazy exciting to watch in this offense

WRONG.

Leadership is one of his best qualities. Ask anyone who has played with him.
