The EB Effect

Ron is an admirable man but I don't believe that he has the awareness and judgement as a HC to lead this team to a championship.

Before he went out and got Wentz he was asking Joe Gibbs what kind of QB they scouted back in the 80's.. I knew right there that he didn't know wtf he was doing when it came to QB's. Joe liked big strong pure pocket guys but the league has totally changed. Those kind of guys will be dead in a few years. Everyone is drafting guys that can run. Having one of the best athletes at the QB position is where the league is going- so when he got Wentz I just knew that was going to fail. Once Wentz lost his mobility he was done as a QB. Wentz wasn't good enough to just sit back and beat you throwing.

We've been down this road before with people buying into the likes of John Beck, Shane Mathews, Patrick Ramsey, Rex Grossman, Carson Wentz, etc. Too many names to even bother listing.

Howell has all the tools I'm convinced. His arm strength is underrated. He's accurate and mobile. His pocket presence is good, especially for as young as he is. Everyone forgets he had a 1st rd grade the year prior to him going pro. His oline regressed a lot his last year at UNC and lost Dyami. Howell has plenty of talent, and we're lucky to have him.

He lost a ton of weapons. He actually rushed for more yards that year. 24 td’s 9 int’s and over 3000 yards minus the losses around him. He is a first round talent.

Yes he did. The only thing he doesn't have has elite size and a huge arm. But his size is fine along with his arm. He's not too small and arm not too weak. There was talk he'd go high 1st round prior to the year he went pro. Love the interview he had in the Monday game also. He seems grounded and took accountability.

Elite size. Definitely not. Thats fine with me.

His arm is a cannon though. At the combine he led all passers with a 59 mph throw. Also extremely accurate with the deep ball.

The Sam Howell college stats thing is weird. It's like people are pretending his junior stats were shitty. He still had really good numbers, with a clearly inferior offense.

How many UNC guys from his junior year are in the NFL?

And, if he looked like Maye, and had the same exact stats the draft experts would have slobbed all over his knob.

We're not geniuses for picking him in the 5th round. We got lucky a lot of other teams were stupid. But I'm glad we were the team to end his fall.

4 Weeks in and this offense is already MUCH BETTER than Turner ever had them playing.

2 Games of 30 or more points and 3 games of at least 20+.

Last yr we barely sniffed 30 in any game.

I love what I'm seeing but would like BROB to run more

Yeah i feel like if we were putting up 30 spots last few years we would have won a ton of games. Now the D is giving up 30 spots. One of these weeks both units will show up for the same game. Hopefully Thursday.

The Bears aren't good, so the D should look great.

For all the moaning, we're a damn sight better team than we were this time last year. And probably going to get better.
