With a name like that, figured you'd be a fan of the other maroon SECw school. Hail State!

Nah, my baby brother is a State graduate. I have to root for them off that alone. 
 

My name is a play on my alma mater, NC A&T.

I see that and get it, but what I see gives a lot of room for optimism...and not the forced kind that I tried to have with Sammy.

If he doesn't pan out, fine....then we swing again. 

Corral is the QB I was hoping for going into the draft, so I was sold on him already. I mean I wanted either Icky or Neal or some top LT because I 1) thought the talent better and 2) thought the need was more important to address, but I would have been ok him getting drafted in the first, especially over the other QB options just based on his potential/ceiling and ability to reach that potential I saw.

I hope he is able to win the starting job outright. I think we will basically know after TC and preseason if he will be a failure. If he can't beat out Darnold(I don't necessarily mean start because Rhule plays favorites), it was a miss. If he wins the job, time to see if he is the real deal.

Interesting thing is they basically have the same amount of time to learn Mcadoo's new playbook, so it's not like Sams coming in with the advantage of 1 year in the system. I'm just speculating and it could go either way, but Corral had pretty limited talent around him last year and only time will tell if the coach tailored all the RPO/QB run things to Corral, or if it was the only way they could win as a whole because those WR"s sucked

Rhule is the real wild card here. Will Rhule trust a rookie over a vet, even if the rookie looks to be better? I don't know. He sure didn't do that last year. 

I fully suspect that regardless of how well Corral does, Rhule won't trust him over Sammy and will be forced to make the change.... probably due to injury.

I suspect the same. I think he likes Sam and is much more attached because that was one of "his" guys versus Teddy who may have been a Hurney guy.

I'm fine with that too. Let Rhule gift us another top 6 pick so we can draft a QB there is no question about being a franchise guy.

That's the point where Rhule gets fired midseason after Tepper gave him this last chance and fixed everything else for him/forced him to give up control and had Fitt solve a bunch of problems

40 pages for a 3rd round QB.  Times are tough in Panther town.

What if we had of drafted Corral in the first? Would you write 40 pages for a first round QB times are good?

We know the Panthers we’re trying to move up into the second and were probably gonna draft Corral in the second but the cost was too high

Yeah, we will definitely know if our rookie QB sucks by preseason.  He starts or he sucks.  Period

WTF

Hopefully Corral shows enough that we don't have to. If we can get 6 games out of him we should be able to get a good idea about him.

Well the ultimate hope is that he smokes Darnold in TC(low bar to hit, I realize) and wins the job decisively. Even if he doesn't play particularly well during the regular season, being definitively better than the worst QB in the league is already a start.

Now the real question is if Rhule will play him until he is forced to even if he does win the job. I have my doubts because Rhule has already shown he would rather stick with an awful veteran player than a rookie.

      Verge, why do you like Mykel Williams?

      No, but considering that over a third (~35%) of their schedule are the other three teams in the NFC South and all three have strong starting (and back-up) RBs that the offense leans heavily on to open up the pass game. ATL: Bijan has this season and next season before the Falcons have to make a decision on his fifth-year option, Tyler Allgeier is a proven back-up RB that could start for some teams, and 2024 sixth-round selection Jase McClellan returns from a knee injury that sidelined him for the remainder of the season starting in early September. Combine that with their QB situation, and that's a team that is going to lean heavily on the run just like they did last season when they were 8th in the league in rushing attempts, 10th in rushing yards, 8th in rushing TDs, 9th in rushing attempts on 1st down, . NO: Similar situation as ATL, but for different reasons. Derek Carr is in the second to last year of his deal and the QBs behind him are Spencer Rattler, Jake Haener, and Ben DiNucci. However, they also have Alvin Kamara. One thing that we know about Kellen Moore from his stints as an OC is that he likes to lean heavily on a versatile RB1 while bringing in an arguably equally versatile RB2 to keep their foot on opposing defenses. When Moore had Zeke in Dallas, Zeke was 4th in the league in touches during those four years but Pollard still averaged 10 touches and nearly 60yds a game. Look for the Saints to shore up their RB room in the draft with Kendre Miller, CEH, Jordan Mims, and Xazavian Valladay all competing for touches behind Kamara. TB: Bucky Irving exploded onto the scene last season, but we can't forget more than capable (now-)RB2 Rachaad White. White is on the last year of his rookie deal, but Irving is under contract until 2028. Last season, the Bucs were 10th in rushing attempts, 4th in rushing yards, 3rd in YPC, 7th in carries of 20+, 8th in carries of 40+, and 7th in first down rushing attempts and that helped Baker Mayfield be one of the most efficient passers in the league with a 71.4% completion percentage (good enough for 2nd in the league).
