If he's got any pride he'll go elsewhere.

I'm gonna be honest. I can't imagine he's gonna have a choice. Will be Carolina or off to sell insurance.

Are we sure that was a Fitt pick?

 

I think Rhule made that pick.

What’s more likely?  That Matt Rhule wanted Corral so he told Fitterer to trade up for him, then proceeded to act like he never existed?  Or Fitterer wanted Corral and Rhule never wanted a rookie QB so he acted like he never existed?

We will never know but I think fitt got hired he read the room, saw the train wreck and went with it.  Probably didn’t sabotage rhule but simply let Rhule hang himself. 
 

that said I don’t know how much I blame fitt for draft picks but am willing to give him benefit of the doubt

I thought it was widely reported that Corral was McAdoo's favorite QB in the class?

Fear isn't the right word.

I didn't fear Brady, but we went 1-5 against him, right?

Maye in TB or Atlanta would set them up for long term success, imo. I want Drake to have a great NFL career so I don't want the mixed emotions of him sharing a division with the Panthers.

I wouldn't be shook. I'd be extremely disappointed.

2-0 when we actually had a franchise QB!

This!

 

And im a UNC diehard myself. You had people saying Drake Maye was better than Caleb Williams last season. Like stop it. Caleb is just on a different level. Maye struggled down the stretch in the weak ACC conference. He's legit but he's not better than Caleb.

 

UNC fans need to chill out overhyping these QB's.

Just wait until Caleb Williams measures 5’11 at the combine.

Fitt seems like a good guy and will fit in.

 

I think Tepper/Rhule had a plan and Fitt just went with it. The Fitt slander around here is crazy. He's just a loyal soldier that is surrounded by a clueless owner.

 

Wish Rhule/Tepper could have been a package deal.

Here's the potential irony of drafting Corral...

Drafting Howell could have potentially saved Rhule's job and/or prevented us from selecting Bryce this year. Yes, we would have had a starting NFL QB, DJ Moore, and a lot of extra picks. BUT, even as a Tar Heel football fan, I think Bryce may have a better career than Howell, and it would not have been for the Panthers without Corral.

I doubt that it would have made any difference.  . 

The Process would have "red shirted" Howell the same way he did Corral.  He had a stable of three lousy QBs ahead of Corral or Howell, and the most vulnerable of those lousy QBs was his pet.  He was betting his job on the newest lousy QB.

Whoever they brought in, whether it was Corral, Howell, or Mahomes was not going to have an easy time of it, was going to get no coaching, and may have been stashed on IR hurt or not. We would not have known any more about Howell than we did Corral heading into the draft this year.

In Rhule's world, freshman do not play on the varsity team.

Corrals last preseason game was pretty bad.  Can't help but wonder if that game doomed him

[LinvilleGorge]

Watch the video of Rhule and Fitts talking about the Corral trade and pick.

Rhule couldn't care less. It just seems really obvious he had no desire not just for Corral, but a rookie QB period. Seems like Fitts convinced him that they had to take a QB and Rhule was probably like well fine then, this guy and Fitts was likely high on Corral too so it worked out. Well, it didn't work out but they were in agreement. Maybe it was McAdoo banging the table for Corral but I'm not sure how much sway he had in the room. McAdoo just seemed like someone that was forced onto Rhule that Rhule never really wanted to begin with. Tepper probably told him to get some real NFL experience on his staff and he came up with McAdoo and Wilks.

Unless he shrunk he sure looks taller than Stroud in this pic...

Angle.

He's listed at 6'1" and I think about right. I'd be shocked if he comes in under 6'.
