I doubt Atlanta let's him go & his price tag is probably a little to high as well. But I'm sure there will be cheaper options out there. We're going to be running an RPO type system with Sam's ability to run & our running game. We're also going to be throwing deep with the skill set of WR's we have & Sam's arm. We will be looking for a vet QB who can run & has a big arm. That's my theory anyways... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aceinthehouse Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 Its still hard to believe where we landed Sam Howell. The 5th round. This was a dude whom after his Junior year at North Carolina was projected to be not only a 1st Rd projection, but the top QB in the draft. Then we drafted Dyami Brown who left a year before Sam did. Plus, I believe North Carolina lost some other significant players as well. Howell goes on in his Senior yr and doesn't have the great year he had his prior Junior year & completely falls off the map. I really think this dude is special! I think he has the intangibles, to really shock a lot of people. If we're really going to roll with Sam, I hope we find a way to put together a really strong roster for him. Get this guy an O-line for heaven's sake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aceinthehouse Posted February 26, 2023 Author Share Posted February 26, 2023 So I was just curious what Sam Howell's wonderlic score was coming out of the draft. Did you know he had the 2nd highest in the draft? I thought that was interesting. Wonderlic score: 34 Where he played: North Carolina Howell never had trouble covering the field, passing for over 3,000 yards in each of his three seasons with the Tar Heels. He never completed under 61 percent of his passes and never had a double-digit interception season as a collegian. Last season, Howell passed for almost 63 percent with over 3,000 yards, 24 touchdowns, and nine interceptions for an offense that placed No. 10 overall in college football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think we got a steal in Howell, but he does have to prove it, no one should be crowned the starter, whether it’s Heinicke returning, or us signing a vet like Mayfield, Dalton, Darnold, Brisett, Bridgewater, Minshew, Keenum, Tyrod or someone who’s played years in Andy Reid’s offense who can help develop Howell like Chase Daniel, there needs to be an open competition. Should Howell win the job, I do think he can be better than Heinicke bc he has a better arm & can stretch the field better. If Howel starts all 17 games it wouldn’t shock me if his stats were: 63%, 3900 yds, 25 TDs & 13 ints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtle28 Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 (edited) A stronger-armed Colt McCoy/Taylor Heinicke is what a lot of us think and I hope that plays out as true. Edited May 15, 2023 by turtle28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said before that I'm all-in on Howell, at present. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
