OJ Howard is a Huge Cam fan

Only reason I wouldn't like Howard is because of value and how he doesn't seem to have that high of a ceiling in comparison to other TEs we could grab.

Nevertheless, most complete TE from this class, so I guess it's justifiable. He's pretty basic from a skills standpoint, but I'm more or less accepting the fact that if Fournette, Thomas, and Adams don't fall, he's probably (sadly) our next option.

There's nothing special about Greg Olsen either but somehow he's always open and catches everything

Really it's just me being scared OJ Howard doesn't live up to the hype. He has nothing to show on tape he'll be dominating in the league.

I hope I'm proven wrong if he's the pick.

Think of Alabama as Voltron.  OJ Howard was the Blazing Sword and they kept using those other useless weapons the entire time, when they could have just brought out the blazing sword and gone home.

Yep, so question is why didn't they use that blazing sword?

Is it an OJ Howard problem they tried to hide, or was it Bama themselves that is to blame? Most seem to want to say Bama, but I'm skeptical.

He is coming to the perfect system and the perfect veteran to develop under.

Bing bang botta boom!

    • I think Chuba is better in pass pro. I think Chuba does a better job setting up blockers, while Dowdle tends to just want to juke or outrun defenders. He has more big play potential, but probably won't get you the consistent numbers. He'll get you in more 3rd and long situations. Now I'm actually excited to see Etienne get more burn. That kid has big play ability written all over him. And he is NOT a punt returner. 
    • Maybe had you put it that way instead of dismissing the guy as a ‘radio’ I wouldn’t have pushed back. I get that. At the same time, he knows the team, he is brilliant at film diagnosis, highly disciplined and would have the instant respect of any and all players in that locker room. Coaches too probably. It is hard to overstate how good he was and that includes the mental side.  I wouldn’t bet against him. Give him a couple of seasons to get the job down.  I shouldn’t say every, but I bet it is every… OC or DC that got a HC gig has said they weren’t ready for everything that goes with being a HC. Totally different than the job they had been doing, because now they have to deal with everything and they didn’t even know what that was when they started.  edit: I guess a point I am trying to make with him is, you can work your way up through jobs but when you get promoted the job is not just a higher level of the job you were doing, it is a different job requiring new skills.  The failed HC ranks are full of great coordinators for that very reason.  I resist the dogma of you can’t be good at that unless you were good at LB coach or DC.  To me, Wilks wasn’t a real good DC but he somehow understood that HC job intuitively.
