Personally I love Sam Howell.. I think 1 more year of college couldve helped him out immensely. But if we are able to trade back and possible scoop him late round 1 early round 2 that to me could be a winning situation if we had a good veteran qb to help ease him into the scene... His deep ball is beautiful, and he has the ability to move the pocket with his athleticism...

If you want to legitimately criticize Howell, you should criticize the fact (along with Corral) that he ran a lot of RPO plays.  That means you have one read and if it is not open, you run the ball.  No three reads and then dump to the outlet.  His release is not as quick as Pickett or Corral's, but it is as quick as Willis' release. Those are legitimate, specific, REASONS for concerns over him--not "Well, the Tar Heels had a bad year and Howell sucks."  Might as well write "idiot" on your forehead with a Sharpie.

I think you are correct. He is interesting and if we trade back I think he is definitely in play. I don't think he is ready to.plug and play but in the right system he could do well.  I hope he wasn't David Carred running for his life all year.

      QBs that would cost next to nothing and are better than anything we currently have.

      By strato · Posted

      I am no football savant as has been demonstrated here over and over, but I saw it.  I went for years doing the mock draft thing and researching the players that we might get around our pick, time consuming stuff. And we would get to the draft and trade the pick. All that time, wasted.  So I quit doing that. Also realized I was not a scout and would never be a scout and went to looking the videos and reports After  we picked a guy.  Maybe I would look at the 1st round, but quit that too and just looked after we picked.    When they did that trade I saw Bryce and his size and just ruled him out. Then it got to yeah they are probably going to take him, I relented and looked at some video and got to his pro day. It took me all of a few minutes to see the issues. The footwork. The arm. And the tape of games? The backyard style. I knew, what can I say?  (Also, went down the physical checklist, not a single plus attribute on the NFL level. Arm, speed, size, etc, nothing to offset the negatives. nothing)  I think it was easy for me because I had not watched a single game he played in college,and wasn’t drawn in by the hype. Had no preconceived notions and just looked at it pretty clinically.  I got in here and everyone was going “but look at what he did in college! It is the SEC, if he can do it in the SEC he can do it in the NFL!” Couldn’t reason with hardly anyone.  I don’t think I could tell you which guy would succeed between two prototypical guys with great arms and athleticism, and have no special insight into any of that. My one calling in football scouting was to see the real about what we were about to do. And you still don’t know for sure until they get in a real game in the NFL.

      Miss Bryce sorely is possibly the most hilarious statement I have read on the Huddle in quite some time.

      He did only throw 1 pass 20+ in that game. I think he is still struggling to adjust to the NFL. At Alabama he was able to extend plays and play backyard football. That's not only not the style of offense we have been running but his physical skills don't lend themselves to that style of play at this level.  So, the amount of issues he actually has to clean up are WAAAAAY more than I anticipated as a guy that had Bryce #1 on my board in that draft class.  I am just not seeing a reasonable path for him to clean it all up and develop in a reasonable timeframe
