I've supported Corbyn in the past, and I still support his politics - but there's no way he can unite even his own party enough to challenge in a GE. He's been a divisive element in the PLP from the get-go; why on earth would his party rally around a man who had tried to undermine pretty much every labour leader he's served under?
Additionally, winning almost no press support. Yes, that is partly the fault of the press and those pulling the strings of the press, but it's hugely important. Twitter/facebook doesn't have half the effect we think it does - just look at the 2015 election and the Brexit vote. I think if you can have Corbyn in a senior cabinet position, under a slightly more centrist and marketable leader, you'd be onto something.
