The Sam Howell Thread

[Chico23231]

Sam will be here next year. He has proven he can play and has a ton of value here and will continue to grow. The book on Howell, regardless who is here in the front office and staff, is not closed.

Look around the league, both Arizona and the Giants made recent huge financial commitments to QB and now have their replacement being mocked to them.

What about Justin Fields already being moved on from next year in the draft?

Sam performance has been a major plus this year.

Patience. Any of the guys coming out in 2024 are going to have days like Sam did yesterday.

The Cards, Giants, and Bears are three teams who are likely to move on from QBs that were not drafted by the team's current regime.

No one is saying that Sam will be cut by the new regime. I just don't think a new GM is going to come in and say that we are set at QB because of Sam Howell.

I agree with this and obviously you need to do your due diligence everywhere. However we are in a unique position. We seemingly have a decent starter at quarterback who is playing on the cheap. We also have alot of holes to fill. It isn’t that I am worried about Sam getting tossed to the curb because he isn’t the new regimes pick that bothers me. It is using a first round pick on a quarterback who may or may not be better than the one we got, when clearly there will be Oline, corners, linebackers that are certainly better than what we got.

Listen if there was a quarterback coming out who I thought was an absolute can’t miss Id have to reevaluate my thought process here. But there isn’t. What is comes down to is do you want Sam Howell, and a stud LT or Sam Howell and another rookie quarterback with Jay Leno protecting whoever wins the job?

My assumption in bringing in a new coaching staff and GM is that they will be better at evaluating talent than the current regime. If this is the case, which we better hope it is, then the other holes that this team has can be filled with later round picks and free agency.

I just don't understand why fans insist that the new GM/coach needs to roll with the QB that this current regime picked and dismiss the idea that the new regime is going to want to pick their own QB.

Howell is a nice guy, and so far a decent starter with a lot of flaws. But do people really think that the coaching staff is going to be like, yeah this is the guy we're going to roll with?

Now, is there the chance that a new regime could roll with Howell, yeah probably. I just see it very difficult to happen. Especially with a team that has a history of new coaches being forced to work with a previous regime's QB (Ron with Haskins, Jay with RG3); and let's face it, Ron and company have made pretty terrible personnel moves, and it is likely a new GM and coach are not going to want to bet their jobs on a "decent QB."
