Put it this way.  The same staff that was interested in Baker is the same staff who put a trade together for NE to jump into the 3rd and take Corral despite his character concerns as well.  

Difference is McAdoo was in on the whole QB picking/drafting process this time.

Put it this way, we drafted our QB "of the future" but the idiots don't realize that future is NOW.

Why hasn't Corral signed yet? They have yet to show him the proper RESPECT. They keep collecting delinquents in spite of drafting arguably the SECs best QB. 

Last time we drafted the best the SEC had to offer we got Cam, and played him without calamity.

See you guys are OK with Rhules country club, good ol boy hookup atmosphere. Baker is here because of friendship not merit.

They should be focused on Matt Corral like McAdoo.

Why didn't any other team want Corral?  The Seahawks? Nope.  I'm just saying you can't say Baker is terrible because no other team wanted him, but Corral is our definite savior when no other teams wanted him (through round 2 at least).  Rhule hired McAdoo and his his boss like it or not so he had to approve the Corral trade and the Baker trade.  I don't think Rhule is that good but I'm just saying he signed off on both trades.

Baker is exactly who he was before we traded for him. This place after the trade:

He will be more fun to watch than Sam but he is also not a good QB who has known issues on and off the field. Just like with Sam, before you start making up fake narratives like 'he is basically a rookie' or in this case 'look how composed he is' please remember he is a Vet and this is the extream offseason.

Also comparing him to Cam is extreamly funny. Question: would we have ever traded Cam before his 5th option year for a conditional 5th? Yeah that is BS regardless of similarities on the shallow level.

I trust McAdoo's evaluation. Russell, Aaron, Tom all passed up.

Also, the ridiculous hoopla over Kinny Pickett's one successful year out of five turned the whole QB draft board on it's head, had the board stayed the same as the year before Corral would've been QB1.

I blame irrationality. The pundits thirsted after being the one to pick the next best thing. They did it with Zach Wilson IMO and Pickett. That's great, bottom feeders pick THOSE guys. They follow hype like moths toa flame and continue to "whiff".

His last year was the most impressive to me. The prior year he had too many INTs. Our guy had that Ole Miss in games against teams with way better rosters in the SECW. 

That's all I'm saying. He stood up to Alabama. They played out of their weight class with Matt Corral.

He deserves to try and go for OROY. Last year in the SEC said it all, draft foolishness be damned. He put the team on his back.

McAdoo is just the guy to make that happen and nurture him on the job. He absolutely loves Corral. But no.

OverRhuled!

I see the similarities between him and Cam. 

Nobody is saying he's like Cam in every way, so back off.  There are enough similarities that more than 1 person is noticing.

Corral wasn't going to be rushed to starting anyways, barring injury to Sam.

      Was at the game and NYCFC honestly outplayed CLT the whole way.  Khalina and Zaha carried the team.  Zaha's wife on IG making it sound like he's gone come July. They're going to have to pay him or find a big time replacement because the team looks like pretty lost without him.

      No one's saying LaMelo has no blame we're responding to you acting like he's the reason they lost. The scapegoating and blaming the teams woes on his personality is where it's like Cam Newton all over again. It was a failure on multiple fronts and primarily Lee's. Dude said ON AIR pregame that they had to protect the paint and if that was his gameplan going in he couldn't have botched it more. As the commentators said Ball's a rhythm guy and Orlando was preventing him for getting any kind of flow going. I'm a normie watching on TV and said they needed to bait them into fouling to combat that. They didn't even try until the 2nd half when it was too late. I think it's fair to expect the star to overcome whatever but LaMelo was not the problem in that game and he's not what is holding the team back. He's the only reason they're flirting with being a great team. I kinda put the center play on Lee too. Moose is great until he's up against a big who can body him. We've always known that and that's what Kalkbrenner is for. I don't know if it would have changed much but Kalkbrenner should have had more minutes than him.  And moving forward with the center position, I just think it's the time to trade Diabate while his stock's high and that's not an indictment of his game. He's like an evolved combination of Biyombo and PJ. He's a great rim protector and the strength issue is just what you're going to have to deal with if you want that. But Kalkbrenner is perfectly capable of protecting the rim and we gotta get away from the undersized centers or it'll always be a problem for us.

      Honestly its why that Jalen Coker grab was a big deal.  I'd been warming up to the idea of a sadiq pick and was adamantly against a receiver...but this altered my train of thought.  I mean For instance, Cade Otton signed for 3 yr 30 mil contract...thats not dramatically different than the rookie payscale for #19 (4 year 20 mil with 5th year option), however you KNOW otton is decent...no clue if Sadiq will be anything.
