Yeah, because we usually win games that we are expected to win …

Nothing makes some of you people happy.  I hope y'all are not as miserable in your real lives as you are on here.

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.

You obviously think Baker is going to be bad. That's the only way you can come to this conclusion

Not at all. If Baker balls out, we try to resign him. If he sucks, we've lost very little because Darnold already sucked. 

I think that in reality we're going to get something in between. Baker will be average, which will win us a few more games, make Darnold immediately obsolete (if he wasn't already), and means that we don't have to throw Corral to the wolves.

I really dont see a negative here.  I dont love Baker but hes fairly young and we are getting him cheap and for a conditional 5th rounder.  If he sucks he is for sure gone after this season and he gave our rookie qb who needs time, the time he needs.  The worst case scenario I guess if you're just looking for one its he plays great and then we have to decide what to do after this season, but if the worst case scenario is we have a 27 year old qb who plays great then I will take that worst case every time.

it's just because baker is a whiny crybaby coward and he also kinda sucks

Exactly, Corral has to battle PJ for the final spot. 

Good luck on beating one of his pets. 

Yeah...can't see that at all.

Pretty sure keeping PJ Walker over Matt Corral would be Matt Rhule's fast track ticket to the unemployment line.

I think the negative here is people hate Rhule so the best case for them is we lose every game, fire Rhule and draft a new QB and start the rebuild over again.

https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-final-2021-offensive-line-rankings

Finished 8th last year with multiple injuries.  Still a top 10, but most of it is run blocking grades.  

Preseason it was ranked #1 overall.  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-ranking-all-32-nfl-offensive-line-units-entering-2021-season

They dropped because of injury.  From your link: Cleveland’s starting five forms one of the best offensive lines in the game. 

I wonder what our line rank if both tackles went down.

Even with injuries two OL were probowlers last year: Bitonio and Teller.

Do you believe corral is better than next year's QB class?

So you're expecting Matt to be the backup? Because the starter the gets the lion's share of reps, the backup gets the rest and the third guy gets basically zero.

I think when it's all said and done he very well could be the back up.  I would imagine we will unload Sam if anyone will pay any portion of that damn salary.  Similar to what we did with Teddy.  Our staff isn't the brightest, but they really cut lose of a QB when they finally realize they aren't good enough.

I don't know that at all.

I'm not a fan of him, and I wasn't a fan of this trade, but I wouldn't guarantee he's going to be terrible.

Preseason rankings don't matter.  It's how they performed throughout the season.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
