Howell sure can take hits... like on a Homer Simpson level. Actually impressive.
I'm pretty much left where I have been for a while. I still think Howell has been good overall all things considered, but he is being absolutely hung out to dry.
Terrible O line. Horrible play calling. Horrible gameplanning. Nobody getting open. No defensive support. Just the royal screw-job special.
Nobody is succeeding in that position and to put that on a young player is ridiculous. Just treading water in that ecosystem is impressive.
Most weeks we are just demanding one man to go out and beat the entire opposing team. Its some of the stupidest coaching I have ever seen.
That Howell is not currently hurt or Ramsey'd is nothing short of miraculous.
Unfortunately, even tho Howell is not playing garbage level ball his team is. We are getting blown the crud out on a weekly basis. Nobody is helping this kid right now, an that puts Sam in an increased position to pay the price. If we are in position to easily get a QB the new FO believes in, they will not hesitate to move on... and that aint Sam's fault.
