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
As a Steelers fan I’ll just give you my honest thoughts.
I see a smaller but more talented Dereck Carr. Howell has the arm to open up the offense, he brings some level of athleticism to keep plays alive as well.
Obviously he’s taken his lumps, but that game vs Philly made me a believer. When y’all clicked vs Buffalo, I remember thinking “if he steps up against the Eagles it’s legit”
I think y’all got a good one. He doesn’t protect the ball as well as Purdy, but I’d argue he’s more physically talented. Happy for ya 😅
