Yeah, a barely above .500 Sun Belt team is "the best team in NC".

Nevermind the three ranked ACC teams with better records...

I'm an App State grad and that was a bruh moment for me too

Anyway props to CCU, they've built themselves a solid program in a short amount of time.  Plus I bet it's sweet for those kids to be 30 minutes away from throwing up popcorn shrimp and margaritas in front of a family from Ohio at Rainbow Falls putt putt course in Myrtle Beach.  poo I know that's what I'd be doing if I went to school there.

Why is Grayson McCall playing for Coastal Carolina?  If the skills and talent were really there wouldn’t he be at some bigtime school?  And if he was would he be good?

At the end of last year he actually had offers from several P5 schools and thought about entering the transfer portal and leaving but decided he was going to finish what he started at Coastal

Sorry to say but that's a weak argument. 

Many good QBs have come from small schools.  Wyoming isn't a powerhouse by any means.  Liberty doesn't scream perennial Top 25.  The list could go on and on.

I'm not a fan of McCall and said earlier if he is our only option at QB it would mean PJ had a great 2nd half.

Secondly, I don't believe he has better tools than Corral and we'd be wasting a pick for competing QBs.  If you are going to take a QB in round 1 he better be able to beat PJ and Corral out.  Otherwise I would rather focus on a different position.

Might as well throw the Corral preseason film in the garbage, Rhule put him in a position to fail. He put TMJ in a position to fail, he ignored the fact we upgraded OC in Bozeman, who knows how many other behind the scenes moves he made based on who would kiss his ass or not

I think level of competition is important personally.  Josh Allen turned into a great player but that isn’t the norm.  Taking an outlier and applying to other players is risky business.  
 

I respect your opinion but I don’t see PJ or Corral as long term solutions but I hope I am wrong.

Well without looking it up we have

Jake Delhomme 

Farve

Big Ben

Josh Allen

Roger Staubach 

Steve McNair 

Kurt Warner

Tony Romo

Those are all franchise guys off the top of my head from small programs in my lifetime. I'm sure I'm forgetting several. 

 

Besides Corral played in the SEC

 Yeah it's tricky with the college stuff. I think it's fair to say Mccall's WR is a step above the bum CB's they play week in and out. It definitely makes drafting a guy like that higher more difficult because they play on a smaller stage with less pressure, and they're usually throwing against secondaries of guys who won't even be UDFA's. Senior Bowl would be a good showing for him but he's not eligible since he won't graduate by December, he could also play in college again next year if he thinks it would bump his stock

Take note outside of Allen none of these are recent. Your list of current "small school" NFL starting QBs is:

1. Trey Lance - Looks bad and got hurt.

2. Zach Wilson - Looks bad and got hurt. 

3. Carson Wentz - Looks bad and got hurt.

4. Josh Allen - MVP candidate.

And the list of starting QBs is overwhelmingly towards the majority of first and second rounders. McCall likely isn't that. Its getting harder and harder to find diamond in the rough QBs in the later rounds. The Jaguars might have had one in Minshew and he played significantly better than Lawrence has thus far and with worse weapons. Unfortunately for Gardner he is sitting behind Hurts on an undefeated team so he is going to have to test the free agent waters next year and see who wants to roll the dice on him.

Gotta keep an eye on Malik Willis this week as well if he gets the start against the Chiefs. He went 7-14 for 61 yards in his first game last week, but they were running for like 7 yards a carry so wasn't a true showing of where he's at. 

Minshew is chilling right now, if he gets playing time and there's no drop off in offensive performance he can make some money next year. Biggest issue with him is he's stuck on the last year of his rookie contract and the Eagles refused to trade him for good reason because that's a solid backup. Jags traded him away for a 6th rounder because they're the Jags

I’m not sure Minshew has the arm strength to be a franchise QB. He is a great backup and decent bridge QB similar to Teddy IMO.

Yeah he's no PJ when it comes to slinging it but he's less turnover prone. I guess that's what gets all these backup guys lumped together, one little thing missing here or there that they usually can't overcome

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
