ForJimmy

Because THEY requested it. Do you really not see a difference? Did either franchise trade away 3 first rounds to replace either of them at 29?

So much swagger….

Hasn’t Corbet always played RG? I’m not sure he can switch that easily. I think Bozeman played some LG as well. Starting off could be Icky, Bozeman, Elf, Corbet, Moton and maybe slowly work a young guy at LG like Brown, Mays, or BC as the season progresses and Icky gets comfortable whilr sliding Bozeman back to C.

Only Stafford was traded because HE requested it. The others two were past their mid 30s and WANTED to go somewhere else after their contracts were up. Let’s also not act like Manning was the reason the Broncos won that Super Bowl. Also imagine Detroit trading 3 first round picks for a QB while Stafford was in his prime? No one questioned the Niners doing it for a reason. Why are their no trade offers for Jimmy right now? Shouldn’t teams be all over a QB that can win. You know who else was a “winner” despite average stats? Teddy. When he went to a below average team he was horribly exposed and went 5-11.

You don’t put great QBs on the trading block. You also don’t trade away 3 1st rounders to replace them. Their head coach is also a “winner” with the same record and he wants to move on from Jimmy.

Yeah seems kind of low for Mills…

What about the history of Fitts drafting a QB in the 3rd? Honestly the odds of ANY drafted QB becoming an elite franchise guy are slim. On a side note one could argue the most promising rookie QB in that loaded class last year was David Mills who was drafted in the 3rd. He did more with less talent around him than any of the others IMO. Corral should have as good of a chance as any prospect. He is being treated like a high round pick despite where he was drafted. He should have a lot of talent protecting him on the OL with some nice weapons in Moore and CMC (Marshall will hopefully contribute this year). McAdoo is going to be in his ear every practice sharing what he learned coaching a great QB in Rodgers. If we traded down and picked Corral later in the first (which very easily could have happened) we would be expecting him to be the guy. We got lucky and snagged him in the 3rd PLUS Icky to protect his blind side. Let’s sit back and actually enjoy this offseason, because so far it’s been a promising one.

When people say that I think they are referring to average capable RBs. We signed a midseason FA RB in Abdullah who did quite well. RBs like CMC, Kamara, Cook etc are in a different class, if they can stay healthy they are game changers.

It's a win if Corral and Icky look the part. Hopefully they do and we might even get a new coach to properly develop them. I'm not expecting much record wise...

Thanks for your insight and contribution. Why in the world would you read/react to a board that was been "ruined" in your eyes? Is there nothing else you can do with your free time?

I didn't realize Rhule had some fans still hanging around. I'm optimistic that he is learning and through his experienced coordinators/assistants and Fitt taking on more of the GM responsibilities that he can still have us winning some games soon. I don't really think the Bengals coach is that great, but he got some talented players and let his coordinators do their thing which worked out well for him. Something like that could work out in Rhule's favor. However outside of my cautious optimism that he can learn/evolve I don't really seen what he has done that has contributed to our success as a franchise...

Lol fair point. If I remember correctly that defense carried them through most of their wins with him...

It was Josh McDaniels who didn’t exactly kill it with his The Golden Calf of Bristol project.

I think that's a definite. The real question is can our staff do as well as New England's did developing a rookie QB.

That's a high bar... Burrow didn't exactly light it up his first start and Manning threw a ton of INTs his rookie year. Even out of last year's loaded class the only rookie QB that looked decent was Mac Jones. We may never find another Cam Newton, but that doesn't mean Corral can't be a great QB for us.

I think Tepper enjoys the spotlight, but he wants a QB that can win games with means he needs to be a leader. He was the one behind bringing Cam back and also wanted to go all in on Deshaun Watson, both are leaders of their teams and would outshine Rhule. I'm thinking a lot of Tepper's excitement is being a new owner and it will wear off sooner or later and he will sit back and let his staff do their jobs once they prove they are able to do so.

I'll be happy if Icky is a franchise LT, Corral is just an incredible bonus if he works out!

and what a HoF career he went on to have!

Our RBs are going to love running to the left side! Hell we have Moton and Corbett on the right. (I think Corbet is better at pass protection though but I could be wrong).

Love hearing the Icky part! Nearly ran the OL holding the pad into the ground made me laugh out loud. The mean is a beast and hopefully will be our LT for a long time.
