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 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

    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 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.

    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+
