Re: The Sam Howell Thread
The new regime can do whatever the hell they want. They deserve the chance to proceed as they see fit. God knows the status quo isn't working.

Re: The Sam Howell Thread
Pick 6s three weeks in a row will do that. The one from yesterday was as bad a throw as I can recall. Woof.

Re: The Sam Howell Thread
That wasn't a bad throw by Howell. The LB simply made a great play by reading the play quickly and immediately got into the throwing lane. Howell barely had a second to hold the ball and throw, it would be difficult for Howell (and most QBs) to recognize the LB reacting to the play and throw the ball within 1-2 second..

Re: The Sam Howell Thread
The LB, I forget his name, stated he knew which play was coming from studying film because Wiley sets up the same way every time it is called. Not only can't he block, but Wiley is giving the plays away to the defence

Re: The Sam Howell Thread
The Joe Thiesman throw in the Super Bowl against the Raiders was worse …. EVERY QB that’s ever played has that type of pick …. Sam is standing tough and has no support cast … I hope he doesn’t become shell shocked because it’s gonna get worse .. the team has quit !

Yeah. Oline is priority one. An entire defense is priority two. |

Re: The Sam Howell Thread
So far this season with 5 games left :
Sam Howell's stats 3466 Yards passing 18 Tds 14 INTS 243 Yards rushing 5 TDs 5 Fumbles (2 lost) 66 Passing grade (Mid tier) I think the next 5 weeks are huge for Sam, if he finishes the season on the top 5 of passing yards and has clsoe to 30 total TDs, it will be hard to just toss him to the curb next yr

In QBR he ranks 21st in the league https://www.espn.com/nfl/qbr You definitely keep him no matter what he does in the next 5 games; at best he is your guy for the next decade at worst he is a very serviceable back up on the cheap. The REAL question is: Is he good enough that you pass on a QB in a draft heavy on QB talent and your team has multiply draft picks some of which are very high? My answer from what I have seen so far from SH; is if you got a guy in this years draft you want you go get him. Then its up to SH to beat that dude out for QB1.

The Sam Howell Thread
Quote:
I know yards isn’t everything but fools gold is probably not it either. Look at the other 10 quarterbacks leading in yards. 1 C.J. Stroud HOU 2 S. Howell WSH 3 T. Tagovailoa MIA 4 J. Goff DET 5 D. Prescott DAL 6 J. Allen BUF 7 B. Purdy SF 8 P. Mahomes KC 9 J. Herbert LAC 10 T. Lawrence JAX 11 J. Hurts PHI Basically the who’s who of nfl quarterbacks. Gotta be something to it. Two different OC’s both of whom hinder not help. Arguably the worst Oline. No great wr. No run game. A clown HC. The pick sixes are him pressing and knowing down by 30 he needs to score quickly. I think it would be a mistake not to build around him for this coming year and see what he is capable of with all those things he is lacking. A really big mistake. Help me out SF. Lol |

You know what you call Sam in statistics? A Outlier Here is another way to look at it. Lets say everyone on that list is a distance runner and everyone ran a ton miles; top guy had 100 miles the lowest guy lets say 89 miles over a period of time, Sam had 99 miles. Consider the miles ran yards thrown. Now in that same list the average pace was 7 minutes per mile expect for one of the distance runners his pace was 16 minutes per mile and his name was Sam. Consider the pace the QBR. Does that paint a better picture of why the total yards is fools gold? Sam only has a ton of yards because: 1. We are always behind and trying to catch up 2. He plays in a lot of garbage time minutes 3. His OC is a idiot and can't game plan a balanced attack

None of those other quarterbacks play behind the worst line in football, have no top tier wr, have no running game, have an idiot HC, have learned two offenses in two years, and have zero home field advantage. Some might check a couple of those boxes but only Sam checks them all. |
