Yeah, he looks like has a little sumpin sumpin. This isn't the tragedy that many are making out to be. Oh well, we'll see how it turns out.
I LIKE Howell. I think he can be pretty damn good if he learns how to navigate a pocket.Which, if we were already considering drafting a QB at that point, there isn't any guarantee he'd be better than Howell, who is only going to be 24.
This saves us from throwing a draft pick at a QB if we weren't thrilled with who we might have had a chance at and we get a 24-year-old with 2 years of NFL experience. Is it a great move? No. But I don't think it's terrible now that the initial shock is wearing off.
He has a better live arm than Baker.This kid's a gamer. Kinda reminds me of Mayfield. Very athletic and an impressive arm. I enjoyed watching him a bit last year, he stood out to me.
He was even more worth just taking him in the fifth in 2022 and being able to develop him somewhere that isn't the hell that is DC.If Geno gets hurt next year and Howell wins the games he is out, was he worth it then?
Meh, you're taking this way too seriously.I LIKE Howell. I think he can be pretty damn good if he learns how to navigate a pocket.
I'm just annoyed that they reportedly always liked him, yet passed up on the chance to take him for a fifth in 2022 and have him developing in house OUR way for 2 years.
Instead they wait for him to self-destruct in a terrible organization and pay twice as much in draft capital to undo that damage while also losing half his rookie contract.
Just so, so annoyed by the process there.
Because, he’s Sam “Howlitzer” Howell, that’s why!!!! Just kidding….Uhhh...why????????????????
I gotta say, I'm really confused by you having this viewpoint considering the discussions we've had prior about having to keep taking chances at the spot regardless of circumstance.Ok, I've had a few minutes to let it sink in. This still makes no sense. Ugh. WTF!
...by disagreeing?Meh, you're taking this way too seriously.
The 4th rder were getting back is not that far from our 3rd the Hawks gave up. Howell almost threw for 4000 yards on a shit Commanders team and he's making 985K this year. I'm very ok with this choice. Wasn't even aware Quinn was shopping him.Why are we giving up draft picks for this, especially a 3rd round
This is all fair and I somewhat agree.I LIKE Howell. I think he can be pretty damn good if he learns how to navigate a pocket.
I'm just annoyed that they reportedly always liked him, yet passed up on the chance to take him for a fifth in 2022 and have him developing in house OUR way for 2 years.

Thanks for point that out. It's not like they gave up a high 3rd and got nothing back. They gave up a very late 3rd and got the 4th that's really not that many picks later.The 4th rder were getting back is not that far from our 3rd the Hawks gave up.

To be fair, 78 is about twice as valuable (probably slightly more) than 102. We are legitimately losing about a late third of value overall.The 4th rder were getting back is not that far from our 3rd the Hawks gave up. Howell almost threw for 4000 yards on a shit Commanders team and he's making 985K this year. I'm very ok with this choice. Wasn't even aware Quinn was shopping him.
To be clear, 78 is pick number 14 in the third round. It's in the top half of the round.Thanks for point that out. It's not like they gave up a high 3rd and got nothing back. They gave up a very late 3rd and got the 4th that's really not that many picks later.
I'm with you, I've thought he looked pretty damn good at times last year. Behind a good line with a running game and receiving weapons, might be a good situation to bring out his best.Oh wow, I even brought up this possibility in a thread earlier. Had court dates in two different counties today, no jail time in either, and now we traded for a player I've been wanting... good day for me!
This is a fantastic trade! Howell has an NFL arm and abilities; took a lot of hits last year, but I've been saying for a while that I think he's legit!
