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.

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      By frankw · Posted

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
