Matt Corral is a decent prospect with upside. Ok, he’s not seen as a generational passer, but there’s talent there to work with. Maybe he can be our Dak Prescott?

It would be nice to think we get a legitimate starting QB on a third round pay scale.

Hopefully there is an open competition this off season and Corral can beat out Darnold for the starting job, or he can light a fire under Darnold’s backside to make him play better.

I'm glad you made me wrong and stuck around. Sadly, I don't think it is going to go well for you.

Welcome to Jets 2.0.

LOL!   I know I shouldn't laugh but I guess I'm laughing at the absurdity of it all.

Game winner against Arkansas...he scans the field patiently despite pressure and throws a nice pass to the wide open guy for the winning TD

I also look at the rest of the vid.   He seems to be adept at the short passes and he's definitely waaaaay more accurate at the Deep Ball than Sam Delusional.   

Only saw a handful of medium-range throws there, though.

And his propensity for running(which he's pretty good at)...well...somebody should give him the video of Sam getting decapitated straight into oblivion..as sort of a pick-your-spots advice.   Just saying...

It's really difficult to be worse. Darnold is a natural panicker and I don't think that can be fixed.

No it can't.   I bet he was a panicker in College, too.

It's not like he's some Will Grier scrub.

No I agree.  And it’s not a bad pick.  Don’t get me wrong I’m happy we took him.  I like the pick.

Im more remarking at the “er muh gerd he’s gunna bust” crowd.

If he contributes positively in anyway it’s a win.

Based on the vid, he's already better than Sam Delusional so it's a win from the start.

This is how the kids feel, Tepper knows it

Can't blame him.

I'd boo Sam Delusional as well.

He also must've read/heard about the Podcast (and what he said) he was on like I have.

true. at the very least he gives us a better backup option than we've had since DA. 

I think just because of having CMC healthy (for a while) and an upgraded OL, sammy will look better. hopefully not enough to justify rhule keeping Corral on the sidelines. I just don't trust Rhule and if Corral doesn't get a shot in play time, I'm not going to necessarily hold it against Corral. 

I'm hoping that Corral just blows the doors off in TC. Sammy's problem, though, isn't exactly practicing. It's what happens when the pressure is on in games when live bullets are flying.

Unfortunately, what is good for Sam, what is good for Rhule and what is good for the Panthers are all completely different answers.

Which is really going to make it difficult to find out what we've got in Corral.

I've been doing a deep dive into Corral all weekend reviewing scouting reports and film studies on him. 

The potential is there. His quick release and arm strength are definitely NFL caliber, and he is fearless standing in the pocket. 

However the more I see the more I notice his lack of consistency throwing mid/deep. He is definitely best suited for a WC/horizontal style offense built around quick reads and getting the ball into playmaker's hands quickly. 

He does not see the whole field well and comes off receivers too early too often. A lot of the time If they aren't open when he sees them, he will look off them even if they are about to clear a zone/can be thrown open if he throws to a spot. That is concerning, but can he learn to make those reads and how quickly can he do it? How much of that was Kiffin's scheme where he was throwing to a guy no matter what?

Overall, he was drafted about where he should have been. I'm less high on him as I was on Friday, and don't anticipate him beating Sam out in TC. He's a work in progress definitely.

Hoping for the best but prepared to have a backup QB for the next 4 years.

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.

 

Well.  We get to enjoy this for the next couple years.

Trying to analyze this team at all will be a nightmare.  Unless there is enough good coaching on the staff now to mitigate Rhule's dumbass.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
