Hey all, Commanders fan here. I was wondering what the unbiased opinion on Sam Howell is looking right now. Obviously as Washington fan, I’m definitely looking at Sam through rose tinted goggles, more specifically, a QB with a crazy high ceiling with any woes being attributed to growing pains. However I know this is definitely a biased view and even a little naive. I was hoping to get a greater understanding on what the the NFL fanbase as a whole is feeling on him, perhaps to temper my own expectations. Thanks y’all
He was a stud at UNC and I think he has the traits needed to succeed as the franchise guy in Washington. Big arm, accurate everywhere on the field, and physical. Just needs development
as an eagles fan, he’s peyton manning
if only he could figure out how to play that well the other 15 games
As a FF owner in a competitive league and Captain Kirk out for the season, I’m hopeful he doesn’t let me down as my QB1
I can’t have a solidified opinion on him because his O Line is garbage so he’s always getting sacked
You mean Slingin’ Sammy Howell? He’s the man.
He’s got a ton of potential and I think he’s going to be very good very soon, however I feel like he pulls the old “Aaron Rodgers” to where he holds on to the ball for a while looking for an open man and gets sacked
i don’t want to pay him ever again lol
Get the man an offensive line.
Alright, I’ll hang up anf listen.

I can’t figure out if Howell has good weapons, a good line, a good HC, or a good OC.
When he plays the Eagles it’s must watch TV. He takes a lot of sacks but it feels like he’s so close to mastering that style of pocket presence.
He looks like a player that is only going to get better the more reps he gets.
From how he performed against my team, I’m assuming he’s at the top of the mvp race
I think probably half of the teams in the league would take Sam Howell over their current QB situation, so there’s your proof.
I think he’s your franchise QB, but let’s see how he does if he makes a playoff game.
I feel like if yall make the right Head Coach hiring Rivera is inevitably fired hell be really good player.
Tbh his body is going to get broken behind that line before he really develops into whatever his potential is. Taking those hits year 1 is real different than year 5+
As someone who has him in fantasy, he’s pretty solid!
