Where Do Andy Dalton, Matt Corral Rank Among Backup QBs?

Carolina's quarterback room is in pretty good shape.

Bryce Young hasn't been named the starting quarterback of the Carolina Panthers yet, but it's just a matter of when rather than if. 

Behind Young, the Panthers have two quality options in veteran Andy Dalton and second-year man out of Ole Miss, Matt Corral. Obviously, there is a lot of unknowns about Corral's game at this level due to missing his entire rookie year with a foot injury but the coaching staff liked what they saw from him back in the spring.

So, just how good is the Panthers' QB room? Here's where Andy Dalton and Matt Corral rank in Dalton Miller's backup QB rankings on Pro Football Network.

Andy Dalton - No. 2

"Andy Dalton’s highs still mimic a starting quarterback. However, a closer look at his performance from 2022 shows a QB who rightfully feated on bad defenses while underwhelming against better competition.

"Dalton simply lacks the playmaking ability with his arms and legs to be a consistent weapon under center. Nevertheless, he’s started 162 games, with 2023 being the first time in his career that he’s not the starter."

Matt Corral - No. 32

"Out of all the young and inexperienced quarterbacks further along the list, Matt Corral has the most unlikely path toward success. Based on his college game, Corral could fit neatly into the Wentz bucket, but the hope is that he’s been able to slowly digest an NFL playbook. Corral possesses the kind of athleticism and arm talent to survive in the NFL, but everything else needed molding when he left Ole Miss."
