This fanbase loves the flash, but riddle me this. Nine months ago most were extremely excited about Corral and now we are burying them. Look at the Bungals. Took the top QB (which we didn't) but rather than addressing needs the next year, took the top WR. Instead of hoping we land a franchise QB (Ohio State QBs never pan out), we could have the best WR in the draft or even another position and we roll with an quarterback whisperer as coach or OC and roll with Corral, who has the tools and was rated a first rounder very early on. Yeah, he's coming off an injury, but we need some consistency. It's Bryce Young or nothing as we could land another Hurts. Speaking of Hurts, he was a third rounder.

Getting a QB early is teams that dont really have good talent around them. Trevor Lawrence is a good example. Went first to a horrible team. Usually when you are drafted lower you go to a team that is already decent or good. The weapons are already there. Purdy went to the 49ers as a sixth and looks better than rookie QBs in the same class. But if you put Kenny Pickett in for Purdy, the results would be the same or better. If you put Purdy on the Steelers it would be horrendous. It's about the pieces that are around, not necessarily the QB. A construction man can only build something when he has tools.

Purdy was a 7th rounder

Myles Murphy because Harbaugh, Payton or Reich would be a great coach/QBmentor for Corral.

One of those three and the scenario you pointed out could pay off big time.

Harbaugh is staying at Michigan and I'd say there's a 5% chance we give the Saints a draft haul for Peyton. 

I am totally on board with grabbing a top playmaker at 9. I know ppl aren't keen on Hooker but dude doesn't turn the ball over and is more mature at 24.

Yup. a lot of it has to do with coaching. I don’t think Tom Brady would’ve been tom Brady if Bobby Ross was his coach. 
 

coaching matters. Get the right coach in here and we have a much better shot at developing a quarterback regardless of who it is.

      This season only ends one way... We win this Sunday. Bryce is decent. We take back 1st place...   Only to then get our brakes blown off in the last two weeks.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Here's one of the most maddening things, that will be shown in full light over the next three weeks. The same people around here that called Darnold a bum and Mayfield a washed up over draft are also the ones saying Bryce is a catastrophe. Yeah, and I've been one who said Bryce wasn't big enough, brave enough or capable enough. I said back in the day that Darnold had a lot of fight in him and got shouted down. And on Mayfield, heck I didn't know, I just knew we had a very, very bad team that was run terribly. But I saw both of those guys go out there and resurrect their careers and be play-off bound since shaking the Carolina clay dust off their cleats. And we sat there and cat called their cars as they pulled out of the parking lot, laughing at what nobodies they were. Over the next three weeks, those two guys may just serve us sh!t sandwiches and then settle down to their just desserts. And then we'll probably let Bryce go off into the realm of other teams. And when that happens, will we see him coming back, better than before and we're left to re-sit this cycle all over again? Same naysayers, same results, same revolving carousel of ponies and pundits?  Will we end up looking like the Temu version of the San Diego Chargers back in the day watching Drew Brees come to fruition in the previously moribund Superdome while we whiff on a Manning pick just to be jilted for Phillip "Always a Bridesmaid" Rivers?
