2 years agoCarolina Panthers rookie quarterback Matt Corral is unlikely to start in Week 1, as ESPN.com's David Newton gives him a 5% chance to start the season opener. The plan is to have a veteran, whether it be Sam Darnold or Baker Mayfield or someone else, start the year and keep Corral ready to take over if necessary. Corral is having to learn a completely different offensive language, and offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo said he'll be tough on Corral so he'll be ready when it's his time. With that said, there's a very good chance the 23-year-old won't sit all year, as Darnold hasn't proven much in four NFL seasons. Corral could get his chance early if Darnold struggles out of the gates, but with Carolina not having much receiving depth behind DJ Moore and Robby Anderson, it's hard to envision Corral being anything more than a low-end QB2 right away.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
