Training Camp QB predictions..

[Panthera onca]

No way in Hell does Baker not start from day one. No one, coaches included, wants to see Sam under center for us again.

[Tommy Jone]

Baker has been brought in to start. The FO knows what a distraction he would become if he was forced to be the backup

With a head start on the playbook Sam will begin camp as the #1 and take the symbolic 1st snap.

Does he really have that much of one, though?

Sam has had roughly 12 weeks in the playbook already. We are roughly 6 weeks away from preseason game #2 and 9 weeks away from Week 1.

Assuming both are capable of learning at a similar rate and the offense has done most of its install, Sam already knows what Baker will know by that time.

 

For those interested, Corral has 8-9 weeks in the playbook at this point.

Mayfield's had to learn from four different OCs in his career and still managed to look at least decent doing it.

To be honest though, I feel like the whole "QB competition" thing is just coachspeak anyway.

Rhule will run an NFL two QB system with Baker and Sam splitting snaps.

Rhule is teh genius!

[rippadonn]

Seriously, I hope Sam beats the brakes off of Mayfield.

You know it! Genius!

Corral passing waivers?

Igo, this is the most worried I've been about you smoking some illicit substances. There is no way in the world that Corral is going to be waived!

Yeah... wouldn't put money on either of those things happening.

[Stuart Smith]

I may be alone in my thinking, but if another team has a quarterback go down in trading camp I can see Darnold being moved. This may seem unlikely, Carolina would have to take back a lot of salary. Also, is Sam considered so damaged no one would come calling? I know the “competition in training camp” is being talked up, but I believe Mayfield was brought in to be the starter.

I believe he means putting Corral on the practice squad.  If you want to put a player on the PS, first you have to subject them to the waiver process.  Then, if another team signs said player, I believe they have to keep them on the 53 man roster.

I’ll believe it when I see it.  Rhule has managed everything about the QB position horribly.  I got no faith that changes.  We just pointlessly added Baker.  So I suspect Rhule will continue to make Corral as pointless as possible. 

I think PJ has crazy high odds of being on the practice squad.  Rules allow it now.   Corral is on the regular roster and plays the role of emergency QB most of the season. 

 

Rhules dumb ass might even promote PJ from the practice squad for a game or 2 over playing Corral in an emergency situation.
