If we're gonna fire Rhule and get a real NFL coaching staff and commit to building an NFL caliber OL, I'd LOVE to have Howell. If not, I hope for his sake he lands elsewhere.

 

But half the fun will be Rhule picking Howell and ruining his career so non-UNC fans can point and laugh.😉

Howell at pick 6.  fug that.   My god people he would be ruined in 3 years.   Pick a damn beast at tackle.    But you know this franchise is going to fug up our top 10 pick……..again.  

Yeah, it would most likely be a huge mistake to take Howell or any QB for that matter that high. But, this is the Panthers and making the wrong pick has become the norm the last few years.

I feel Howell could be the pick for the Panthers, especially if another QB or two gets selected before they pick. Tepper and Co know the UNC fans will buy tickets and merch to support one of their guys.

Ah yes, pick the 'butts in seats' choice and not the logical choice.  This is the same mentality that got exactly where we are today.  News flash, winning puts butts in seats and losing cures nothing no matter who the 'face of the franchise' is.

It's the logical choice if we seem him to be a franchise QB prospect. The next steps to that logical choice would be to focus on building an OL and make sure we have a bridge vet QB option on the roster. Sadly, that's probably Darnold given his contract situation.

I seriously doubt we view him as a franchise qb worthy of a top 6-8 pick.  He is rountinely going as the 4rth, 5thish qb in most mocks and the experts have him rated pretty much the same.   He is talented just probably not all world top 5ish overall pick.

A lot of folks have decency bias watching him play behind a trash OL with one WR. They'll go back and watch the last two seasons as well.

Coaching/Schemes can really help OL. It how the Pats develop solid lines with late round picks. It’s why we need a new coach and scheme…

We Hurney'd it. We paid trashy players as if they were decent evidently thinking that it would actually make them decent.

As for the Heels, not having two NFL caliber RBs exposed the weaknesses of the OL. They weren't that good last year, those RBs were. Then we could use the threat of play action to help them pass protect. This year, Sam Howell has had to play like Cam Newton because it's the only way we can move the ball. That and throwing to Josh Downs.

      Austin Corbett's move to center has seemed "inevitable"

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Very good points.  I also think you reach an age where your enthusiasm wanes, you quit learning and start relying on experience, and you lose touch with the younger generations of players--it happens.  And you are right about Bryce.  He is frustrated and he took a ton of heat--I can't imagine where he was mentally, but I have some idea.   Bryce is very smart-he needs to beat teams with his mind more than his arm.  He could not play chess when everyone around him was a confused pawn.  This season, he will use more motion to tip coverages and he will use more pre-snap reads.  Than means he should not be breaking the huddle with 12 seconds on the play clock and rushing to get the play off--there are so many things that can impact a QB's play, and there are many signs that he was provided the least possible chance to succeed.  In my view, this is his rookie season.  Last year was a fire drill.

      I also find it curious we decided to practice at home instead of up in NY… not sure I would have made that decision. Need a feel for the ice and boards. Maybe we’ll do a very limited morning skate tomorrow.

      Bryce Young vs Caleb Williams

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      It really was crazy. The NFL hype on him was nuts. And I think for our FO, we basically outsmarted ourselves. Some of that has to do with Tepper going against the grain and wanting show how much of a genius he is. Stroud should have been the guy. I thought it might end up being an NFL horror story of sending an undersized kid to get crushed as first overall. I'll give him this though he is tough as nails.  This season will give us a better measure of where he's at, I think. I was hoping he'd come back a little bigger muscle wise though.
