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.

    • Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership
    • After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...  
    • Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning.
