Some QB's you can just look at and see they aren't NFL level talent.

 

Im getting Jimmy Clausen vibes with Corral.

 

 

At least for now he'll have the benefit of possibly the best QB coaching staff ever assembled for a few months of his life so hopefully it'll help him out down the road

I think Cam maybe muddied the waters for some casual football fans. The QB isn't the running option in the RPO! The RB is the running option because the O-line is run blocking! No one knows what the QB is going to decide, they just do their jobs which is why it throws defenses off. 

The verbiage is similar to “Read Option “ and they both kind of became popular phrases for media talking heads around the same time. Also, to your point, we sort of blended the two with Cam.

Cam sort of allowed us to run a triple threat option rather than a true RPO. 

That being said, I still think that over the long run the QB with better processing ability will beat out the more gifted athlete. So many times the athletic mobile QB creates a game of one vs. 11, rather than 11 vs 11.

It only makes sense to just keep 2 QBs on the roster after we select one overall. If you get down to your 3rd, then its over anyway.

I think they’ll keep 3. Hopefully the 3rd is Corral, not Eason. Keep Corral and develop him, showcase him next preseason, and hopefully get something in return in a trade.

It's the most important position in all of sports - I've no idea why every team doesn't keep 3 on the roster at all times. You should always be developing someone.

If you are running / going to run a heavy RPO offense, you don't get rid of Matt Corral.  He was really good at that in college.  That said, I'm not sure that's really Reich's system to date.  He likes the play action.  Maybe the influence of Thomas Brown will send us down a different path.

In any event, ideally, if Corral isn't the guy we want, our best outcome is to showcase him and get something back.  Even a fourth is better than nothing.

I don't think there's any vibes to get yet. He was only getting 2 or 3 snaps in practice last year and Rhule was focusing on him getting those high quality mental reps instead. He may end up being Pickles 2.0. It's just way too soon to tell without letting him get some practice.

Or find out he's a good backup

    • One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.  
    • “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃 
    • Bix has more tds through his first 11 games than bryce has his entire career....no comparison at all he made amazing throws during his first games his decision making just keeps getting better.  Young does not have the physical ability ro make the rhrows bo makes
