Mr. Scot

He was on the Garoppolo train, I think. Also pretty sure he predicted there was no way Cleveland would give up Mayfield because they needed him in case of Watson's suspension

I'm not comfortable using wins and losses to judge individual players in a team sport. Coaches and GMs? Yeah (with a few qualifications) but not individual players...including quarterbacks.

I'm not going to make a decision like that based on stats, or win-loss record. I want to see how he plays.

Nobody is against winning. What people fear is a short-term flash in the pan leading to an extended investment that turns out to not be worth it. Imagine, for example, that we had given Sam Darnold a big extension based on the first four games of last year. Heck, it wouldn't be the first time it happened to this team. Jerry Richardson gave Dom Capers a ten year guaranteed contract extension based on the 1996 season and look what happened after that. A lot of people don't believe in Matt Rhule and could very easily see a similar thing happening with him. (I'm one of them)

To be fair, 25-30 million a year is relatively cheap for a starting quarterback, especially a good one.

You can't go by my emotions, honestly. Lady Cowboy Fan would tell you me raising my eyebrows constitutes a huge emotional reaction. I make Mr. Spock look like the life of the party.

Too much for it to happen...

Same as it was... It's interesting, I'll say that. Whether or not it turns out to be good remains to be seen.

Does he?

I'd actually be amused if they started filming commercials in his "new house".

I don't know that at all. I'm not a fan of him, and I wasn't a fan of this trade, but I wouldn't guarantee he's going to be terrible.

Yeah...can't see that at all. Pretty sure keeping PJ Walker over Matt Corral would be Matt Rhule's fast track ticket to the unemployment line.

Apparently posted on Instagram yesterday... I would assume it has nothing to do with Baker Mayfield.

Didn't say I wanted us to do it. I actually didn't. But it's done...

I don't think this trade was about Corral. The only honest to goodness effect I see this having on him is that he's now even less likely to play this season than he already was. But again, it was never about him.

Anybody seen Robbie?

We were literally negotiating this trade at the time we drafted Corral. You have an immediate starter on a one-year deal for minimal cash and a rookie who gets to sit back and learn. Speaking as someone who cares neither for Baker Mayfield nor Matt Rhule, I can objectively say that's not a bad arrangement.

...coached by an OC who didn't like either of them the year they were drafted "May you live in interesting times" -Chinese saying

...and conditional.

Speaking objectively... This is a really well administered trade when you look at what we gave up and what we're paying. Speaking personally... I'm not a Baker Mayfield fan, but I'll hope for the best.

Mayfield is under contract for one year. Nothing about this trade makes Corral a wasted pick.

My advice? Avoid bringing up that part about how happy endings aren't technically illegal

Ron Rivera made Donte Jackson look like a lower round rookie. He'd certainly had some good games prior to that, but boy did he crash afterward. That game is probably the greatest illustration I ever saw of the old saying "What I created, I can also destroy".

Yep, and pretty much all of them about the topic of football. (funny how that works) I've also learned that when people can't come up with a good response, they switch to talking about things like post count

You were talking about clicks in the context of a post I made of a Person tweet. As far as the Ledger, Jackie Lee's post above is accurate. Likewise, seriously doubt anyone here on a football board (except maybe you and Dr Lunkhead) gives enough of a sh-t to actually listen to a livestream of a David Tepper bankruptcy hearing. Did you genuinely think people are gonna go to that kind of length just to hear something bad about Tepper? Most of us here have lives.
