I still like Corral the most. But to me there is a toughness about both Corral and Howell that I really like. They remind me of each other in some ways stylistically. Both ballers. They both are mobile and can throw a wicked deep ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsinparadise Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Before the season I was a Howell guy, then I got lukewarm on him for awhile. After the last few games including tonight I am firmly back on the Howell train. It’s not that he’s my top QB in the draft. I am still on team Corral. But he’s in the mix for me as to who I like next. I am still working on figuring that out. I love his toughness. He has good arm talent, is mobile, has decent accuracy. There is plenty that I like. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koolblue13 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Howell was dealt a tough hand this year and has handled it admirably. If that doesn't scream WTF QB, I don't know what does. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that doesn't scream WTF QB, I don't know what does. Yep and our O line is way better than N. Carolina and ditto our supporting cast. How QBs play under duress is obviously very relevant to the NFL. You rarely play with clean pockets consistently. But yeah he's a tough dude, gritty, baller. Like I've been saying he and Corral as far as style remind me of each other. And lol, yeah to play here yeah you got to be tough. 😀 Both Corral and Howell have good arm talent too, they can really sling it. Corral's running IMO will translate better to the pros. Corral flings himself some into defenders too like Howell but not as much. i know most mock drafters oddly don't even put him in the first round. Maybe that changes after tonight. for me he's in the same conversation with the other billed QBs in this draft. I am still thinking of how to seperate this group in my mind. but for now, Howell intrigues me for sure.

Ive liked what I’ve seen from Pickett today but nothing so far has turned me off from Howell. He’s been OK IMO factoring context. Howell running up the A gap as often as he does is odd, he’s going to get hurt playing like that. Corral does that at times too but Corral runs around the edges it seems much more, NFL style. I too was concerned about that, especially running it twice in a row when the first time only produced three yards. 8 hours ago, Skinsinparadise said: The arm strength on that deep ball from Howell just now really impressive 7 hours ago, method man said: Howell with some balls 7 hours ago, Skinsinparadise said: I love his toughness.

He has the same type of Mac Jones vibe from last year, where he's not doing anything extremely remarkable, but is doing everything pretty well. Getting the balls to his play makers and letting them do the work, like he's suppose to. I really like Howell and think he's going to be very good. That pass is nasty btw. I'd probably be more comfortable with Howell than anyone other than Corral I suppose. I think he's "my guy" for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably be more comfortable with Howell than anyone other than Corral I suppose. I think he's "my guy" for us. Yeah one of things I look for when watching a QB is how do they play under duress. Howell seems to handle it well. Part of what turned me off to Haskins for example was the Penn State game where he looked like a different guy when he wasn't playing with a clean pocket. I wasn't much of a Daniel Jones guy in that draft but I acceded he was tough in the pocket, he was under seige at Duke and handled it well. Jones IMO hasn't been hot in the NFL but not a disaster either and his toughness in the pocket has translated to the NFL. Sadly for him so did his propensity for turnovers. I think the Baker Mayfield comps for Howell are apt. Maybe Derek Carr? Assuming it all comes together for him. Pickett to me stylistically reminds me more of Mac Jones than Howell though he's different flavor than Mac, too. I liked Pickett yesterday too. i mentioned Pickett early in the season. So I've paid some attention but I haven't gone into a deep dive. He's been a slow burn for me but he is growing on me. I know some think Joe Burrow. For me he doesn't hit me as that high of a calibar QB. I recall watching Burrow his last season and felt he was unstoppable and that's against SEC defenses. I don't have that intense of a vibe about Pickett, at least not yet. He IMO doesn't have Mac's level of accuracy albeit Pickett's ball placement is definitely good. Arm strength about the same. Pickett though is more mobile. Like Mac he keeps his shoulders square while throwing on the move. Pickett seems really comfortable throwing on the move -- roll outs/boots. And he looks really smooth when he does it. Edited November 12, 2021 by Skinsinparadise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Howell had a great night. I think he's my preferred quarterback in this draft. Corral probably has the highest upside, Howell has the highest floor. Howell's ceiling is probably a notch below Corral's but Corral is a higher risk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsinparadise Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) I'd add John Madden back in the day when he called games would love Howell. He loved the tough guys who would wear it on their sleeve so to speak. You got Howell playing sleeveless. You could see the cut on his arm. Towards the end, he was basically playing through rain and then a monsoon. And he was under seige -- his o line often couldn't protect him. Almost like a plot out of a movie. And he came back. I think they'd have had a shot in overtime but the rain Gods weren't smiling on him. The rain picked up like mad when N. Carolina got the ball during that last drive.

I think he's my QB1, which is great for us, because we'll probably win a few more games and be out of the top 5 in the draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsinparadise Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) Listening to Rivera this morning, Sheehan asked him what player does he think is coming on where he expected a bigger 2nd half. He mentioned McCain. Saying he's starting to really understand their scheme and is coming on as a player. Interesting. Not sure where the point applies. On offense he mentioned Dyami, expecting a better 2nd half. Edited November 12, 2021 by Skinsinparadise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howell would have been a first round pick last year as well, similar to how Herbert went back and was still a first rounder. He's a gamer. Pickett is a few years older and has gotten better but, as noted, he would have been a late rounder last year if he was drafted. Having said that, he does look good this year and I wouldn't be upset with him as our horse going forward but I stand by Howell. I think Howell, given some of the offensive talent we have, will be a rockstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

method man Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Let’s hope some teams really fall in love with Willis and Ridder and Ridder and grade them as QB2/QB3 closer to draft time. Hopefully Howell continues to go under the radar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure many are like me in the fact that I wouldn't touch Willis, and Corral is a much higher risk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I like Howell for us. We won't have the #1 pick but I feel like it's gonna be one of those years where the 3rd or 4th QB taken ends up being the best of the lot. Think Roethlisberger in 04, Wilson in 12, or even Herbert in 20. Let Pickett and Wilis go to the Lions and Texans. Howell helps us in 2022 while still having really future upside.
