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.

Soured on him big time after many moons ago thinking he had some 6th overall consideration. Avoid til mid rounds.

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.

Day 2 I'd be all for it but we don't have a 2nd rounder and he'll be gone by round 3.

Howell won't even be in the top 4 qb's picked..

That's cute, you think we're a dumpster fire. But hey, way to stay optimistic.

I'm out of optimism for Tepper and Rhule's Panthers.

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.
