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.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
