I remember watching Drew Brees at Purdue and really wanted him and ever more pissed off when New Orleans signed him.  Anyhow, Brees looked amazing even back then.  

When I watch Sam last year I was impressed the same way.  Not to say Howell will be a HOFer but I got the same gut feeling when I saw Brees. 

Brees is the guy he considers his football idol

I hope he finds a much better landing spot than this fuging dumpster fire.

I know you are a Howell fan, and I believe I’ve read you post that you think he can be a good NFL QB down the road. I understand the frustration with the current state of the Panthers, but why would you want someone who you believe will be a good QB to NOT come to Panthers to, hopefully, help turn them around? Of course, this question is from the perspective of giving Howell time to develop versus throwing him into the fire next year.

Sam Howell

Howell, the former North Carolina star, also had a lackluster showing. “He was spotty,” said the NFL QB coach. “He didn’t throw it great, and he was in the ‘not as good’ group (of QBs). He seems maxed out. People like to compare him to Baker (Mayfield), but he doesn’t have Baker’s arm. Baker was super accurate; Sam’s pretty good, but I’m not sure. That offense he played in was so RPO-heavy. I look at him and Pickett and I wonder, how much better can they get?”

Because I have zero confidence in Tepper building and maintaining a competent football organization. Everything I've seen so far over four years suggests quite the opposite.

It's true. I obviously like Howell a lot and I think most are underrating him considerably but this is a BAD landing spot for a rookie QB.

It is a bad lading spot for any of these kids. Its an entirely new level of pressure on them to perform right out of the gate.  The pro game takes a much stronger mental makeup and commitment than the college game. Then you fact in an incompetent staff to help them transition? Good luck.

Its so difficult to predict who has a chance to transition and who cannot beyond the obvious guys like Cam. The most recent example would be Lawrence but the jury is still out on him, mainly due to the team he's on. Beyond those guys it's anyone's guess.

Personally, I think he would be the best choice for the franchise. He is the best deep ball passer in this draft. Last year, with depleted talent around him, he used his legs. In 2020, he didn't have to and had a much better statistical year. The kid is a gritty player and doesn't have a quit attitude. However, don't give him the keys. Sign a qb like Fitz to show the kid the ropes. Not a drama mama. Or even better yet sign Tyrod and hurt him...the last 4 guys are all looking pretty salty lol. I wonder how many qbs would have never been drafted with these "science" analytics. Old saying rings true...not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog. Plus being the local kid would rejuvenate a fan base.

      Panthers to work out UFL OPOY Hakeem Butler

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      Another source: NFL Rumors: Hakeem Butler to Visit Panthers After UFL Success, Wade Phillips' Praise ZACH BACHAR JUNE 10, 2024 The Carolina Panthers are expected to conduct a workout with UFL wide receiver Hakeem Butler, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Butler recorded a league-leading 652 receiving yards as a member of the St. Louis Battlehawks. He was previously a fourth-round draft pick by the Arizona Cardinals in 2019. After the Battlehawks were defeated by the San Antonio Brahmas in the XFL Conference title game, Brahmas head coach and longtime NFL coach Wade Phillips told the receiver that "I'm going to tell everybody in the NFL that I talk to that you need to be playing," via Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk. Despite the loss by St. Louis, Butler still hauled in six receptions for a team-high 59 receiving yards. The 28-year-old was named the 2024 UFL Offensive Player of the Year, as he was one of only two wideouts to have multiple games with at least 100 receiving yards. While the Panthers added Diontae Johnson and first-round rookie Xavier Legette to their wide receiver room in the offseason, they could still use some depth in the form of Butler. Carolina isn't opposed to picking up former UFL players, as Rapoport revealed on Thursday that the team is also "expected" to sign All-UFL receiver Daewood Davis. Although Butler was selected by the Cardinals in the 2019 draft, he did not play as a rookie due to a hand injury and only appeared in two regular-season games as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2020. He did not record a catch. Butler signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers during the 2023 offseason, although he ultimately didn't make the team's regular-season roster. At 6'5", he has the frame to potentially make an impact in training camp and earn a shot at making Carolina's 53-man roster. If his workout goes well with the Panthers, Butler could give himself another chance to possibly return to the NFL.

      They have all the rookies. The DC game has Ron though. With the new QB. It is weird.  pantherclaw, Bryce sort of is what he is, and in Madden he makes throws the real Bryce can’t make. Here and there. He ain’t ain’t a top QB in Madden though, lots of picks. aone of them lol was the throw that scares the hell out of me when he throws it, out to the boundary... quack quack.
