Sam cant stay here and expect he'll really get a shot at starting in camp if we draft a QB. Any scenario where Howell beats him out isn't worth it. TH contract ended. Howell still has 2 years left. There is a difference. If Howell beats out the shiny new QB only speaks volume of the evaluation of the new GM and Coach.

MrJL Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 if Howell is actually this bad then we should still be drafting high in 2025 if we start him behind an improved offensive line. I'm still in favor of building that It's kind of amazing how many were desperate to keep TH around for extra time and how many want to move on from Howell immediately 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDawg Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 I’m a Howell fan. And I still stick by all the things I’ve said and I also think the OL and more pressing EB and Rivera helped break him with their plans. Now that I have that out of the way… If you are a GM taking over this franchise… we are essentially an expansion team. If you are looking at Howell, and his performances the last few weeks… you’re not exactly thrilled if he’s the starting QB. In fact, you’re terrified. Remember, your job depends on the quarterback. Six weeks ago I think the idea of moving forward with Howell made sense. I think the last few weeks there were arguments that he could still be the QB next year. But the last two solidified it… no GM will be comfortable with Howell. With improved play calls and an improved OL he’s probably decent at this point. But he’ll still have happy feet. So we’ll be good enough to pick out of the top 10 but probably not good enough to be a contender. you can’t look at that and say, “sign me up for sure.” Now, circumstances dictate situation. So there is a world where he could be our QB. I think it’s in a parallel world that we can’t access at this point, though. If we pick top 3 I think our GM is going QB. The only other option is a trade. For who? No idea. I’d have to see who the GM is first. But trades are scary because you give up all of your team building assets for one player and usually a gigantic contract. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the new GM understand that you have to build a team around the QB and not the way around. See Purdy for example or even Josh Allen. Allen wasn't Allen until the Bills built a playoff team around him and it took them 3 years. We still have some good players and don't need a total rebuild. Not sure why people keep on saying that or even thinking that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not every team has superstars in each positions. Just need a few and the others have to work well with them. Coaching is they key as well as you are well aware of.
