Ryan Clark on Howell at half: "Imagine we were talking about a Bryce Young or Anthony Richardson and he was playing like this how excited we would be."

I love Howell, I mentioned before but I literally just acquired him in my dynasty league (actually traded Stroud for Howell and some other pieces)… but let’s be fair to Young and Richardson, Howell has a full year of NFL experience under his belt.

Full year of NFL practice. Only one actual game. It's not nothing, but Sam is basically the equivalent of a redshirt freshman in college.

And the NFL practice and overall NFL experience is 100% different than that of a college player. College is fully structured as where the NFL isn’t. The difference is night and day. So we’ll have to disagree in the assessment of Howell being essentially a redshirt freshmen.

Howell knows how to be a professional and he’s seen the differences between the college game and the NFL in both practice and in a start.

Young and Richardson haven’t even been made it out of their first offseason yet.

There’s really no comparison. If Howell is the player that I think he is and I believe you think he is, he should be further along than Young and especially Richardson.

McLaurin has a "toe injury". I used to scoff at toe injuries until I suffered a turf toe injury. It's very not funny when it happens to you and you realize just how debilitating it is for your big toe not to be able to bear weight. I never truly recovered. That toe hurt for literally years and it turned into a bunion but it doesn't hurt anymore so fug it. 😂

UNC could quite possibly have two starting QB’s in the NFL next year, what a time to be alive.

And yet we've largely just squandered it. UNC can have elite defenses and elite offenses but it seems to be a law of the universe that when it happens that elite unit has to be paired with an absolute bottom of the barrel unit on the other side of the ball.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By CRA · Posted

      my understanding is a big time throw, could be a 5-10 yard slant to Adam Thielen given AT isn't going to separate.

      It's a subjective stat that PFF made up. https://www.pff.com/news/pro-pff-qb-grading-most-effective-tool-there-is
