And the conversation is relevant because there are those who are impressed with the pats taking a rider on him after we traded up with them to get him.

I just don't see any real win in this for them mainly because of what I see here. They got an extra pick that they used on a jag LB. Theyve got a mediocre QB starting for them that they drafted in the first round that belichick doesn't even like and a guy in the practice squad who played better than the #1 guy last year and then they go and pick up our cast off to use as a backup?

Sounds like they're flailing.

Bellichick has lost his magic

That's the point I didn't watch it, don't care to watch it. Just tired of seeing us discuss a QB who is not even a NFL level backup right now.

I said it when we traded for Darnold. You can't fix panic.

And you know some of us might wanna check out the O-line, wr’s etc regardless of who’s in at qb. Anytime you can get all 22 angles is interesting to watch

Yeah there is no patience. Glad we moved on from Darnold, but I never understood trading for him, knowing he was a project, and then being shocked when he wasn’t the fix in year 1.

 

My brother in law is like that. Buys project cars to fix…doesn’t fix them…then sells them for a loss after a couple years. 
 

Don’t get a project if you won’t follow through.

No you didn’t. You were so excited when we got darnold. I remember you threw that huge party at local pizza spot and invited the huddle to come and celebrate.

 

by the way, how did that turn out?

He wasn't as excited as when we traded for THE Baker Mayfield.

The Darnold trade was always trash. We traded valuable assets for a proven trash QB. The Mayfield trade actually made some sense. We traded a 5th rounder for a guy who had actually had a decent season in the NFL and showed some promise as an NFL QB. No, it didn't work out but trading a 5th for Baker Mayfield was the best bad QB deal we made under Rhule and was a far better gamble than paying Teddy Bridgewater big money or trading legit assets for Sam Darnold.

but then after a year of him you just lose interest because he's just not gaining ground.

I can see your point.  Belichiken isn't know for his QB development except for Brady.  I think Brady had those talents before NewEngland.

[Evil Hurney]

Watched the video. Corral has tools that make him worth developing. However, he should NOT be counted on to win an NFL game with his arm this season. 

I do NOT anticipate the Patriots will actually be able to develop him though. Bill doesn't have that kind of track record. Mac came in as a largely finished product (and hasn't really gotten much better) and Brady managed to survive long enough to become an outlier.

The Patriot's schedule is pretty brutal early (there is a very real chance they start 0-4 or 1-3), and I could see calls for the new kid (i.e. Corral) by midseason.
