Corral heading to IR

[WOW!!]

Actually I didn't have any delusions of grandeur for Corral. It wouldnt matter if you inserted Pickett, Howell, Zappe, Willis or any other QB that we traded up into the 3rd to acquire.

My issue has always been how Matt Rhule has been incompetent, and that's being very generous, with regard to the QB position of this franchise since his arrival.

Teddy was never a franchise QB. But we signed him to a ridiculous contract based on backup level performance only to eat his contract and trade him a year later. 

Then we bring in THE Sam Darnold barely watching any game tape on him. Trade a 2nd, 4th, and 6th for a QB no one else wanted. Didn't play him in preseason. A couple wins, barely against the Jets starting a rookie QB, barely against  a mid round rookie qb in his first NFL game, and a win against NO missing half their coaching staff because of covid. Then he got to some real NFL competition and it all fell apart. Shocker. We will ignore the 5th year extension. 

PJ is PJ. He's here because of where he went to school. There's 20 other PJs out there. That's just the cold hard truth. 

So we bring in a busted Cam, start him with no preparation, and expect what? We continue losing. But Cam did bring some energy, so naturally we benched him for Darnold. 

Then there's Watson and that debacle. It's not like Sam didn't know he was out as starter. But then Watson didn't want us, thankfully, which caused a poo show in Cleveland causing friction so...

Now we have Baker as our starter. Well, not officially because it's still a competition with a guy we tried to replace TWICE this off-season. And of course we still have PJ who brings, whatever he brings to Rhule to still be on the roster. 

And we have Corral. A QB we traded up into the 3rd to get. We need to develop him. We needed a plan that goes beyond this season. He needed the reps in preseason and camp because if he doesn't get them, it delays his development. Sam is gone after this season, and PJ likely was at the end of camp before Corral's injury. 2 guys who shouldn't be here at the beginning of next year. If Baker gets hurt, our season is done. Sam and PJ aren't taking you to a wild card or a division title. Redshirt him during the season if you feel the need. But when it mattered, for the future of his development and the only QB under contract beyond this season it was important to get more than 3 snaps in practice and some mental reps. 

Rhule is all about the win now mentality. It reeks of desperation because if he doesn't win, he's done. At least most other owners would fire him, maybe not Tepper. 

My biggest fear, and expectation, is we're going to be headed into next season with a new coach, new staff, no experience in our QB room, looking like an expansion team trying to figure out how to find a QB. 

I'm not saying playing Corral would have fixed all that and somehow made everything better and been our Russell Wilson. But it would have shown some forethought and planning for the future. But we don't do that here. 

So again you're a "I don't like Rhule so no matter what moves he makes it won't work"

Got it and understandable..

[WOW!!]

Seriously @mrcompletely11..

You honestly think that Matt C was the next Russell Wilson and are disappointed he didn't get a chance at 1st team.. right??

[Proudiddy]

This honestly stinks.  He looked bad, but again, I don't think he was ever given a chance by Rhule, and this ultimately feels like Rhule won.  There definitely is something going on between Rhule and Fitt, and this feels like Rhule won off some bullshit.  He gets to keep his beloved PJ and Darnold and never has to even try to help or develop Corral, which is what he intended all along. 

So glad we got Baker though.  There's no denying he's the best QB on the roster, and I'm still excited about where he can take us if Rhule keeps his dumbass out of the way.

No I don't think it's good he got hurt at all..

Especially for him..

The team I don't know if it affects this season  much..

Yeah, for sure. He wwasn't going to play much, if at all, this year.  And if he was playing, we were not going to be in a good position.

But it undeniably will slow his development.  Ah well.  He was already a long shot, despite the FO rhetoric.

Honestly it's the best case scenario 

Agreed.  When he got hurt last night I had no doubt in my mind he’d wind up on IR regardless of the injury.  Let him develop and we can keep PJ as 3rd string.

He cannot develop on ir.   His career with the panthers is more then likely over.

The curse of Sam Howell strikes again

He is under contract.  He should fully recover.  So why would you think his career is over.

Yeah I mean he's here for another three years minimum after this one even under a potentially new coaching staff unless they decide to cut him.

When he does something worth getting excited over, I'll get excited. 

As long as he keeps making boneheaded moves, I'll keep saying he's not an NFL caliber coach and never has been. And there has been no shortage of them because I even when so far as to list 15 of them in another thread that the Huddle called moronic when they happened, and were right. I could have listed more, but it really didn't feel necessary to just keep piling on.

I'll rephrase.  His career as a starter here is more then likely kaput
