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

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

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.

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.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
