That would be a total Snyder move

It's dumb to go after another QB when you got one, I'm sorry but I don't know what more people want to see from Howell. I remember the Chargers got rid of Brees, how did that turn out. Rivers was good, Brees was great!!

Brees had been in the league for 5 years before he was let go by the Chargers.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Howell and I am rooting for him. But unless the team goes into a crazy winning streak, with Howell at the helm, I find it hard to believe a new GM and coaching staff are going to go all in on him.

Also, we just got rid of an owner that meddle in football matters/personnel with disastrous consequences, why TF would you want Harris to do that?

Ok say CJ Stroud was our QB and not Howell, would you still draft a QB? What’s the difference between CJ and Sam besides being a second overall pick and the other a 5th rounder. I view both as the same, people need to get over the, he was a 5th rounder and see what he’s doing.

Honestly, if we drafted Stroud and a new regime came in and blew it up based on what they saw I would be okay with it. Would I agree with it? No. Same for me with Sam he is definitely someone that I like, but if the new front office doesn't well okay then.

But, as my grandfather used to say, "Don't drop your free bowl of soup..." ;-)

CJ Stroud was drafted by a GM and a HC who are going to be there next year. That's the difference.

All I'm saying is that anything is on the table with a new GM and HC. And no one in the new regime is going to say, "we're set at QB."

Definitely. If this team finishes 5-12, there's no way in hell a new GM is going to hitch their wagon to the QB that was hand picked by the outgoing coaching staff.

I really like Sam and I think with the way he’s playing he’s going to make it very hard for a new GM to not stick with him. We still have him for 2 more seasons on a dirt cheap contract. That’s a very enticing 2 year window to build this team up around him and see where it goes.

But if a new GM decides to go a different route I’m ok with that. Ownership should have no say in who our QB is. We lived through countless piss poor QB decisions by Dan, I’m so done with that shit.

Thankfully Harris doesn’t seem to be that type of owner.

Hire the very best GM candidate there is with absolutely no strings attached on personnel moves at any position. Then let him figure the QB situation out. The very last thing we want is any Snyder type meddling. For the love of all that's good in the world, we don't want that!
