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.

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.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
