Losing Out is the Way

Tf has Howell done? He was the third best QB in NC this year

This is your opinion. Many, many others do not share it. Completely gutted offense at Carolina this year and if it weren’t for “Big Time” Sammy Howell then UNC probably only wins 2 games all season. Watch college FB bro lol

I second that, lol top 3. He will be lucky to get drafted in round 1

Howell is a first round LOCK. Wouldn’t surprise me if he is the first or second QB off the board and we all Know QBs go early. 
 

big time arm, tough, mobile, high IQ, moxie, everything you look for in a QB.

Hell no... we ain't losing out. Not by design anyway.

Besides if you want to draft a QB...next year is the draft for that. 

Build up the damn Oline (and I mean build it STRONG), solidify the defense and have it ready for the Qb of the future if he's not currently on our roster.

That's why if I'm Rhule, I'm playing BC and Brown for the rest of the schedule to see exactly what we have to work with moving forward.

Top 5 are:

Pickett

Howell

Corral

Willis

Strong or Ridder

 

Willis is garbage. Only reason he’s not 5th is because of Strong’s bum leg.

Pickett’s stock is going to sky rocket at the combine. Howell’s experience at UNC for 3 years starting is going to be important. Also have to remember he lost about everyone but Josh Downs before the season.

You people keep saying this BS and yet we are 22-38 the last four years and 5-31 after decent starts I’m the last four years. We have been a losing team for the past four years. Our culture is a losing team that gives up like our top 7 pick from 2020 that had to be benched to focus.

I mean stop acting like we aren’t a bottom tier team. Since Newton was drafted, we weren’t talking about draft slots until we got to 2018 when we finished 1-7.

Also, to those who say you shouldn’t want to lose or care about draft slots, we were 5-11 the last two years. Here’s what would have happened if we were 4-12 instead:

1. We’d have Justin Herbert at QB instead of Brown.

2. SF would have given us 3 1sts and 1 3rd for our pick. We’d have Slater, an extra 1st and 3rd in 2022 and an extra 1st in 2023 instead of Horn.

I’d 110% rather have gone 4-12 in both years than feeling good about our culture because we were 5-11.

If we drafted Herbert my guess is that we wouldn’t have had the draft slot to get 3 1sts from the niners the following year. 
 

still though you’re right. Having Herbert changes the entire direction of this franchise. Matt rhule wanted to trade down, Hurney wanted Herbert. Matt rhule needs to be fired. 
 

And even if we didn’t trade up for Herbert, fine. This staff double downed on their stupidity and passed on fields for Darnold. Too many mistakes to keep this staff in place. They need to go.

    • Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances. 
    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
    • I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
