Matt Corral is here because of Ben McAdoo

[Zod]

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

 The man has a plan that Corral fits better than anyone. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

I really hope I'm right to be encouraged by this.

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.

[Jon Snow]

As it should be. If the OC knows a good qb's when he sees one it should not be an issue.

I feel like I'm getting reeled back in, but aside from replacing Rhule they're starting to do everything I was hoping they'd do.

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.

Matt Rhule every post game presser: 

Sam Darnold is our starting QB

[TheRumGone]

He got Allen, Mahomes and Lamar right so.

If Corral ends up being the man...McAdoo will get a promotion. 

[top dawg]

Actually it's further evidence of growth.

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.
