The Sam Howell Thread

Anyone who is sold right now on Sam being a stud or a dud is crazy. We still need to see a lot more.


Agreed. It’s just common sense after 7 games. But based on those 7 games id say he is at least closer to stud than dud. Most passing yards after 7 games in franchise history would point in that direction.

Definitely can't agree there, he's made some very high level throws.

I was trying not to take the bait on that one but he has definitely wowed at times with some of his throws.

He's trending in the right direction for sure. He's shown enough where we should feel good about him finishing out the season as the starter.

EB stinks. We are six games in and teams that can't rush are getting sacks. He needs to make sure that while his QB is still a work in progress, keep calling plays that gets the ball out of his hands. Do your best to stay out of 3rd and long. Have a better play action game. Call some more screens. Be committed to the run. Protection should be FIRST, not getting 5 wr's out all the time. We're not that offense right now... I just don't think EB is doing enough.

I just think we need to hire Ben Johnson to be honest. When I see a QB like Goff, who was throw out like trash in LA, playing his best ball you have to take notice. Why is he playing so well? He's only been sacked 10 times. Sam 34.

Playing Rodriguez more would help, he runs hard and gains yards, he’s also excellent at blitz protection

Sam needs some help out there…run the ball more and anyone notice Cornelius Lucas was fucking good especially at pass protection the other day?

No doubt. Will be an interesting situation if he finishes the season on the same trajectory( meaning he continues to flash and reduces the sacks … winds up like a top 10-15 quarterback), but we wind up with a top 5 pick and Maye or Williams is sitting there. Do we start again at quarterback or do we take a highly touted OT? I hope we don’t wind up in that position for obvious reasons but it would be quite the decision to make.

He certainly was and people definitely noticed, but we probably won’t see him again because Ron gonna Ron.

Kind of hard to picture finishing with a top 5 pick especially if Sam continues to improve.

It is but don’t underestimate our ability to find new and innovative ways to lose. Lol.
