The Sam Howell Thread

Several of us reiterated that to him last night. McLaurin has proven in his brief career that's he's a WR1 even with average-to-decent QBs. Football guys has him rated in the top 10-15 wideouts in the league. The receivers are getting open, but Howell isn't exactly force feeding any particular receiver and he frequently will waste an opportunity due to indecisiveness.

If Howell were to volume-toss to McLaurin then he'd change his tune about him being a WR2. Then again, it seems like this is the hill he wanna die on.

The scheme also gives you reads and majority of the time if read 1 ISN'T Terry, Sam has to throw to read 1 who's open before he gets pummeled. The system did not look Terry's way last night you could see it on the field

On his current pace, Howell would be sacked 99 times this season.

They'll be burying him in Arlington Cemetery, afterwards.

I like Sam Howell but the damage he is taking every week I worry he is going to get shell shocked like David Carr, if he does not end up getting injured before then from being hit / sacked so much every game.

EB's schemes so far are getting Howell killed out there. I doubt RR could think up anything better....

[Chief X_Phackter]

Agreed. Maybe along with D coordinator, we should be looking for an O-line coach...someone who can get these fuckers on the same page, use better technique, something.

[punch it in]

We need coaches and players. Right now we have no staff (nobody else was coming here under Dan, that is all about to change), and on our 53 man roster right now I think maybe 20 are keepers. Obviously more than 20 are coming back hopefully a new staff gets more out of them. Outside wr’s/rb’s and d line shit gets real weak real fast. Quarterback seems ok. Im praying Harris gets some true football minds in here and next year isn’t another building year, that instead they make us consistently competitive right away. We got quite a train wreck on our hands because of that dude who skipped town with his billions.

Howell starts the game playing like shit but it’s on the D for putting him in a hole?

Howell supporters need to officially come out of the closet with how hard you guys ride his dick.
Just admit you love his beard. Reminds you of the time you loved George Michael in Wham.

I need you to stow this absolutely preposterous shit about QB1 asap. No matter how many blatantly obvious facts or stats that are put in front of you - you hate this kid.

Just give it up jam. If anyone obsessed with his beard it's clearly you cuz that is prolly the first time pn this boa4d Sam's facial hair got mentioned since he was drafted. Just stop, kids a rookie and his coaching staff fucking sucks calling 55 straight pass plays from early in the 2nd. The only time I've ever seen 2 ppl other than the qb in the backfield TERRY was lined up at split back with HIS HAND IN THE DIRT, on 3rd and 1 (3 yd loss and punt)... so don't tell me that the routes that take 5 seconds to come thorough when he has a line that gives him 2 secs on avg and 4 secs MAX is his fault. ......

Sorry, stop blaming howell you may as well bring Wentz back with your attitude. Talk about a sack record.

[WCommandersfan99]

Howell is not the problem. He has plenty of talent to be a good NFL qb. The problem is clearly the oline and the defense. We knew the oline may have issues, but I don't think anyone forecasted the defensive issues. Frustrating.

[rocnrik]

The problem is and continues to be In order
Whoever is making decisions on draft picks/free agency then Head Coach, D Cordinator, OL,LB,DB …. Howell is way down the list ..

I’m just glad this will all be blown up.
Jiffy lube will be out of the league along with Ron and Jack Del Taco.
