Go back and watch all of his preseason work. He had one good throw which was ok a swing route to a RB. Everything else he basically looked like a fan who won a drawing to play QB that day. I know you like the guy and hell I had him as my #2 QB in the draft, but damn... he looked flat out awful.

Passing on QB prospects due to holding out hope for Corral would be flat out insane

Matt Corral looked unbelievably awful in preseason. Like worse than Pickles awful.

Still the worst OL performance at the Combine I've ever seen. I'm pretty sure I said afterward that I wouldn't have the guy on my draft board, period. Undraftable.

Like many of us said at the time, we got something for nothing. Getting anything in return for Greg Little was a massive win.

Y'all wanna see paper bags over heads in BOA that bad?

Because I don't have any respect for you as a human.

I just understand what his trade value is. It's practically nothing. If he's being a good mentor to our top 10 pick rookie LT that's worth more than what we could get for him in a trade.

I mean, Rhule hired the entire coaching staff too so I guess we're just doing fan drawings for coaches of the day for the rest of the season.

You're not getting out from under the contract. I'd rather have the mentorship over the conditional 7th.

I honestly think his value is more along the lines of a conditional 7th. Hence why I'd rather keep him.

Please make him an in the box strong safety. Kam Chancellor. That's how he needs to be used.

I'm done with this guy. If one of the other mods wants to let him out of jail, fine. But the spamming new threads for every thought that passes through his skull... fug.

He is. But there's more to being an NFL player than just the Xs and Os and on-field technique. Mentors are a good thing for kids trying to learn how to be professionals while also dealing with being newly made millionaires.

I'd take a strong veteran mentor for our top 10 pick rookie LT over a conditional late round pick. What are we gonna do, draft another long snapper?

Seems like a helluva lot less actual work.

Great players becoming great coaches are a rarity indeed. Cam Erving is well past his prime as a player but he's a long time starting NFL LT so I'm sure he has a wealth of information and experience to share.

Mentoring oftentimes has little to do with actual playing ability.

I wish you nothing but the absolute best. Hang in there man.

Just ridiculous. You don't do yourself any favors when you blatantly lie about something everyone can see with their own eyes.

Our OL coach seems to be doing fine and I very seriously doubt we could get a 5th. I'm thinking more along the lines of a conditional 7th. He has very little value.

If Erving has been the type of mentoring presence for Ickey as that previous article made him out to be, I'd honestly rather keep him through the season than trade him for a conditional late round pick or something like that.

What was the context of the "I'm out" comment? I mean, it's possible he was basically just telling a teammate he'd been benched.

What's that old saying again? If you have more than one QB then you don't actually have a QB? I think Zappe has the moxie and good natured attitude to be a Minchew or Fitzmagic type. Basically a career backup that has some moments as a bridge starter type. I'm not sure where I see Jones. If he has the right mentality he could make it as a backup too but he just seems like a douchebag and has twice now tried to blatantly injure opponents with dirty bullshit. Not sure that's stuff is gonna fly for a backup. Either way, the Pats should be QB shopping this off-season.
