Corral to IR is a good thing….

[PleaseCutStewart]

It's a good thing because he won't be forced to play with the 4th/5th stringers and be decapitated by free rushers...

He was put in a position to fail day 1 of training camp by rhule. We saw how good PJ looked with these same bums around him... Aka, not good.

That was probably going to happen anyway if he didn't get injured..

The only scenario where we wouldn’t draft a QB would be one where Baker lights it up and gets an extension. If Baker struggles we probably have a bad record and Rhule could be fired. New coach drafts his guy and Corral competes with the rookie (probably won’t beat out a first round pick IMO).

this is not a good thing - as a 3rd rounder he had an uphill battle to even make it as a backup. A significant injury makes that even less likely.

Our FO gave him a first round grade. Don't gloss over that fact.

He'll get his chance next year with our new coach, but that's because he was a 3rd rounder, not because of whatever grade he had. 

It wasn't like he showed anything at all this preseason - which probably was on Rhule's shitty player development.

Live reps help more than sitting back and watching.

This injury might be a career changer for Corral, If we do suck that means Rhule is fired Baker and Sam are gone and we end up picking a QB next year. if we end up with a good record there’s not a chance in hell they let go of Baker for Corral coming off an injury. It’s a bad situation for Corral all around

They were talking out their ass to make Corral feel better.  He is not a 1st round talent and you know it. I like him as well as the rest of you guys but I know he's not and so does everyone else. 

I had hope just like everyone else that he might defy the odds and make an impact here but he is just not an impact player.  He may become one and would have had a better shot had he not gotten hurt.  This injury means he has lost any shot at being the first in line as backup much less starter.

Corral will most likely have a Heinicke type of career.

No new coach is taking the job without assurances that they can pick a new qb in the first.   Nobody is taking the job thinking they have to win with corral

Can we send Rhule to IR?

[LinvilleGorge]

He was already basically going to get a redshirt year. Missing a year of practice is definitely NOT a good thing. The kid needed the reps, even if he was just running the practice team.

This. No one is tying a new coach to a 3rd rounder coming off of an entire season on IR. If Rhule is retained, it probably means Mayfield earned an extension. If Rhule gets fired the new staff is going to want a shiny new QB of their own.

Of course they're going to draft a new QB. He'll still get a chance in camp I bet.

 No it isn’t. A rookie missing significant time to a serious injury is not good thing under any circumstances. Especially a guy who may have substance abuse problems.
