The Sam Howell Thread

While the season has been a disaster I don't think it's fair to say the coaches have quit. EB especially wants to put good tape out there with the offense for whatever his next opportunity is.


Quit was a poor choice of words. I should have said failed.

Oh I'm not closing the book on his career as a starter, he flashed potential earlier in the year. Just saying he appears to have regressed. His accuracy and vision is off and he appears to be playing timid.


The pressure he has faced would make Andre the Giant timid.

I will confess I am not as high on Sam as I was at the beginning of the season but in the end my opinion is useless. I think next year we will have the first in over 25 years a GM to HC formula that the rest of the league has used. I trust they will have the film they need on Sam to make a decision that will set us on the right path.

I just don't see how he is better than Penix.

I'm not a fan of Penix at all . . . i see a big BUST with him.

If I'm the new GM and I'm confident of turning this franchise around quickly with much better coaching, better use of players already here, some sensible FA pickups and a good draft. I'm asking myself, "Am I going to be picking this high again in the near future?".

If the answer to that is no, it becomes very, very difficult not to take one of the top 2/3 QBs.

I think Sam is definitely back next season, but as the starter? Nah. We'll draft someone or sign someone.

If someone told you back in August Sam was going to lead the league in INTs, pick sixes, and sacks, there's no way you'd say yeah, sign me up for some more of that.

He's faced the same pressure all year - he was handling it better until the last month or so.

I think the decision would be much tougher if he hadn't played so terribly the last 2-3 weeks. He needs to make some plays these last 3 weeks otherwise new staff is going to move on.

I personally also think the scheme and playcalling is hot trash. All it does is attribute to Sam looking and playing worse.
