As a UNC fan even I know they have never produced a legitimate QB in the NFL.

Howell doesn't have the cannon I'm looking for. Plus isn't he short? 

No thanks Jeff.

The college argument is dumb. Especially with different coaches/systems. Texas Tech never produced a legitimate QB, thank God we didn’t take a risk on Patrick Mahomes right? LSU before Burrow? GTFO with that nonsense.

Talk of Sam Howell not being a first rounder is silly.  He could easily go #1.  I would take him there.  This draft is fairly weak to be honest.  Expecting the QBs to rise but so many question marks with these dudes.  I just like Howell but Corrals mobility is in demand.

The strength in this draft could be OL which is nice.

Sam Howell would be the biggest bust QB to ever come out of the state.

Why, is it the transition from that offense or bc of his height? He has a good arm and is fairly mobile, won't know if he can't process the game unless he gets in a NFL building. Worse QBs have gone in the first round in the last three years

I think he's small. I don't like their scheme.

One thing that has definitely hurt NFL QB development is the spread option offense and especially those stupid sideline play cards.

I just have a bad feeling about Howell.

I just think these days the QBs going in the first round are all dudes with deep arms and can run around some, and that teams that do the best job of surrounding their QBs with talent have the most success. Howell can do those things and the lack of strength at the top works in his favor to being drafted earlier in my eyes. 

Honestly I'd laugh if he's drafted by the Falcons.

Lol Howell is no Russ or Drew.

If height is his only weakness these QBs make your argument invalid. He is the same height as Baker with more weight on him. Taller than Brees, Russ, Murray, one inch shorter than Lamar with 10 more pounds, and one inch shorter than Aaron Rodgers. So it’s a dumb argument.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
