If new ownership is dictating on the QB right away, we're in trouble.

Yeah I don’t get the whole “you can’t draft a QB until a new owner “ I thought Ron and co. call the shots?

If Ron has any chance of sticking here then gambling on a guy who will likely take a year to develop is shear stupidity and he would deserve to get fired. Whoever replaces him will not be tied to the pick so wont be invested in developing him, which is what Richardson needs. It would in all likelihood be a wasted pick.

The safest pick for Ron is someone who can start day one and improve the team.

[punch it in]

I dont think Ron is drafting based on ownership. I just would not draft a quarterback from this class in the first round period. Not with the holes we got. Sam is our project quarterback. Don’t need two. Build around the first project and give him a chance. If Hendon Hooker is drafted in round two I would be less upset because apparently he is rising fast. If Sam pans out and we got Hooker in the wings I can live with the “problem”. Plus Jamf will never have to buy another jersey again.

100%. Plus if you go into camp with those 3 QBs and Brissett winds up starting week 1, you look like an idiot, because the team will be looking to draft yet another QB next year and you have 2 more wasted picks. And probably another wasted season. Can't see RR doing this.

He needs to hit the weight room and shave that beard. He looks like a total bro. When I think of the stereotypical frat bro, I think of someone that looks exactly like Howell.

Me too, I think EB is the biggest offseason transaction outside Snyder being gone.

Who EB chooses from the TE group to get involved in the offense. I’d watch Turner or Rogers.

I see a zone running game with power backs, an advance screen game, and more big play opportunities with our receivers

[skinsfan69]

The off season is filled w/ Kool Aid and optimism. EB does not have Mahomes. He has a QB who was drafted in the 5th round that Ron didn't even want to start in the last game until Taylor told him to.

My concern is do we have someone to even develop Sam? Is the line good enough to protect him? How fast can he learn this new offense and will he gel w/ EB? Will EB be able to run an offense?

As usual there are just too many question marks around the QB, the o-line, the head coach and the coordinator. Just inside the division we have the worst QB and probably the worst head coach, although I don't think highly of dough boy in Dallas.

Probably looking at 6 wins on the low side and 9 at the very highest.

I think EB recognizes it’s not an easy journey with an unproven QB, but the free agent moves on the Oline and drafting of a RB while cutting another (JD)…the running game will be leaned on. Also, look for a balling screen game :Short, easy throws, misdirection, shovel passes….it’s gonna be fun to watch.

I love how some of us are obsessed with the fact that Howell was drafted in the 5th round and ignore the fact that the NFL community had 2nd/3rd round grade on him.
