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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
