Please help to compare Sam Howell with '24 QB corp.

[Bear-Hawk]

Lol. How many other nfl qb's threw 21 int' s last year? Context doesn't win games. Good qb play does, and so far, Howell hasn't shown he can be a good qb yet. Pathetic, indeed.

I would not go into 2026 with NFL interception leader as my QB1.

How many QB's on your list played even one down in the NFL last year? Kid got no help from his OC his defense or his O line.



Here are his numbers to compare to yours.

As long as Sam Howell doesn't play like Thiston Howell III, and gets the ball out fast he'll be ok, I'd be more worried about our OL holding up.

What you know about the Skillosopher? Where you from, Chawker?

Howell also had more passing attempts than any other QB in the NFL. His interception rate was 3.4% which is better than Nick Milens (5.4%), Bailley Zappe (4.2%), Jimmy Garrapollo (4.1%) and Mac Jones (3.5%), it wasn't far behind Josh Allen (3.1%).

There is a lot more to good QB play than interception rates and there are a lot of things that affect the interception rate other than the skill fo the QB. What we don't know is how many interceptions Howell would throw if he starts for the Seahawks next seaason and how that compared to wht Bo Nix would do. (Or more importantly how many games we would win).

In a direct comparison between Bo Nix (if available at 16) and Sam Howell, if we say they are equal quality would you prefer a QB on $1m p.a. for 2 years and the 16th overall pick or a QB on $3m p.a for 4 years and a 5th round draft pick?. Probably not much in it.

Michael Lombardi (former GM) said he thinks Howell is better than most of these QB's outside of Caleb.

Nix led the NCAA with only 4 int's last year. Howell and Nix are not equal, so your hypothetical isn't really valid. But even so, I'll play along, and I would prefer the cheap rookie contract and a higher potential ceiling with Nix. Howell is not likely to be more than a backup. Nix could be a plus starter.

I read that Seahawks may draft Milton in the final rounds as a developmental project. I guess something is better than nothing.

I was on the Milton train during the regular season even though Tennesse’s offense is very basic and easy to make QBs look better than what they really are than I saw him at the Senior Bowl, Milton looked awful.

Maybe a flyer as an UDFA

right now, Nix and Howell? they are dead even. Howell may even outperform him if he was starting for the hawks. There isn't that much difference between the two.

I would agree with him
