The effect, however, is at least make the Panthers watchable in 2022 If we go with the assumption they were never going to be able to get started in Corral in his rookie season. The team could be discussing "open competition" currently however, when the main obstacle
Mut 23 Coins who already proved that he isn't "the person," any pretense of the existence of a QB contest is just for posterity's to remember. In 2021 this was a 5-12 team, and with Mayfield the team could be ... I'm not sure, maybe 8-9?
If we accept that Mayfield has always been going to be the first choice for the position, this is where it gets intriguing. The Panthers recruited Ben McAdoo, who was slated to be the new head coach of the offense. In the beginning, it was a weird decision that seemed to be destined for similar issues as previously in New York. McAdoo prefers to play an open kind of West Coast shotgun passing base that requires quick decision-making from the quarterback and the ability to rack up yards when you're flushed out of your pocket. A statuesque, aging Eli Manning was the perfectly ineffective quarterback for this setup -- exactly in the same way a statuesque Darnold isn't a good fit.
You know who does fit? Baker Mayfield, and Matt Corral. Then, it's seriously galaxy brain mental gymnastics to believe that Carolina felt extremely strongly about Corral as an ideal candidate for their franchise but was waiting until the third round to trade for Corral. Thinking about this team playing chess like that doesn't give the team much credit. However, there is the
Cheap Mut 23 Coins possibility that Corral could become something special.
