Re: The Sam Howell Thread
I will confess I am not as high on Sam as I was at the beginning of the season but in the end my opinion is useless. I think next year we will have the first in over 25 years a GM to HC formula that the rest of the league has used. I trust they will have the film they need on Sam to make a decision that will set us on the right path.

Re: The Sam Howell Thread
If I'm the new GM and I'm confident of turning this franchise around quickly with much better coaching, better use of players already here, some sensible FA pickups and a good draft. I'm asking myself, "Am I going to be picking this high again in the near future?".
If the answer to that is no, it becomes very, very difficult not to take one of the top 2/3 QBs.

Re: The Sam Howell Thread
I think Sam is definitely back next season, but as the starter? Nah. We'll draft someone or sign someone.
If someone told you back in August Sam was going to lead the league in INTs, pick sixes, and sacks, there's no way you'd say yeah, sign me up for some more of that. |

Re: The Sam Howell Thread
He's thrown 4, Mac Jones and Bryce Young have thrown 3, bunch of other guys have thrown 2.

Re: The Sam Howell Thread
I personally also think the scheme and playcalling is hot trash. All it does is attribute to Sam looking and playing worse.

Re: The Sam Howell Thread
I thought the long ball was supposed to be his strength? He seems to miss everyone deep.

Re: The Sam Howell Thread
Sam knows he has the last three games to shine .. if he doesn't then it's his loss because the new regime will pick a QB .. To me Sam looks like he is "shell shocked "and is in panic mode .. I guess all the sacks and picks can take its toll .. I don't see him as the answer unless he shows a lot in the next 3 weeks ..

Re: The Sam Howell Thread
I don't know if I'm buying the whole shell shocked thing. He gets sacked a lot, that's who he is. That's who he has been for years.

Re: The Sam Howell Thread
If Sam was a first round rookie I wonder how the conversation would be going? We would not be ready to give up on him. Yet because Sam is short by NFL standards, and he's a 5th rounder, everyone has mostly mailed it in.

Re: The Sam Howell Thread
If we were picking 12th, it would be a moot point. He would get another shot. But we're heading towards a top-5 pick (although we might fuck this up against the Jests), and that's QB country. Especially w/ a new GM/HC that didn't pick Howell.

Re: The Sam Howell Thread
Josh Rosen was a rookie and they moved on from him after 1 year as they should have

Re: The Sam Howell Thread
We are here to win games not give people opportunities to grow their careers.
Dwayne Haskins was a first rounder and tall but he shit the bed so he had to go. Russ Wilson is short and a late round pick but he won early and often so he got paid. How about we get players that play well for once? |

Re: The Sam Howell Thread
Jamf .. I hear you but I'm not sure we have had the coaches to get the best out of ANY of our players .. I find it hard to believe our talent is as bad as the team looks ... to me it starts at the top .. What scares me most about our top pick is look at San Fran ( no dispute they are a well run organization.. yet they whiffed on Trey Lance .. if we whiff on another top 5 pick then it sets us back years .. there will be 2 QBs picked before us .. so we are looking at a reach at pick 4 instead of picking a sure fire lock in Harrison Jr or top Left tackle .. the VERY BEST talent evaluators are not very successful with this QB thing .. it's because outside the obvious top guy the rest are reaches .. if we pass on Harrison Jr and pick Daniels out of LSU and he fails then what then .. that's why everyone was hoping Sam could be the guy .. doesn't look like he will but no guarantees our top pick if QB will be ANY better .. I would be all in on trading our Number one pick to a team for a known QB ( Herbert for sure) .. he is who we should have taken anyway. But Chargers would never do that .. would they ??
