Mr. Scot

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.

You mean Sizzlebuzz / Dr. Lunkhead's favorite news source? Don't follow them so can't speak on what they reported. Who gives a sh-t about clicks?

Person's only reporting the decision. In previous articles where actual business analysis might have been needed, he's deferred to guys like Erik Spanberg and Daniel Kaplan.

On the plus side, there's stuff like this... Said it more than once. I think the saving grace of our defense is good personnel. The weakness has been in the coaching, particularly Phil Snow.

I wonder how many times God's been thanked that we didn't get this guy

Have said the same. We feasted in early games but after week 4 or 5 we really weren't very good. There are certainly good personnel on that side of the ball but defensive coaching last year was heavily overrated.

Probably a lot easier to do when you don't actually read it (as I suspect some haven't).

You know what I meant

I can't fault anybody for this deal. McLaurin is really good.

Still there in all it's glory last I saw... I think this is likely the truth. He's clearly looking for something but the way he goes about it just turns everybody off.

I wasn't even looking for him. And to be honest, don't even totally remember how I found him All I recall is one day seeing this goofy stuff on Twitter in a side bar while I was looking at something else. Thought to myself "Wow, that sounds like our resident Tepper Worshipper" so I looked closer. And yep...

I forgot Marty was up there

That thought has crossed my mind. Dad's one of the best OL coaches in the league too, though I'd prefer to keep Campen in that role and have dad be what you said.

The basic logic is that he needs time to learn the playbook, he's better than what we have and he's a better option than Garoppolo, all of which is probably valid. All that said, I'm still not on board.
