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.

    • This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY. 
    • The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.
    • I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
