I guess we will have to wait till week 1.
I predict he will be on someone practice squad. His first and last NFL starts will be against the cowboys.

The puzzling thing about Howell is he played exceptionally well during the first half of the season.....then he fell into bad habits and never grew afterwards......this is all on Eric Bieniemy.....Bienemy had Howell passing too much without pounding the rock to take pressure off of Howell.

The puzzling thing is people still discussing a 5th round QB that our outgoing HC/GM, decided to make QB1. Who the eff cares about how he played. He's just another bad decision/mistake that Ron made this season.

He'll be a backup next year, and if we're lucky, he won't take any meaningful snaps during the season.

If we were lucky, we would have had a competent OC and o line and Sam would have been head and shoulders above where he finished. Who cares what round he was drafted in that thought process is chalked.

This franchise has never been lucky lol don't count on it now.

We are lucky that we finally have a full-on rebuilt, with hopefully a competent owner, that will not meddle the way that Snyder did.

The only good thing about this season, is that ownership can move on from this regime and we have the #2 pick.

Do you think maybe as film is built on Sam that teams then start attacking his weakness ? Seems reasonable

EB sucks balls

SH is a back up

The season provide it , time to move on

Allmost all qbs making their 2nd nfl start the first game of the season are going to have weaknesses and need to learn and grow as a player. They don't come out of the package perfect lol .. the potential is great, but we can't snap our fingers and have a perfect qb.

No one has patience 🤷

[Chief X_Phackter]

Yep, we disagree. That's crazy talk.

[rocnrik]

So jamf do you judge every player fair? If you ask me for what we gave up for Chase or Allen they have both been underachieving.. we used 2nd overall pick for chase and got a 3rd in return .. Allen is part of the gigantic failure of the D and I think he gets traded .. so you think EB did a good job ? I think he was bad as our play caller ..just wondering how you rate the other players on this team ..

[Meks]

You know who will be /are backups?

Bryce Young
Zach Wilson
Trey Lance
Mac Jones
Kenny Pickett
Daniel Jones
Sam Darnold
Josh Rosen (not in nfl)

With someone like kyler Murray kind of skating by...

Those precious first rounder over the last like 4-5 drafts and plenty in top 5.

Sam has shown more this year under the shittiest conditions than that entire list.

Enough with the 5th round there could be a list of qbs who outperform the 4th-7th rd draft status as well.

No patience for this fan base. Dan rubbed off too hard on a lot of folks. Can't blame the lack of patience through all the misery and suffering but being less short sighted can be a positive thing in some cases.

Heres to progress, the offseason and no more Dan!

[jamf]

Meks I give you credit for being committed to him.
Statistically, Sam finished as the worst QB to start a full season.
Brissett lead the NFL in passer rating.

Seasons over, I’m thankful for Sam delivering us the 2nd overall pick. We couldn’t have done that with Brissett.

I suspect Denver will pick up Howell after we cut him so they too can tank for a QB.

[Meks]

Lol hey just call it as I feel that's all. Just happy the dumpster fire embers are getting the bucket of water asap.

we're not cutting howell, he's cheap and better than anyone else we could get for the price.

No way.
Sam is the ex. You don’t keep them around.
Ex thought to be franchise QB
Ex team captain

You don’t bring in a rookie QB and leave the ex just sitting there hoping to get another shot.
If they draft a QB #2, they will have a veteran QB as backup.

With that said the new GM won't look past Howell's struggles and may bring in veteran QB competition for the back up QB role.......Sam Howell hasn't earned the back up QB spot either .

[EdmundDorf]

Howell is still good friends with Drake Maye, so if he is the pick then makes great sense to keep Sam around to ease his transition to the NFL
