The Sam Howell Thread

We are lucky that we finally have a full-on rebuilt, with hopefully a competent owner, that will not meddle the way that Snyder did.

The only good thing about this season, is that ownership can move on from this regime and we have the #2 pick.

Can't wait for it to be torn down.

Meks I give you credit for being committed to him.
Statistically, Sam finished as the worst QB to start a full season.
Brissett lead the NFL in passer rating.

Seasons over, I’m thankful for Sam delivering us the 2nd overall pick. We couldn’t have done that with Brissett.

I suspect Denver will pick up Howell after we cut him so they too can tank for a QB.

Lol hey just call it as I feel that's all. Just happy the dumpster fire embers are getting the bucket of water asap.

we're not cutting howell, he's cheap and better than anyone else we could get for the price.

No way.
Sam is the ex. You don’t keep them around.
Ex thought to be franchise QB
Ex team captain

You don’t bring in a rookie QB and leave the ex just sitting there hoping to get another shot.
If they draft a QB #2, they will have a veteran QB as backup.

With that said the new GM won't look past Howell's struggles and may bring in veteran QB competition for the back up QB role.......Sam Howell hasn't earned the back up QB spot either .

Howell is still good friends with Drake Maye, so if he is the pick then makes great sense to keep Sam around to ease his transition to the NFL

a vet qb would be about a 5m/year difference. Even if he's the #3, he's essentially free. People are being weird about this for no reason.

Agree. Howell has shown enough that the new regime would at least view him as a developmental piece. His floor is a solid no. 2…that has significant value where most starting QB miss time during the season in today’s NFL.

Maybe but it is also awkward like hey bud welcome to the team…here is my job. Also Sam isn’t exactly a seasoned vet who understands what it takes to have a career in the NFL. All I know is they need to take one of the big 3 quarterbacks with the second pick.
