You didn't watch any of the previous two years did you? 

No he didn’t. Talking about 2 reads max, not realizing most college level QBs get 1-2 reads max. 
 

Not bashing Willis because I like him but Howell makes better reads and his mechanics are about the same.

While that may be true, most college level QBs aren’t getting drafted into the NFL. Willis and Corral both run an RPO offense, and while UNC incorporated some RPO into their game - you can’t really compare it. Phil Longo designed his offense to make it varied upon the defense and simplified it to run max number of plays out of different packages. It is based on mainly predetermined defensive reads, rather than progressions.

Of course I did, this past year is just the most troublesome. He didn’t have the best protection nor an elite running game and it exposed a lot of his flaws. Instead of navigating the pocket, he chose to throw off-platform or flat out run outside of the pocket. While that may pass in college, it doesn’t translate to the league. He’s a project who maybe starting caliber in 2-3 years.

It became a one read and bolt offense. Because it had to be.

That should make a very good QB right?

He definitely has a chance.  Howell is being overlooked IMO.  McShay continues to say that Howell can make all the throws and is a definite candidate to be really good.  Agree there

Agreed. I've always thought the Baker comp was a pretty good one physically. Big difference between the ears though.

 

Yeah, you won’t ever have any ego problems with Sam Howell.  His leadership and character are a big plus.

Howell will have some limitations early and probably needs some time but he will also come out and throw 4 TDs on good days.  The guy has always done that.  Best deep ball in the draft IMO.

He is a serious sleeper 

That he produced last season behind an atrocious, really bad OL gets points from me too

JT O'Sullivan went further into Howell than any other QB.  Part 8 (The 2021 NC State game) warmed me up a ton and it's because how poorly everyone around him played.  He still managed to have them in it until the final Hail Mary bomb.  Has a few footwork things he can clean up but he is pretty close to the all around QB you look for today with no measurables, arm or mobility concerns.  It's all at least avg to above-average.    

Considering this class, I think Corral & Howell are the obvious ones that still have legit upside and can play pretty close to immediately. 

Rather than Baker, I see a mini-Big Ben with a bit of Dak Prescott.  He's a bit more of a truck.  Like a short truck of a man.

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
