The Sam Howell Thread

I feel confident he can lead this team. I was a little shaky before, but this preseason he’s lead like 4 scoring drives and looks the part

[punch it in]

Ill just make it simple and say better than anything Taylor Heinekie or Carson Wentz could do and we certainly are not going to lose games because of our quarterback. Hopefully he doesn’t get hurt because I thought Brissett looked like a nervous child last night. We didn’t address the Oline seriously in the draft and that will haunt us this year. Should have taken a G instead of Martin.

Jake from State Fromm looked better than Brissett last night.

Way better. I was surprised about how bad Jacoby looked.

What has impressed me so far is Sam's poise. He is cool and calm back there and thats a huge trait for a young QB. I think he's legit

So poised. I think he has a giant chip on his shoulder because of falling in the draft. Extremely accurate. Knows when to run. Has a great deep ball. Smart.
He needs to learn when to throw it away and when to slide - couple times last night looked like he was trying to do to much instead of living for another down, but that is to be expected for basically a rookie. Plus id rather him looking to do too much than puss out and play scared. Dude is definitely not afraid.

Last night's game has to be taken with a grain of salt since he played against the second string and a guys who will get cut but he once again looked like he has the potential to be legit.

Yes it was against the 2's so we do need to pump the brakes some but man he looks the part!

Yet he beat the Cowboys in a meaningful playoff game for them. Howell has improved a lot since and keeps improving every game, he has learned a new offense over night. He’s the real deal, better than Cousins and
We’ll be like Joey T or even better.

I'm not going to hype up the win more than it needs to, but the Ravens are always putting extra efforts on these preseason games.

[sdskinsfan2001]

You can only play against who is on the field. He did exactly what you want a starting QB to do in that situation. Knit-pickers are gonna knit-pick though. Also, this dude has 1 career regular season start. He has been a No. 2 or 3 himself up until a couple weeks ago.

Ravens defense brought constant blitzers…not a normal in preseason

Howell handled it well

I noticed that. They were constantly sending pressure and their db's were playing tight man to man. They were playing to win that game no doubt.

Yes they do that every year, despite their protests to the contrary.
