Panthers meet with Sam Howell


Recommended Posts

 

Panthers Are Reportedly Meeting With Notable Quarterback (msn.com)

I have always been on the Sam Howell bandwagon and after reading a couple of articles about all the QBs I believe he is being highly undervalued. 

Howell had an amazing 2020 and if he was eligible he would have probably been the 3rd QB off the board last year.  Many want to point it as a fault of Sam's but he lost 4 play makers off UNCs roster to the NFL after that season.  You don't just replace 4 NFL caliber players in one season.  He still came within 500 yds of matching is 202 stats.  Completion percentage was lower but some of it can be attributed to dropped passes. 

A couple of articles I have read compare Sam Howell to Drew Brees.   While there are others comparisons that compare him to lesser QBs.  More than one article compares him to Brees.

He's a tad taller but has the same arm strength and mobility.  He's not a runner but can use his legs to gain a 1st down when necessary. He also is good processor and isn't a one read QB. 

One interesting note I saw was Sam has the best 3rd down conversion of all QBs in this draft. 

I think he's going to make everyone regret passing on him in 10 days.  

I hope we trade down.  Grab a couple extra picks and select Howell.

If we were to trade back to the late teens early 20s I would take a hard look at him.

I would not mind Howell in a trade down one bit.

I think a trade back would be perfect for us.

I thought of a scenario of us taking Wills at 6 and keeping him away for N.O. and Atlanta.  Trading the pick later in the draft and getting Howell later plus a bunch of extra picks.

    • Almost may as well keep Dalton. Geno won’t be competition. IMO.  He could be but I don’t think they will take that approach. I think more Andy pt 2, big bro, mentor, emergency starter.  I really want to be wrong but we have had no encouraging signs there for two years.    If we are stuck with Bryce again, and it looks like we will be, I would so much more prefer a younger player with a possible future. A guy that hasn’t been great but maybe didn’t have the best situation - and let nature take its course. But I don’t expect anything that I want to happen, as far as it goes. It never does. Not one time yet under Tepper. Starting with the 3-4. 
    • We can go on and on about the players, but I'm more into judging Canales O based on the playcalling and general design. It's still a very mixed bag for me. There are times where I like what I see. The rolling pockets he'll call at times seem to play right into Bryce's best qualities which I like. Him using Jimmy Horn with certain plays is good - although execution by Horn has been frustrating when he missed an opportunity for a big play. if it's 4th down and a pass play, I like the odds of a good play. Giving Coker more snaps over XL recently is a potentially good sign that he's not satisfied with XL's mistakes and is adjusting accordingly. I don't follow why we don't use the tight ends more often in the pass game, but seems that those work better than average. At some point, we were really running the ball well, so that's something, I suppose. On the other hand, while he has shown to adjust, it often is too much of a swing in the other direction. Too often, we do something and it's working - like if running to the perimeter is getting us yards - only for Canales to then go back go stuffing up in the middle and wasting a down. Don't need to harp about the times when he tries to be too cute and it blows up in our faces. Canales has too many bad tendencies that our opponents are picking up on, like how we are quite likely to run on first down. Finally, I sometimes get the impression his play designs are for players that we don't actually have. We just don't really have explosive players on our teams that can make guys miss, and so these route concepts really should reflect the reality that YAC is not really expected and so it needs to be more vertical and/or have elements that help create separation by design. In other words, it still feels like the margin of error for a successful play, even a basic one, is too narrow.
    • Sure want him to play if possible!!!!
