Castavar

3 back to back 300+ yd games with a 8-2 td-int isn't "potential" to you as a first year starter? If Bryce Young did that, he would be getting non stopped praised and handed an extension. Howell showed more in his first year starting than Bryce has whole whole career.

I mean, ups and downs are to be expected for a 23 year old first year starter. But he showed huge potential all season and has a huge arm. All I'm saying is all these castoffs and terrible 2nd year QBs continue to get chance after chance, while Sam Howell has proven he can throw in this league and doesn't even get an opportunity to start on another team after a decent year as a first year starter.

Why Sam Howell hasn't been given another chance to start on a team after putting up decent numbers on a bad commanders team running for his life (most sacked QB in the league in 2023) is beyond me, especially when you have the likes of Geno Smith, Bryce Young, JJ McCarthy, Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor, Trevor Lawrence, and Tua still being given a chance. In 2023: Passing yards (15th) Completion % (14th) Total TDs (12th) YPG (17th) QBR (24th) I think Sam Howell would absolutely kill it in Canales' system. Throw a late rounder the Eagles way and go get him. Still only 25 too. Low risk high reward.

Was literally about to say exactly this. I have absolutely no problem with this if we actually bring in legit competition (either by FA or draft).

Canales and Curhan go back to their Seattle days.

All people (that get millions) had to do was watch that LSU game against Bryce in 2022. What they did in that game was the closest thing Bryce was going to see every Sunday, and he struggled mightily. It's kind of ironic, that game was the most Bryce game ever. He threw a redzone int early, it took him 51 passes to even crack 300 yds, he held onto the ball too long, he couldn't see down the middle because LSU was busting up the middle, he short armed a bunch of throws, etc. You would think our scouts and FO that get paid millions would have easily saw this red flag, yet they chose to ignore it and based their decision of his backyard football highlight tape lol Meanwhile CJ Stroud faced a defense that was going to be similar to what he was going to see every Sunday and passed with flying colors.

Preach brotha. Just another case of "the huddle was right" yet again. To be fair though, Ben Johnson was NEVER coming here. He noped tf outta here after his first interview. Adam Peters didn't even want anything to do with us either. Smart football minds are avoiding Tepper like the plague. Speaks volumes.

It was the clear after year 1. You either show glimpses of a franchise QB (even on very bad teams) or you don't. Bryce showed absolutely nothing year 1 that even resembled that he could be a franchise QB.

Hate to break it to ya, we aren't getting anybody better than Canales as a HC because of Tepper's reputation. Canales at least has us in playoff contention late in November. Bryce on the other hand needs to gtfo as soon as this season ends. I YEARN for Teddy Bridgewater watching Bryce, that's how fuggin bad he is. I have no doubt though (following the trends of this stupid ass franchise and owner) that Bryce will no doubt be our starting QB next year with no real competition brought in.

I wonder if Tepper likes being clowned on National television

Making the playoffs means Bryce gets an extension. Pick your poison

Any penalty on offense is an automatic punt

Jake Curhan I think is his name. Yeah he did good the last time he had to fill in

Oh look, a big Dowdle run. Who'd thunk it
