Mental pushups aren't real pushups. That's where we're at. He can't escape blame.

Both things can be true. We could've handled his integration poorly and he could've not been very NFL ready. Honestly, I think that's exactly the case. Once we saw he wasn't ready he was put on the back burner.

Dude just stop. He clearly needs time to develop. QB1 in this class probably needs time unless you like Pickett. If he such a phenom he would be succeeding in spite of bad coaches. Burrow didn’t  have a great staff and neither did Baker yet they found success early. Corral can still be a good QB, just not this year. It’s why he dropped to the 3rd.

And let's be honest. We haven't really been in a great position to pick from the cream of the crop at any point since we released Cam either.

Fields/Mac/Slater were all realistic options last year. I’m still high on Horn, but we have left OL (especially LT) and QB unanswered too long. Those are arguably the 2 most important positions in the NFL.

He wasn't ready for full speed. Throwing or running. Reps are physically and mentally beneficial. Without reps,without practicing, playing football at a high level of intensity and to be expected as a rookie to come in and play without that support. Of course something like this would happen.

Nothing takes the place of actually playing football. Studying football doesn't get you ready to play football. He wasn't valued, he wasn't appreciated and was only an afterthought as far as our amateur coach was concerned.

He set Matt Corral up for failure, not success, he never wanted him. 4th string QBs usually WON'T be ready by design, Matt Rhules design.

But... Baker, Baker, Baker, smh... follow Matt Rhule into that dark hole if you want to, I'll watch from back here.

Agreed 100%

Any other team would be giving a 3rd round rookie valuable reps.  It amazes me that so many want to put the blame for his performance on him instead of the inept HC.  I don't know what Rhule's problem was with Corral but it was very clear that he wasn't going to give him a good look.

There have been several mid round QBs to excel in the NFL their first year.  The difference is those mid-round picks were put ahead of a journeyman QB on the depth chart.  They were given valuable Reps with a competent line in front of him.  They were given every chance to succeed.   Rhule gave him every chance to fail.  

That IMO is a valid reason to fire him on the spot.   Tepper won't but he should.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

I base everything opinion on what people have actually accomplished. You can say whatever but Matt Corral accomplished enough as a college QB to be projected a first rounder, none of the pundits or anybody else had him down as a third rounder, so to say he's in the same league as a projected third rounder is disingenuous. You guys want to bang on the kid who in 2021 and 2022 was a top SEC QB.

Matt Rhule has never been a top anything...oh I forgot, loser, bungler, lover of used sh*tty underwear. You can have him. I'm praying for Jim Harbaugh, our QB problems would be over. HE knows how to value and develop young QBs. Takes em to Superbowl even with limitations like Kaep.

This is pretty much my opinion too. Legit talent is optimized by good coaching but legit talent finds a way to show they belong even when surrounded by idiots.

Hell Cam took Rivera to the Super Bowl. Look no further than our own franchise…

The rookie has impressed in very limited time. The coach has done everything to keep this guy under wraps. Idiot doesn't describe Rhule he's a bigger obstacle than an "idiot".

Fhulish is a category unto itself. Once he's gone you'll recognize just how destructive he was.

    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
