Corral deserves a fair shot

I can't help you bud. It's not hard to realize what we had to give up for Bryce Young he's going to be our guy. Im not about to debate Matt freaking Corral being our QB of the future.

 

We can agree to disagree on this.

I'm not saying MC is the future. But not giving him an opportunity to compete is downright foolish. I think we just look at things differently and that's OK. 1st or 250th, draft position doesn't matter, only results.  You start the guy who gives you the best opportunity to win, no matter where he was drafted. 

And FYI, I don't think MC beats out BY. My hope is we develop him and he shows off enough to be able to trade him like NE with Jimmy G. I don't think he will accept a backup role if he proves to be a decent starter, whether by injury or playing when the game is out of reach.

Who is not giving him the opportunity to compete?

 

Bro you sound crazy right now. If he proves to be better than Darnold he will win the backup job point blank.

What do you think of in terms if reps when you say give him an opportunity to compete? I would hate to take reps away from Young, so I’m curious what you think it would look like?

BY should get the majority to start camp, if he's ready to take them, which he should be. AD and MC should split what's left. I would think something like a 65/15(AD)/20(MC) split. Depending on how they respond and progress or regress, adjust accordingly. Rinse and repeat.

Corral deserves the same number of reps and chance that I do. Zero. 

Wow, glad you will never be a coach or GM as your Bryce Young groupie sensitive feelings hurt easily get in the way of your rational judgement. Yes, by this guys BRILLIANT statement lets never give Corral any reps or chance so he can NEVER have a chance to develop into a possible future great backup or trade bait to get a pick out of. Your being so threatened by any younger QB on the roster that you feel could be competition to our true number one (Bryce) is so ridiculous and dumb it causes you want to hurt the teams chances of potentially finding or developing a future backup QB or get trade bait.

You do know if we just throw away Corral without giving him a single chance to develop because your feelings are sensitive that means another younger QB may come in and he would have to get a few reps and chance as well to develop into a backup right? You do realize that your whole jealous threatened sensitive little feeling mindset would apply to any future new QB right? With your general philosophy, I guess we should just run with one QB on the roster (Bryce) and forget everyone else at all so you don't feel threatened by other QB's. If Bryce ever has to miss a game, I guess we can just suit of McCown again right? Such a stupid and baby statement you have here I cant even believe you had anyone dumb enough to support it with a pie or beer. Shows their mentality as well I guess.

Ummm, enough to at least develop him some in order to have a future backup QB or would you prefer if Bryce ever goes down that we just throw someone into the fire that has never even had any practice reps at all?

I noticed most of the ones who think even giving Corral a shot to develop into a backup in this thread have some sensitive little threatened feelings. For some reason trying to develop Corral into a backup or great trade bait unfortunately is like 3D chess to them. Mostly though they think somehow if any other QB is developed that it means hating on Bryce Young and is a whole Cam Newton situation over again like how Cam had haters for no reason. They are too stupid to realize Bryce is the number one guy and will be moving forward but Corral needs to be developed into a backup or trade bait and not just given his walking papers because they are scared of having another younger QB on the roster for fear it will be another Cam getting hate situation all over again. I mean, we should just talk about the elephant in the room instead of tiptoeing around it. Nobody is stupid here and does not see the narrative they are trying to paint.

I agree with this. It sounded like some folks wanted a 50/50 competition straight up, but I might have misread the comments.

Makes sense. Also, it’s been stated that Dalton doesn’t need that many reps which could potentially shift work to Corrals advantage if he shows progress.  I think BY is first priority and rightfully so, but I don’t think Corral will be an afterthought if he shows promise.
