I can’t figure out if Howell has good weapons, a good line, a good HC, or a good OC.

When he plays the Eagles it’s must watch TV. He takes a lot of sacks but it feels like he’s so close to mastering that style of pocket presence.

He looks like a player that is only going to get better the more reps he gets.

Great arm with athleticism and bad pocket awareness.

I think he’s franchise QB material. A modern NFL QB needs to be able to scramble and he has that. And he’s clearly not scared to get hit back there…so he’s tough…another good quality.

Overall he’s still young…WSH need to figure out their OL to protect him better but he also needs to do a better job seeing the field faster and not overhold the ball if he wants to have a long career.

If he can figure out the sacks thing, he can be a top QB.

Disgruntled Panthers fan here. One of the many mistakes the Panthers front office has made was drafting Matt Corral instead of Howell…but, not surprising as they don’t seem to know what a good QB even looks like…

No reason to think he’s not the guy.

You would be pretty satisfied with his performance had you taken him in the first round, that’s a massive steal. He’s straight up better than Pickett. He doesn’t have elite potential, but you should still be very happy.

He is an ultra competitor with a solid mental, and great arm.

The skills are there, he just needs time and some help up front and play calling. The blocking wasnt stellar, but I think he has gotten a lot of help with the last 2 weeks with the play calling and getting the ball out of his hands quicker.

Jealous

Imagine if he had protection

The guy in my dynasty league who has him loves him. And he is 9th in QB points, so that makes sense. But 21 ppg for the Commanders doesn’t seem very reassuring that he has long term job security. And Washington is deep for weapons with McLaurin, Thomas, Dotson, Samuel, Crowder, Brown, and some RBs that are good receivers out of the backfield.

I think Sam is completely hilarious, the perfect cocktail of things to generate fun discussion. He looks equal parts awesome, terrible, raw and promising. And right when you think you have him figured out, next week he fucks up your whole conception of him. It rules

He’s definitely fun to watch, whether he plays good or bad. I do think that if they’d have to extend themselves to get another QB he’s definitely shown enough to roll with for another year, assuming he doesn’t totally collapse from this point on

Whenever I watch him on redzone he’s either throwing a dot down field, scrambling for yards, or scrambling to bomb it deep down the sideline praying it either goes OB or Terry McClaurin catches it. He’s fun to watch and has definitely proven to be a quality starter

I think he looks great and I’m pissed my Seahawks didn’t draft him.

Same with Levis, Will.

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.

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 😅
