Patriots claim Matt Corral

I'm happy for Corral.  He has a little talent and I would have preferred him be the back up rather than Andy Dalton.   Dalton gives us no chance at developing an asset behind Bryce.  If Bryce gets hurt I would much rather have Corral being developed so maybe we could get something in return for him down the road.

We drafted Corral knowing that he wasn't running a pro style offense in Ole Miss.  We knew that he was going to take time to develop and transition to an NFL offense.  It's the same thing we did with Will Grier.  I think, just like Grier, we have another player that we pulled the plug on their development too early, and he will end up being a good backup.  

When you draft qbs out of spread offenses in college, it take abouts 3 seasons for them to fully adapt to the pro game. If we weren't willing to accept this then we should have never drafted him to begin with, but that's a Fitterer mistake.  

When it comes to GM's, their track records shouldn't be judged on 1st round picks, those are easy, but rather the later rounds.  Fitterer has an absolute dogshit track record when it comes to mid to late round picks.  He has also traded assets to move up for these picks that haven't worked out.

Some of the picks like Grier, may have worked out, but Fitt was too impatient to allow the development to happen.

What brilliant thing has belichick done since Brady walked out?

Was it replacing offensive coaches with defensive coaches?

Someone show me how me how he's currently smarter than everyone else.

He cheats better--spy cams and deflate gate.  Cutting edge

Dalton being the backup is to best develop our most important asset - Bryce.

Really not any different from the Hurney years but still people hype him up. After all the "Finesserer" circle jerks it turns out we're the ones getting finessed more often than not.

    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
    • You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
