Sam's the only QB in this draft that gets credit for playing bad last year. I wonder why that is?

 

Pickett played well...no credit for him

Willis played rather well...no credit for him

 

Yet Howell played badly, (Well, he had lots of yards on the ground) and he is the chosen one? LOL

CMP ATT CMP% YDS AVG TD INT LNG RTG
2021-----217 347 62.5 3,056 8.8 24 9 76 154.2
2020----237 348 68.1 3,586 10.3 30 7 87 179.1
2018----259 422 61.4 3,641 8.6 38 7 68 160.2

Statistically he did not play bad last year. He was a little less productive as a passer but the added ground yards really helped compliment his game. I think some folks see his performance in a positive light because he really gave great effort and found a way to make things "better" with a much less talented supporting class.

I do not think he is a top QB in this draft but Id be surprised if he last into round 3. He has a lot of traits to develop.

According to those stats, he has gotten worse every year. Isn't that kinda the opposite of what you may be looking for?

 

So...regression is the new progression.

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

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

That's an important stat. I think he's a solid choice in the back half of round 1.

If it was the NFL that may matter. Not as a college player with tons of different factors

I'm an Auburn fan and I think he is being undervalued this draft.  He played great the previous year and lost his playmakers plus his OL played like poo.  I don't think we should take him at 6, but I'd be all for drafting him or Corral after a trade down.

I agree 100%. For the record, I'm a NC State fan, so I KNOW who I want at 6, but trading down and getting Howell plus an extra top 50 pick would be awesome, If we can't get a plug and play LT.

Its a snapshot. His stats are not horrible. Better Comp % 2 years ago, More TD's and Yards 3 years ago. Then figuring in the improved rushing this year--its not all regression unless you are lookin g at it in a limited fashion. The kid makes adjustments to his game, has some tools, and is a dog. IMO He is not the most polished prospect-he was some flaws fore sure-- but there are some positive traits to work with.

Oh, give me a break. If those stats were reversed? Folks would be drooling over the kid. 

 

Every metric except Comp% went down every year. And that went up, then back down. 

 

Praise the guy for what he is. But the stats don't back the rest up.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I think you have to factor in that we're still not an attractive proposition for Head Coaches. You're not getting the cream of the crop if you fire Canales a year after winning the NFC South, especially considering the situation he walked into.

      Yeah, I was about to say I hope he's doing okay health-wise because he's not looking good in that pic.

      Honestly, I dont  think he should be on the hot seat yet. A bad start to next year, then yes. Despite our mistakes on play calling this past season, we played better than anticipated overall. Bryce showed improvement and maturity (although still not nowhere close to our expectations). Better record and 2-15 to 5-12 to 8-9. Despite what we feel the stats dont lie we are improving by 3 wins a year. Could 11-6 be our expectation. That's a high bar but at the rate we are going, thats what its looking like. We all want to see a 5-12 to a 13-4 record but we are methodically moving up. Success doesnt happen overnight (well in most cases).  IMO we are struggling mostly on the defensive end. LB and edge are our biggest weakness. I see Bryce making improvements (even though I was a Bryce hater) next year. Biggest concern is LT on offense. How to fix this? We need a big name edge or to trade up and get a big name edge or LB and pick up one in FA and draft one. Also if in the 3rd we can pick up a TE. Dont know if Sanders is the answer or Tremble (even though I love Trembles blocking and power after the catch). If these two can get their footwork together they would be great. Maybe all they need is a better TE coach. And if Brooks can stay healthy and be the back we thought he could be, man that would be great
