The Sam Howell Thread

Honestly, does he have a running game and bottom 5 Oline in the league?

In this random article we are ranked 19th on the o line

The offensive issues are EB Sam and oline that order

Watch hurts and tau tonight ; Sam Howell is 100% not their level


Not many are but howells problem is he makes some Horrible decisions, just throwing the ball up is not a rookie mistake that’s just being wreck-less with the ball.

I agree that he has no real run game (Brob and AG have no line either tho)

I think as the year goes on we will find that SH is a solid NFL QB but not a franchise guy

I 100% agree

The worst thing Sam can do to us is flash like he is something and we don’t pursue a QB next season

Ron Rivera needs to bench Sam Howell for Jacoby Brissett if he wants to keep his job

The Commanders have lost four of their past five games to drop to 3-4 on the season after Sunday's loss to the injury-shredded Giants. Howell, the second-year quarterback out of North Carolina, has been Washington's starter since the beginning of the season and has shown some flashes of what he can do, but he has also been incredibly reckless.

He was sacked six times Sunday, which sounds like a lot unless you've been paying attention to Howell's season. He has been sacked at least four times in each of the Commanders' seven games and a total of 40 times so far this year. Since sacks became an official stat in 1963, the only quarterback who has been sacked more times in the first seven games of a season is David Carr, who was sacked 43 times in the first seven games of his 2002 season. And Howell has also thrown seven interceptions and fumbled once.

Verdict: NOT AN OVERREACTION

I don't see how the Commanders can keep running Howell out there if he's going to keep putting himself and the ball in harm's way this often. I mean, he was sacked six times on Sunday by the Giants. New York had a total of five sacks all season prior to Sunday's game. Howell is on pace to be sacked 97 times this season. The all-time record is 76 by ... yeah, David Carr in 2002. That was a rough year. But Howell is on pace to break that record this season in Week 15, and only because Washington has a bye in Week 14. There's no way to sustain an offense when your quarterback is constantly moving the chains backward instead of forward.

The Commanders are under new ownership, which generally calls a coach's job into some level of question. There is obviously time for them to salvage their season. Brissett has been a competent-to-good starting quarterback in the NFL, finishing eighth in QBR last season with Cleveland (62.0), and could at least calm things down a bit while Howell works in a backup role on the parts of his game that need ironing out.

It might be a good idea to make this move before it's too late.

I can't get on board with benching Howell for Brissett. I could get on board with showing EB the door though, and letting Barney Rubble call the offense.

i agree but i am not sure EB is all that bad

I think we have something in Sam and EB what exactly we have i am unsure because the parts around them are so broken

It is equal to asking Richard Petty to race the Daytona 500 with a honda civic; he was a amazing driver but i mean in a civic what is he going to do

I'm so over EB. I'd show his ass the door.

I don't see them benching SH unless he has another 4 INT Game this week

Yesterday was the 1st game where I was more pessimistic about Howell than optimistic.

He didn't look good. But he's young, and has a bad playcaller and terrible line, so he's behind the 8 ball even on his best days.

I still think he has the talent to be a solid starter in this league. But if we finish with a top 10 pick, I wouldn't blame the new GM for drafting their guy at QB. Then we would have a great backup for at least 2 more seasons at a discount rate, or possibly trade him for a top half of the draft pick.

Mine was the Bills game.. After that day I kinda figured he was a true 5th RD pick
