He was so worth that in my opinion. Watch him begin to shine this season

I'm still shocked at how wrong the NFL got that evaluation. It's like they forgot who he was as a player just because he had to turn into a poor man's The Golden Calf of Bristol his final year of college due to losing his entire supporting cast of skill position players to the NFL draft. UNC isn't Bad or UGA or OSU. They can't just bounce right back from that type of talent exodus, the depth of talent just isn't there.

Thank God the QB contracts are finally getting reasonable. 

52 million dollars a year for a Justin Herbert is absolutely insane.  WTF is Burrow gonna get?  60 a year?  Its untenable to have 1 player, regardless of how talented, eat up 25% of your salary cap.  Something has got to give.

I didnt think he was worth a top 10 pick or probably even a first round one either but he was IMO a damn lock for us to take him in the 4rth or 5th just as another cheap dart to keep throwing at the position.

Matt Rhule would have buried him just like he did with Corral and we’d be sitting here in the same position with Bryce Young and Howell instead of Corral just hoping he shows enough in preseason to develop some trade value.

Sadly, this is probably accurate.

Rhule had the Midass touch. Everything he touched turned to sh-t

For our part, I know the word was that Corral was McAdoo's pick.

They could do something like the MLS or NBA luxury tax, and give some kind of QB position exemption on the salary cap. Like 50% is not counted towards the cap space. Of course, the owners probably wouldn't like it because that's more money out of their pockets, because they don't make enough money on tv deals, tickets, merchandise, food, etc...

I don't disagree at all with the point that Rhule is a clown but Howell played in 1 game last year and only because Wentz and Heinicke got hurt/sucked. It's not like he started a season and got a ton of reps/time. 

Why did I read Wentz and Heinicke as Weinke?

Serious question, Huddle: Who's worse Patrica or Rhule?

Patricia is worse. Ruhle at least has some credibility left in the college game. One of the funniest (not in a good way) things I’ve seen a HC do was when Patricia talked down to a reporter about sitting up straight and tucking a shirt in to have respect for the process when he looks like he should be a line cook at a dennys.

Belicheat and friends still embracing Aaron Hernandez.
