Speculation: Could Sam Howell be traded?

[toffee]

I said journeyman vets.

My bad!

At this point, it would be better to keep him until after the draft. Make team wonder if we really need a QB early, which may allow one to slide a bit.

you guys may disagree, and I get that, but, Howell is our QBOTF.

You need a back up that can win games, Sammy can pull that off...keep him!

Arguably, so could Darnold, if he was outdone by Howell and lost the starter status.

I don't care what anyone says, I like Howell. They should have ran with Howell this year and throw money at the fricking O-line. Darnold, whatever. They COMPLETELY overpaid for dude.. No way in hell I give that QB that kind of money after ONE descent year.

 

[pittpnthrs]

Sam Howell,,,,,Lol. Remember all the people defending this guy when JS brought him in?

 

[Rat]

Schneider has historically preferred the development backup to the established, low-ceiling vet like a Dalton or Tyrod Taylor who can be trusted to jump in and competently manage the game. We've been shockingly fortunate in that time to have had consistently durable starters, so it hasn't really burned us.

Howell has a full year under his belt now, he has been a starter... I'd just stick with him for now.

 

[Double Tribble]

Seems very unlikely, and it also seems less likely they draft a qb this year. If SD regresses however, then all bets are off next year, and I could see Howell and/or SD being let go while they draft a qb. This is a pivotal year for the franchise in that regard.

I see what you did there... VERY sneaky. Perhaps unintentional... but who knows. Made me laugh, regardless.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Sam Howell will outcompete Sam Darnold in camp, no doubt about it, but who will start after all that?

.NET to Sam Howell, we have your back; we are your voice.

Damn brother, is it Noon where you live? Put the drink down

Nah. Darnold was a bargain compared to what many thought he would get paid. He had a better year than the last guy, he knows Kubiaks system and he can sling it. Slowly, but surely, Darnold will become the next whipping boy, for no good reason.

Congrats.

I've always felt Howell has been judged unfairly and never had a true opportunity to prove himself. People mocked him last season after he filled in for Geno when injured. I think the dude has potential. IMHO.

 

[sutz]

Of course we could trade him away, maybe get a 6th/7th for him, but personally I think we hang onto him for at least another year and see how he develops.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

This ^
After giving up what they did, wouldn't make sense to trade him for next to nothing.

 

[CallMeADawg]

No way Jose, Howell has up side and his ceiling could be higher than Darnold. We are not trading away our QBOTF.

I feel sorry for your liver.

In all seriousness until the Seahawks draft a QB you might be right.

 

[Spin Doctor]

Howell is clipboard holder of the future. He's currently training under the lord and savior of every backup QB, Charlie Whitehurst. Tarvaris Jackson is teaching Howell from the heavens the art of the coin toss.

Howell is destined for....

Oh yes, waterboy.

Just not as dreamy as Clipboard Jesus

Hear me out... If you squint your eyes and drink at least two shots over what our boy toffee has, and then picture him with a short hair cut, and perhaps in a frat house environment it makes sense.
