I’m just glad we aren’t going to have to deal with questions about who is the starter if Bryce has a rough series or two in his first ever NFL game. 

Exactly. We actually have a staff that is going to let our rookie develop even if he struggles early.

I get the excuses for Stroud, they’re valid. What I don’t get, is how Corral went through the exact same thing last preseason, if not a worse situation (running for his life behind an awful o-line, worst coaching staff in the league, very few offseason reps) and yet a sizable contingent on these boards were pretty unforgiving and wrote him off as clearly not belonging in the league.

It's pretty simple really. It's from fans of qbs the Panthers didn't draft.

No one thought Corral looked good though, even his mother. If people are defensive about someone questioning his performance they maybe aren’t looking at it honestly.  

He’ll have his chance (look at the number of ‘I thought he was out of the league’ QBs still on a roster).
Besides, I have this perverted fantasy that something will happen with Young and Corral gets in and pulls a win out of a lost cause and all of a sudden QB controversy - 3rd round scrub vs #1 golden boy. That would be some solid gold message board entertainment right there, I bet a ton of people would instantly hate him. Or hate themselves for liking him… or something like that.

It'll be a short, but entertaining appearance by Holton. Started with a fumbled snap on the first play but was able to recover it. Had two big scrambles. Then threw a prayer while under pressure that turned into a TD, Thanks to a great play by the receiver Matt Landers. With 2 minutes left, Ahlers is 4-4, 43 yards, TD. 3 rushes for 29 yards.

    • He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc. 
    • The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position. 
    • Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
