Stone Cold Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Couldn’t have played it any better with this pick. I’ve been a fan of Sam Howells for a while. I believe he has all the tools to be a successful professional QB. and…we didn’t take him so early that it spooks Wentz. SH can develop for a season two or even three. No pressure…home team developed QB for the long haul. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Another good thing about Howell…he’s a little bit fat, in a good way. Everybody loves a qb with a little spare tire on him. It’s a sign of character. 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jds0912 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Kid can play, no doubt. He’s just kinda short for an nfl qb who’s gonna have to succeed as a pocket passer. Some guys can play well despite that and some can’t. I hope he’s the next Drew Brees though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HigSkin Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 “It was a little stressful, but at the same time I was trusting God,” Howell said, via John Keim of ESPN.com. “I was waiting for a call, and I’m so glad it was Washington that called. This is a perfect spot for me. It’s a team I wanted to play for all along, so I’m fired up.” Howell said he’s “excited to go to a place where I can sit back and learn from a guy and see what it’s like to be a pro.” Wentz’s ability to turn things around after a run of down years will determine whether Howell has a shot of moving up the depth chart at any point in the near future. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the un-scientific study done right here on ES it was determined ugly QBs win SBs. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TysonM Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) 2021 rushing stats (was not this good in previous years): 183 rushing attempts, 828 yards, 4.5 yards per attempt, 11 rushing TD. I always like a QB that make defenses worry about containing him. Edited April 30, 2022 by TysonM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cskin Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I urge everyone who is interested in learning more about Sam Howell's skillset to access YouTube Channel "The QB School" w/ JT O'Sullivan. He has a multiple part series evaluating Sam's play. Lots of good stuff, some not-so-good, and some cringe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsGuy Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 The guys on NFL Total Access just called the Sam Howell selection the best pick of Day 3 and possibly the steal of the draft. 👍 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sknsnation Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I live in Chapel Hill, I can literally stand in my front yard on game day and tell you when UNC scores. Make no mistake...Howell was the reason for alot of those cheers coming out of that Stadium...............and a few boos as well...The young man can spin it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OtisDriftwood25 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I will go on record, somewhere in the draft thread as soon as the season was over he was my number 1 qb. I thought Corral had the most upside but in terms of actually reading the field he’s the only one that did it. Yes that lead to a bunch of sacks and sometimes you would be saying throw the ball! Absolutely a incredible pick and developmental talent. 21 years old, 3 years experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsinparadise Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 QB Sam Howell calls Washington a 'perfect spot for me' after falling to Commanders in fifth round ASHBURN, Va. -- Quarterback Sam Howell called the ending a dream come true. Others could call it an unexpected one. The Washington Commanders drafted Howell with the first pick of the fifth round Saturday, ending a slide for a player many projected as a second-round pick. "I had no expectations coming into the draft," Howell said. "Obviously, everyone wants to be a first-round pick. I just want to get on a good team. I'm super blessed." Howell left North Carolina with one season of eligibility remaining. He played 37 games in three seasons, setting school records for passing yards (10,283), career touchdown passes (92) and single-season touchdown passes (38). While numerous analysts projected Howell as a likely Day 2 pick, he was the sixth quarterback on ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr.'s Big Board. Howell was the sixth quarterback selected in the NFL draft. He said he watched the draft in his hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina, with family, friends and former coaches. "It was a little stressful, but at the same time I was trusting God," Howell said. "I was waiting for a call, and I'm so glad it was Washington that called. This is a perfect spot for me. It's a team I wanted to play for all along, so I'm fired up." Washington liked Howell a lot, with one team source saying recently he was the top quarterback in the draft. Howell said he met with coach Ron Rivera and other team officials at the Senior Bowl and scouting combine, and several members of Washington's organization attended his pro day. But the Commanders indicated they did not plan on drafting a quarterback high, having traded for Carson Wentz last month. They also have Taylor Heinicke under contract for one more season. However, Rivera made it clear that taking one in the later rounds as a developmental quarterback was a strong possibility. In Howell, the Commanders found a quarterback they like but also one who wasn't picked high enough to be considered an heir apparent. Rivera said they didn't think Howell would slide to them. He said Howell would have been a consideration for them earlier in the draft had they not acquired Wentz. "It was something we had to jump on," Rivera said. "We had a very good grade on him....We feel this is a home run for us." Rivera said he talked to Wentz before they made the pick, reiterating that they viewed Howell as a developmental player. Rivera also said Heinicke would remain the primary backup. Howell shares an agent with Wentz but has not talked to him. But Howell said, "I'm excited to go to a place where I can sit back and learn from a guy and see what it's like to be a pro. I'm super excited." After throwing a combined 68 touchdown passes his first two seasons, Howell lost key contributors around him, including Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown. Howell's numbers took a hit: He went from 30 touchdown passes in 2020 to 24 last season and from 10.3 yards per pass attempt to 8.8. "Obviously, a little challenge," Howell said. "We lost a couple guys, but I wouldn't trade last year for anything. I learned so much. It made me a better player and a better person." https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/33833614/qb-sam-howell-calls-washington-perfect-spot-falling-commanders-fifth-round 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peregrine Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Didnt think the teams RB room had extra space but I guess now its supercrowded. Looking forward to seeing the 3rd and 1 options this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) I’m not going to pretend to be an expert in evaluation and analysis of NFL QBs but I know this… you keep throwing resources at that position until you get it right. I don’t know if Wentz or Howell will be the answer but they both have potential and we didn’t give up all that much for either. Both good moves IMO and especially the Howell pick. What we gave up is next to nothing weighted against the potential. Edited May 1, 2022 by Sacks 'n' Stuff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califan007 The Constipated Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 “Some mock drafts have Howell going late in the first round, while others have him as an early pick on Day 2. CBSsports.com has Howell going No. 41 overall to the Seattle Seahawks. Pro Football Network has him going as high as No. 11 overall to the Washington Commanders. “He’s one that’s kind of hard to get a feel for, honestly,” Reid said. “The people that I’ve talked to around the league, some people see him as a bonafide first-rounder and some people see him as a top of the second round type of player.” https://www.newsobserver.com/sports/nfl/article260770032.html#storylink=cpy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooseneck Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Clearly the next Tom Brady. After Wentz does his Sonny Jurgenson impression this year, we can trade him for all Houston's draft picks for the next few years and a casino in Las Vegas that all us fans won't go to as a matter of principle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
