. if he becomes the guy everyone thought he would be after his first two years it is an absolute dream scenario and if he doesn’t oh well. Why Howell went in the fifth round after his third year at UNC is still a mystery imo. Old article but as far as him slipping in the draft it is still timely. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/...rafuzzek5lwpk0 |

Re: The Sam Howell Thread
Right, his play didn't fall off much and he came out in a weak class and still lasted until the 5th. I think fans need to let go of the draft hype and grades because it meant nothing in his case.

Well in fairness the hype for him was before his third year. But even before his draft he was a second round projection. Hey if nothing else the guy will play with a chip on his shoulder. Id still take him over Pickett too. |

Re: The Sam Howell Thread
Anyone that posted that is truly fucking stupid. Maybe he doesn't pan out, but his ceiling is certainly not Colt McCoy. That's absurd.

Only similarity between the two is that their best games came against Dallas. Difference being Sam played one game and it took Colt about 5 years. |

Re: The Sam Howell Thread
To be fair it was never said that Howell's ceiling is McCoy, it was just a player comp, and one that people have probably overreacted to just a bit.
Did fans overreact to Sam Howell being compared to Colt McCoy? The only issue we should have with Miller's take is saying Howell doesn't have great arm strength. His arm is plenty strong enough to make all the throws in the NFL. |

Re: The Sam Howell Thread
I like the kid[Howell] and given a decent o-line the kid will be ok.

I feel our offense will thrive because Heineke was almost reluctant to run last year…as I’m sure he wanted to protect himself for that nice payday. I think Howell will do fine, and we’ll find out more in training camp too. |

Re: The Sam Howell Thread
I think Russell Wilson is a much better comparison for Sam Howell than Colt McCoy. The style of play of Wilson and Howell is very similar and both of them can make throws that McCoy cannot because they have greater arm strength than Colt.
Now, don't think I just predicted that Sam Howell can have the same level of NFL success that Russell Wilson has had. That remains to be seen.

I think this is an excellent article in which Mike Martz talks about Sam Howell and evaluates some of Sam's plays vs. Dallas. Enjoy! |
