The Broncos have a lot more to offer. They have picks, they have cap space, they have two great WRs who are young, 6'4, and both locked up long term, they can trade someone like Jerry Jeudy and not suffer at all, and they have an RB who is predicted to be top 5 next season (and had 900 yards this season) plus they have a very very good TE in Fant

Was Replacing Kevin O'Connell with Scott Turner at OC a Mistake???
VirginiaVibes replied to Renegade7's topic in The Stadium
I mean, i don't know about 2020 but KOC was a pretty vocal Dwayne supporter at the end od 2019 and Dwayne was all over social media begging for them to keep KOC as offensive coordinator. Here KOC said regardless of where he ended up he would keep in touch with Haskins https://www.nfl.com/news/redskins-oc-proud-of-progress-shown-by-haskins-0ap3000001092032 -

Yes. Not that I hate Turner but when KOC took over playcalling not only was the QB playing better but we were getting good production out of WRs OTHER than Terry McLaurin. I think we lost a lot in terms of consistency and comraderie...the team was starting to build what looked like a solid foundation with Harmon, Sims, McLaurin. Now Haskins issues and not wanting to work were his own doing but he played his best ball when KOC was calling plays. People don't understand the importance of continuity and putting aside the QB position Turner has had real trouble getting other receivers involved in the passing game (and doesn't even get the ball to McLaurin as consistently as he should) -
I don't see Carolina taking anyone but Pickett if they take a QB. Rhule and Pickett have a long relationship;

This is a really great article. Insightful stuff

They just gave him a contract extension through 2026 lol

I think he's a fine interview and everyone says he comes off super likable and charismatic when talking to him
-
Yeah sorry I am not interested in him. I know he is young but he has issues going back to hia college days. The last thing this team needs is a QB that isn't or can't be a leader or points fingers when things go wrong. How a QB handles adversity is super important, especially to a franchise like this one.

This is one of my issues with Howell. Herbert was able to silence critics about his quiet demeanor and leadership because he had one of the greatest rookie seasons ever for a QB. I do not expect that from Howell. And for where this team is right now, I think the fanbase and the team really needs a QB that the fans can embrace and really want to rally around (look at how everyone has rallied around Burrow because he's such a likeable charismatic guy). I also think that if fans like a guy they are a lot more willing to be patient with him.
-
If he starts a single game next year for any reason other than injury to another QB then I will throw up. Heinecke is a decent back up but he can not start next season for any reason.

This was the same complaint made about both Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert. Colleges do not run pro style offenses a lot of the time but it doesn't mean the QB can't run one. Also I think, despite two games where he threw 5 INTs, Corral's 2020 tape is better because he was healthy. In 2021 he played the majority of the season hurt and with half his starters out
-
The other thing that sticks out to me is - people talk so much about him playing in an RPO at Ole Miss but he played from under center not only in high school but when he was in training after he committed to USC so it's not like he has never done it. When he committed to USC and was training for the season, all his reps and things were drop backs so I think he will be fine there but will likely need some time to speed up his read/processing

If we somehow pulled that off and got a WR in the 3rd that would be AMAZING

I feel like we need to look at this crop of QBs differently and think about best fit for this team and where the team is right now. Kenny Pickett is the most pro ready because of the system he played in but his ceiling seems lower. Really there is no clear cut QB1 like Trevor Lawrence or Joe Burrow, everyone has pros and cons and their play on the field hasn't really seperated them too much - so what about off the field? What sets them apart? The new rebrand is going to take some getting used to - new name, new uniforms, etc and what really would help is a young, magnetic personality that fans can really rally around. I don't think Sam Howell is that guy. Apparently he is very shy, soft spoken, didn't impress much in Senior Bowl interviews. For a rebrand you want a guy that fans will be passionate about, not meh on (and frankly fans are more forgiving and patient with rookie mistakes if they really like the rookie as a person) - someone who will stand on the sidelines and get people fired up. I haven't see much of that from Carson Strong either honestly. The guy who makes the most sense to me is Matt Corral. He already has three things in common with Rivera which would instantly bond them - he's a Latino guy from a military family raised in California just like Ron. That might not seem important but that is such an easy starting point for a coach and QB to start connecting and building trust. Corral's tough. He apparently has a really magnetic personality where his teammates not only love him but would run through a wall for him. I saw countless games where he was leading the Ole Miss chant or standing on the bench to get the fans fired up. Todd McShay recently compared him to Joe Theismann. He does run an RPO but has everything Ron said he wanted - mobility, quick twitch, strong arm and his work ethic is insane. He was holding QB meetings and training everyday at 5 am. 3 hours before their regular practices even started: https://www.si.com/college/olemiss/football/5-a-m-meetings-matt-corral-ole-miss-quarterbacks-taking-work-ethic-to-the-next-level I don't know I just think he is the perfect fit for this team right now. He would fit really well with Scott Turner's offense because he has accuracy at the intermediate level and is so elusive along with the arm talent to make some Mahomes like throws from different angles and honestly elite ability to manipulate his body.
