Not sure why people keep talking about Howell. At his best he's a middle of the pack QB. Saying that he's probably the best UNC QB to play in the NFL which is honestly sad to say.

I mean, he leads the NFL in passing yards and has a worse O-Line than Young and an avg at best offense and is coached by Ron.

Says the "UNC fan". 😂

Yeah, it was wild how Howell was the only guy out there and single handedly lost.

Howell is leading the NFL in passing yardage on an awful team with a lame duck coach, the worst D in the NFL, and an OC just trying to audition for HC roles vs. trying to run a functional offense. He's about the only thing right about that team.

My point in bringing up Howell is that the Heels would have been utterly awful with our defenses without Howell and Maye at QB. Mack has been floated by getting the two best QBs we've ever had and doing very little in the other side of the ball. I know that's obvious and you're just a troll but figured I'd point that out for anyone who actually cares.

That “team” may be awful, but Howell has pretty good weapons.

Leading the NFL in passing yards is cool, but you need to have team success to back it up. Cowboys waxed them he had 300+ yards and only 10 points.

 

If he starts winning then we can legit start discussing him as a franchise QB. Last I heard from people in Washington they still view him as a stop gap QB not a franchise QB.

Yeah, it's Howell's fault that they literally have the worst D in the league and no running game. He really should be making more tackles.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
