Howell's performance was impacted by a mediocre OL (he should fit in nicely here lmao).  Kid was sacked 100+ times in 3 seasons.

He also lost his top weapons to the 2021 NFL Draft:

  • 2nd Round: Javonte Williams, RB, Denver Broncos
  • 3rd Round: Dyami Brown, WR, Washington Football Team
  • 4th Round: Michael Carter, RB, New York Jets
  • 6th Round: Dazz Newsome, WR, Chicago Bears

To be honest, I expected his numbers to take a dip considering he lost his WR1, WR2, RB1, and RB2 (and all are producing in their rookie seasons as pros). The fact that, while they did drop, he still seemed to consistently perform speaks highly for him.

People here don’t seem to understand or comprehend that UNC football is NOT UGA or Bama or Ohio State football where they just get crops and crops of these NFL prospects and can easily replace them. It is a big deal when UNC loses big time skill position players like we did last year because it takes a little bit of time and effort to replace them. Carolina has to actually develop some guys and not just operate a revolving door at WR, RB, etc. 

like I’ve said 1000x before the hate on Howell and Trubisky and UNC football on teh huddle is basically because there are a numerous amount of Duke fans, state fans, and people that don’t like the UNC basketball team. It’s funny to read a lot of the comments because it is painfully obvious I am correct. Ignorance is bliss.

Quietly, one of the biggest losses for UNC was Beau Corrales. He's not an NFL prospect, but he is a darn good college possession receiver who was expected to be able to keep us from being a one man receiving crew until we could develop some youth. Instead, he got injured and left us with a damn good WR in Josh Downs but nothing outside of not yet ready youth beyond him.

Agree with this. Security blanket WR who had good hands and a solid connection with Sam. Would have helped tremendously this year not only Sam but also Downs and Morales.

Alright, I just did a 15ish minute dive looking at this dude as I dont remember seeing anything from him last year.  His highlight film is nice.  He has a classic throwing motion eerily similar to Kerry Collins.  He also has great size which I didnt know beforehand.  He appears to have a strong arm and no problem throwing to the sidelines deep.  He seems to process his reads rather quickly and dumps off when the heat gets a bit hot.   He even had a couple of off platform throws that was nice to see.

 

Yeah man he looks like a legit prospect although I dont see much in regards to his athleticism or ability to move out of the pocket which may be a red flag but I dont know.  I just watched 2 videos, will definitely check him out next season.

 

 

He's not Manning levels of immobile, but he can move a little:

Again lifelong UNC fan. Lived in Chapel Hill as a child. Went to games in Carmichael including the world famous Duke Carolina game. Grandfather Rams club member.

I think Howell is probably a career backup.

The only way Sammy Big Gun is a “career backup” is if he get drafted by the Chiefs.

      I really like the way this team is trending. Morgan and Canales rookie campaign saw them do some questionable picks but, they also did some really good things. Especially addressing the offensive line.  Young had such a disastrous rookie season where his confidence was nowhere to be seen.  You can attribute part of this to a terrible offensive line.  So, we focused on the O-line.   We then brought in several defensive free agents that were supposed to compliment Brown.  Once Brown went down those players could not hold the line.  2025 we focused on defense in Free Agency and brought in several good players.  We then added more talent in the draft.  I think we have competition in several areas where Vets are not guaranteed to be starters.  Our offensive line is pretty set with some good backups.  Our defensive line is going to be a war for who comes out to be the starters.  All in All, we are leaps and bounds much better than 2023 roster.  Canales made some rookie head coach mistakes but grew as the season progressed.  He got our QB, who was starting to look like a huge bust, playing with confidence and poise.  Now it appears Young is moving upwards.  Maybe he is a QB whisperer.  After Young started to play better our offense was fun to watch.  Morgan knows football and knows what he wants in his players.  It appears to me that not only are these players he's drafted really good and got great value for them, but they are also high motor, intense players. Our defense, in the past, was always the key to our success.  I think Morgan is building a great defense. I know it is too soon to tell but I believe we may have a tandem that will be around a long time.  It would be nice to see Morgan/Canales be in the same class as Lynch/Shanahan and Beane/McDermott.   I know many Huddlers will overreact, but I truly believe we have a tandem that will be around a long time. TIME WILL TELL. Go Panthers

      I am actually really excited about this kid. One thing that really jumped off watching his highlights was he almost is too fast or almost over pursues. You can get away with that stuff in college but the NFL these guys are stronger and more "slippery".  Little things that can be corrected but he seems to have a motor which is always a plus!
