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.

Have fun.

Well, there's a multitude but I'm not sure to which you are referring specifically? The failure in scouting?

Scouting and developing.  If they evaluated this kid and had a first on him and then he dropped like a rock then that’s telling.   The fact that fitt gave up 2 thirds is even more concerning.

It’s ok to like both Baker and Corral. You do realize that right? Baker was the one talking/helping Corral the most. I mean one could argue Baker had a shitty staff developing him as a rookie also.

Meh, every team makes mistakes on evaluation through the draft process. I still don't think we gave up much on the chance that they would catch lightning in a bottle with Corral. They just realized quickly that they hadn't I think.

Yeah, maybe but the chance just seems so very minuscule from my perspective. I think once it was realized that Corral just wasn't anywhere close to pro-ready that his chances of ever starting here were completely thrown out the window.

That's poppycock. McAdoo had him as QB1 on their big board. That's pro ready and McAdoo is better than any of us at that evaluation.

What REALLY happened was Matt Rhule.

It was a 4th and future 3rd, but yeah I get your point. A 4th and future 3rd doesn’t scream this guy will become our starter IMO.

This will be the 3rd (4rth if baker tanks) attempt at evaluating a qb.  Thats a problem

 

If you had a first round grade on him as you say and he is that far behind, thats a problem

 

I wouldnt want either Fitt or Rhule anywhere near scouting and drafting the next qb

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
