Hey all, Commanders fan here. I was wondering what the unbiased opinion on Sam Howell is looking right now. Obviously as Washington fan, I’m definitely looking at Sam through rose tinted goggles, more specifically, a QB with a crazy high ceiling with any woes being attributed to growing pains. However I know this is definitely a biased view and even a little naive. I was hoping to get a greater understanding on what the the NFL fanbase as a whole is feeling on him, perhaps to temper my own expectations. Thanks y’all
Jets fan that lives in the DC area here, so I end up watching a lot of Commanders games on TV.
I keep reminding people to keep in mind he’s effectively a rookie, given that he played just one game last year. With that, I think he’s looked solid; while the sacks are still an issue, he’s shown enough potential up to this point that his leash is decently long.
Give him time and a better OL and I think he’ll be pretty good. Not necessarily elite, but IMO comfortably Carr/Cousins-level.
