Matt Corral is here because of Ben McAdoo

Well okay then. He is your new OC and he should decide who he feels is the best to fit his system. Just glad that they all cleared out and let him choose of the QB's still available.

I guess now it's on him to teach the rook up.

On the radio today, Fitterer said they deferred to McAdoo's judgement on QBs, and he had Corral as QB1 

Seems like a much smarter path than listening to Phil Snow 

Which furthers the assumption Rhule wanted Baker to repeat the scenario for a 3rd straight year.

That's the big thing. If he knows what he wants to do and who he wants to do it, then Rhule needs to let him.

Seriously, I was expecting to trade back, grab LT Penning from N Iowa or a Guard (and go with BC at LT), and then trade up into the early second round for the QB--expecting to get Howell or Corral. 
The only reason we waited is because we did not have the draft capital after taking Ewonu with no trade back.

The way they waited when 4 QBs were falling suggests to me that they did not have a single QB targeted--But to get Corral at the end of round 3?  That is a round and a half higher than where we got Clausen and about the same place where we drafted Grier.  NOT COMPARING THEM--but demonstrating the value.  It really does not matter where they were on our board, by the way, if they don't show up on the field.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
