3 carries - 17 yards

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."

Everybody talking about Howell, im more impressed with Eric Bieniemy playcalling.

It was good. But you don't draw it up for your QB to break two tackles in the pocket, roll out with a DE hot on his heels and drop a dime down the field. That's the QB.

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.

Guess it depends on what Rattler shows up.

And which Mack Brown shows up, angry Mack or grandpa Mack.

And if Gene Chizik learned how to put together a defense.

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.

Yeah for sure. It could go either way. Can’t wait though.
