We however should be a team that's equipped to do it given how disruptive we can be up front. But 2021 was a dropoff from 2020. Hope 2023 isn't a dropoff from 2022.

Another bugaboo will be whether or not Howell is the guy.

We should expect some growing pains with him, and I don't know that it's fair to just declare him

The other bugaboo is the schedule...10 of 17 games against playoff teams from last year... plus improved Jets, Broncos, and Bears teams... Won't be easy.

All that said, if RR doesn't figure out a way to win at least 9 games and make the playoffs (not sneak in with a 8-9 record), he should be done.

True, but Ron is betting his job on the fact that he is.

Your right it was a bit of an exageration to say he will be way better, but our QBs were awful last year so it should not be too much to expect something much closer to competent starter level.

I think RR knows that the new owner is going to want a complete break from everything Snyder and wont be re-signed no matter how the season goes. RR's not betting anything because he's gone no matter what.

Yeah I'm not sure Howell is that much better than TH yet... He played 1 game. We all hope he is

He's better and has a higher floor.

Sam Howell does not get enough respect here. Bunch of haters lol.

We should be clinging to hope for every young QB that comes here.

If we can add another couple solid OLineman in the draft, this offense is gonna bust on faces.

I suspect a lot of people forget that the team had 2nd/3rd round grade on Howell in the draft. Keim even said that if the team hadn't traded for Wentz, they would have drafted Howell in the 2nd or 3rd round. A lot of us likely would be clamoring for the team to start Howell if we drafted him in the 2nd round pick.

I am and will continue to be Howell believer, unless he starts losing games for the team.

i hope he is TB12

but he has such a limited sample size of play it's hard to say "ok we are all set at QB1"

honestly his DAL game was decent but he threw it just 19 times and the INT he threw was just plain awful.

i say i am optimistically cautious about sam howell

What exactly has Sam Howell done to warrant this respect you speak of? He's 11 for 19 with 2 TD (one rushing) and 1 INT. That's his NFL career. Lol

I think it's okay to "cling for hope" while also being skeptical about what he might become. He has a lot to prove. He could end up being the unquestioned starter here for a long time, or he could end up carrying a clipboard for most of his career (or somewhere in between). Like I've said before, there's not even a guarantee that he will start the season as the number one QB. He still has to beat out Brissett, which is not a given.

1-0 against Dallass. I can respect that.
