So you won't see him. But Howell is playing this morning, 11 am. Well that makes my decision on which game to watch easier. And Howell looking pretty bad so far. Not all his fault though.

KDawg Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Not watching but his OL has been horrendous all year. But you’d still like to see the guy make something happen despite that. That’s what sets the best above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 His Oline is surprisingly trash. Watching Howell kind of reminds me stylistically of Rothlesburger. Just kind of effortless, calm, stands tall in there and then decisive. Mechanically I definitely see the Baker comparisons, but his poise reminds me of Ben. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Damn, I thought Nesbit was a small WR from looking at him. He's 6'6" 245 as a rookie and his dad played in the NFL. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Baker comparison has been kicking around and does make some sense for the mechanical sense. Really like the Ben comparisons stylistically! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Howell just cant get any help. False starts and just poor play all around. It makes it very difficult to actually evaluate the guy. But he doesnt really seem capable of lifting that team. He just doesnt pop as the best player on the field type. I wouldnt want to be the scout assigned to evaluate the guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sees the field great, but man he looks so frustrated today and understandably. Second half is going to be really big for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, amazingly calm considering the siv of a line. He is a good leader... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsinparadise Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) Howell to me so far looks all right. He's not killing it but not bad either. I see the same things I like and the same things I don't from him. What I like: tough dude, handles adversity, throws a very catchable ball with nice touch, good accuracy when he has time, makes some really pretty-tough throws What I don't like: Pocket presence, peripheral vision both in the pocket and as a runner in open field The reason why I like to bring up Corral when talking about Howell is in some ways they remind me of each other stylistically. The main reason why I prefer Corral is IMO he has the pocket presence and peripheral vision in the pocket and in open field that Howell is lacking. That's why I put Corral ahead of Howell. My take watching Howell is if you give him a good O line and a deep threat or two, he can pick you apart. If you put trash at his feet he's nowhere near the same even though he will tough it out. You can make that case about a lot of QBs but IMO it especially applies to him. Edited December 30, 2021 by Skinsinparadise 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Est.1974 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Let’s just make sure we pick a QB that also has a strong work ethic and loves the game. We want someone that aspires to be great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nagy is typically really revealing on that count after he has these guys in house for the Senior Bowl.

skins4ever28 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 After watching Burrow at college and in the nfl a good bit I think one of the biggest things a qb has to do is just have the balls to make throws. Burrow in college was always throwing it up giving his guys a chance to make the play and he does it in the NFL too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistertim Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I think Howell played decently considering the circumstances. His OL is pretty much trash (he's been sacked 44 times this season) and NC's defense was getting completely manhandled pretty much all day long.
