Re: The Sam Howell Thread
 

Very good assessment there. My two cents are that Howell himself does have a longer leash. Even if he plays the way he has we could be sitting at 5-2 or 4-3. Neither is a bad mark. The flip side is RR might be playing for his job too if he is, he knows Brissett has more precision.

Think of Sam as a coin currently flipping around in the air , heads he is a franchise QB and tails he is a bust, we are still waiting for the coin to land and IMO it should flip for 17 games because what does Brissett really bring? Maybe if he is better then Sam say 2 or 3 more wins better; he certainly isn't anyone's long term answer at QB1 but a very nice QB2 (which more and more in todays NFL is a very nice piece to have on a contending team)

We really need to see Sam and write out the entire chapter and say definitely he is is or is not the MAN.

I see no point in turning to JB until we know for sure Sam isn’t the guy.

Great read, thank you!

I don't understand why the Jets don't call Wentz. He is better than Wilson and the guy they just bought in.

Noticed there was some contentious behavior between some of the Jets on the sideline last game. Saleh cannot being having fun now. Broncos fans are thrilled not to have Hackett, and they are still a weak 0-3.

They both suck!! I would not sign Wentz, obviously no one has for a reason.

[quote=MTK;1346720]I see no point in turning to JB until we know for sure Sam isn’t the guy.[/quote]Agree 100%. I'd give him the full season unless he bombs out, which I highly doubt. His potential factor is way higher than Brissett who didn't impress in the preseason anyway. Still think Rivera is gone after this season.

Even at that point it would be foolish to go with JB. If Howell stinks it up it means we're done for playoff contention and Brisset would only hurt the future if he wins a few games.

Re: The Sam Howell Thread
 

Im calling it now. Jets vs Commanders in the Super Bowl. Wentz vs JB. Gonna be an absolute shoot out. 73-72 Commanders. JB wins MVP.

That play was ugly as fuck w/ the screenshot. Everyone all smushed on top of each other. Good luck Sam! I'm hoping there was some player(s) error on that one.

I agree with you but the coaching staff doesn’t.
They don’t survive a 5 or 6 win season.
