Corral vs the rest of the rookie field

[micnificent28]

I know it's extremely early. Book isn't written and corral isn't around to defend himself. But, looking at the flashes every other peer in his tier is putting up(cough Willis, pickett, ridder) did we really miss here?

You answered your own question.  It's too early to know because he was in a completely different situation and then got hurt with very chance to show anything. 

[LinvilleGorge]

He looked the worst of the bunch and then he got hurt. Now he's gonna miss a year of practice.

Not good.

Its too early to completely write him off, but it doesn't look good.  From the limited amount he's played so far, it looks like we'd be lucky if he develops into a solid backup.

He's certainly in a bad position.  His only chance now is if Rhule survives another season.

He has had very little time and reps so far…the year to learn and rehab could be a blessing in disguise

 

[tukafan21]

Had no issue taking the player, still think he could be a solid back up if he has the time/ability to develop.

But I'm still furious at trading away next year's 3rd rounder to get him, especially after we then went out and got Baker, just a terrible decision there.

He looked like a rookie who didn’t get many reps which is exactly what he was. He looked awful the first game and better his second. He will keep getting better with more experience. Let’s see what Baker can do this year which will help dictate how we handle Corral in the future. 

[Captroop]

He looked woefully out of his depth. And a few more training camp reps were not going to make the difference.

I want to see a silver lining here, but losing a year of practice really will hurt his development. What he will need to do is spend the year watching, and conditioning, and conditioning, and conditioning.

He's very talented, but he's more raw than I expected him to be. So a year riding the bench with no expectations will be good for him. But as others have pointed out, if Rhule isn't hear next offseason, I doubt his future will be with us.

The focus was on Baker-Darnold. I would wager that other quarterbacks mentioned have had more coaching than Corral. If he is able to recover and develop into a solid backup It will not be a wasted pick. It looks like Baker was taking him under his wing. Odds are that Baker will be #1 next year anyway. 

[TheCasillas]

The idea that corral wasn’t coached is baffling. It’s not like they told him you’re not allowed in the quarterback room. He got coaching he still gets coaching he just got injured and transitioning to this game is not as easy as some might think. Going from a single read system to a multi read system is a big adjustment. 
 

that all being said. He did look out of place and I think no matter which team he is on, he would have looked the same. He is a project and we all know this. The future for the kid can be bright based on how he handles it and grows.

No

Sam Howell was woefully undervalued too. He was considered possible first overall pick for 2 seasons untill UNC was gutted, and he still played just as well or better than Pickett. Still baffling to me how he went in the 5th.

Howell included... Everyone one of these guys I have seen have shown something even in limited reps. Corral... I haven't seen it. Not a flash or anything. He looks overwhelmed. Could be wrong but this is starting to feel like grier all over again.. Or tony pike.
