This is particularly damaging.  If your locker room doesn't believe it's a meritocracy, then you've lost them.

When an agent is telling his players "You can go to Carolina for more money but the whole system sucks",  it's kinda fuged from the get go

We are on the way to be the new browns, holy poo

Already there. Just laugh and check out until a new staff takes over.

If any boss of mine in my life said some wierd petty stuff like this he/she would immediately lose all credibility. 

Quite a few guys have been rolling their eyes at his antics since the beginning. That group exercise/punishment thing being one.

If Rhule is still here I really hope we don't.

I've said it a few times now, but I think they will, even though they should go Oline. Tepper needs something to sell to fans, which a new QB gives him, and Howell checks off several boxes.

• Howell is a local kid, which appeals to certain parts of the fanbase.
• Howell is an UNC guy, which is a massive draw to the UNC fanbase.
• Howell is a fairly good QB, even if he has issues, which most do coming out of college.
• A shiny new QB appeals to and appeases a lot of fans.

Worked with the Grier pick for about 2minutes so why not?

So, because it's Howell, the fanbase will overlook the fact he'll perform at a Darnold or Grier level?

There is a big difference in confidence and arrogance.  The latter is dangerous.

Rhule needs to go.

You know, you're on to something. That's Rhule's biggest problem; he's an arrogant know-it-all, without the ability to adapt--game situation or otherwise--and unwilling to take any responsibility for players' retrogression as a team and as individuals.

Yes. They did it with Cam.

As onmyown points out, certain parts of the fanbase will overlook anything for their guy. If Howell is the pick, it'll be the UNC homers this time.

Letting a lame duck HC draft a top 10 QB is pointless.   New HC should be able to pick his own QB if tasked with building up a team.   
 

If Rhule stays, GM should control the pick and it should be on the line.

The “process” is ass. What started as a 3 yr rebuild will now take 6 or more to undue this mess.
