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.

      Seattle was a run heavy team

      By Navy_football · Posted

      No it isn't. 😅😅😅 If someone says he can't throw X many yards because he didn't do it last year, but he threw it X plus 10 yards in college, that shows he can. He may not have done it in Carolina, but that doesn't mean he can't do it. There is a real possibility that there were extenuating circumstances. These definitive but inaccurate statements are also known as hot takes or gross exaggerations.

      Mingo stat. Lost yards on uncatchable balls

      By Wundrbread33 · Posted

      Thanks for posting this. I don’t know how many of you guys also visit the Reddit panther sub, but damn Mingo catches so much poo in there, and Bryce gets every excuse.    Seems like inconsistent logic to me that Bryce gets a pass for the team dysfunction, but Mingo is just a bust.   I saw inconsistent tape from Mingo, but he had plenty of examples of good route running…showing me he can do it.   He was a rookie, and naturally was inconsistent with it. I don’t think we are dealing with Dwayne Jarrett here. I look forward to seeing him develop more consistency…and I hope Bryce can get him the ball if he does.

      my thing is, we have seen lots of good QBs play behind really bad OLs at times.  And yes, bad OLs impact everything.  But those good QBs, still have lots of moments showing how good they are behind bad OLs.  And frankly, a bad OL has never made any of them what we were last year.   Heck, many of them go to the playoffs with bad OL play.   That's my Bryce issue.  He didn't have really any moments that a #1 overall pick should of had.  Bad OL play included.     But I concede, Bryce was setup to fail.  And fail he did.  But if he was special, I still think that still has it's moments no matter what.
