Sign Matt Corral! (Cut by Carolina)

[UmbrellaMan]

The Bills need a talent infusion at backup QB, and Corral is far more talented than the players currently on the roster. He was Chris Simm’s #1 QB in the draft last year, but more importantly, his dual threat ability would be a revelation for a QB learning and developing under Josh Allen. He would be an amazing scout team QB if nothing else. 
 

Put a claim in Buffalo!

Didn't he miss the entire 2022 with a pretty serious injury?

[Back2Buff]

He wasn't even good in College.  I wish they would have put in a claim for Malik Cunningham.  The easiest way to win with a backup is QB is with a mobile QB.

[Rc2catch]

If he clears it would be a good move for him to get on Buffalos practice squad if they offer.

He was VERY good in college.. what in the world are you talking about?

 

In what world is : 3400 Pass Yards, 20 TDs, 5 Ints, 

614 rushing yards and 11 TDs in a season in the SEC not good/ mobile? 

 

Mobile QB: does 1300 yards and 15 TDs in 2 years not count? 

 

Mallik Cunningham had 200 more yards in 2 years than Corall 

 

This take from you isn't surprising based on your other posts, though.

I'm not sure he'll slide through waivers but if does slide to us it be interesting if claim him and cut/sign K. Allen to the PS.

We already know Beane tried to get Trey Lance. Corral has elite arm talent and he is also incredibly mobile. 
 

If anything at all happens to Josh’s Allen we are sunk. Corral might make things interesting.

Sorry, I actually watch a ton of college football and not just look at the stats.  Lane Kiffin can make anyone look good.  He is small and limited.

Matt Corral is not close to being a good prospect. He's been absolutely atrocious in every opportunity he got with the Panthers. Zero pocket presence and accuracy and terrible at reading NFL defenses. Hard pass

Lisfranc injury.  Pretty sure that's what Sammy Watkins had?  But I thought they ordinarily heal pretty well.

 

Corral made the initial 53 man roster and was cut so the Panthers could claim 3 guys off waivers.  That's gotta sting.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but do you make a special deal of watching the Panthers pre-season or something?  Cuz the guy never threw a regular season pass for them.

Yeah, I live in Charlotte and follow the Panthers pretty closely.

 

Admittedly Corral hasn't had a huge body of work (and he got injured his rookie year), but I have seen all of his action in preseason games. He has honestly looked completely lost every time he's on the field. The book on him coming out was great arm and athleticism, but also lacking in many of other attributes necessary to be a functional qb. So far that has proven to be highly accurate. He played in a very simplistic offense in college and has struggled mightily adapting. Corral panics and gets happy feet in the face of pressure or when he doesn't understand what the defense is showing. He'll give up on plays prematurely and deliver inaccurate passes because of poor mechanics. From my viewpoint he is just overwhelmed and lacks confidence. 

 

I guess some team will take a chance on him because there's no harm in trying, but I don't see him turning into a successful reclamation project.

[UmbrellaMan]

A lot of quarterbacks look like absolute trash early on. Aaron Rodgers was sketchy in preseason behind Favre. Sticking with Green Bay, Jordan Love may finally be emerging after looking “lost” many times in limited action in the past.

 

obviously Corral is not the perfect prospect, but he has the clay to mold into a productive starter if the light bulb comes on. The duo of Kyle Allen and Matt Barkley are just wasted roster spots, imo.

Don't the Bills have their computers set for an automatic waiver claim on anyone cut by the Carolina Panthers?

Trouble with putting in a claim is that he would have to be signed to the 53 man roster and he's not ready for that. He would need to learn the playbook and get snaps and that wouldn't happen in season (the practice snaps that is).

 

Best course is to see if he clears and sign to PS. He's still somewhat raw IMO and running the scout team would be a good start for him. I do think he's got a shot to be a plus backup.

What were his stats last year?

Rodgers and even Love were both 1st rounders that their team was going to give plenty of rope to develop.  Guys like Corral get a few chances, and if they blow them or get hurt, more times than not that's a wrap.

I watch a ton of college football too and actually understand how good Matt Corral was in college. If you do what you say, you'd see the same. 

 

So you watch "a ton of college football" and came to the conclusion Matt Corral wasn't good (or mobile) in college but Malik Cunningham was? 

I don't care if you dont "just look at stats" no player that "wasn't good in college" has over 30 touchdowns. <5 INTs 600 rushing yards in the SEC. 

 

If you don't just look at stats and actually watch the game and came to the conclusion he isn't mobile (or good in college), you need to get your eyes checked. Pretty sure he even had a 30 yard run in the NFL this preseason LOL.

No.. Not according to @Back2Buff... He "ACTUALLY watches a ton of college football and doesn't just look at stats" and he said Matt Corral isn't mobile... not even with 600 yards... immobile QBs get more than 600 yards every year! Trust him... he "watches a ton of college football"

Try to be less specific.  I’d like to see if that is somehow possible.

Dude, everyone who says "I actually watch and don't just look at stats" 

Actually mean, "I saw him play once and I drew X conclusion.." No way in hell someone watched him in college and didn't think he was a stud college QB (he also said he isn't mobile" lolllll) 

 

He also said he's small and limited.. He's 6'2 and 215.. he's a big guy LOL .. Maybe he doesn't look at height and weight stats either...
