Re: Sam Howell Traded

we are all arm chair QBs

Adam Peters is a professional and one the best at his job

Adam decide to trade SH for basically a wash or slight upgrade and the only team to draft him was us in the 5th round by a notoriously bad talent evaluator in RR

that is all you need to know about SH chances of being a franchise QB; he will be a solid back up for yaers and honestly that is pretty damn good for a 5th rounder

A fair enough statement, I don't think anyone thought he was a franchise QB, but of the 32 starting QBs in the league he wasn't the worst but arguable in the bottom 5 or 10. But QBs of any type are valuable assets, especially those on 5th round rookie contracts. Destined to be a good backup for the next ten years, but teams who don't have a top QB, or a chance of drafting one, will always overpay for the Sam Howells of this world.

Re: Sam Howell Traded

Part of me wishes they would have kept Sam rather than sign Marcus. It's probably only because I was hoping he would work out. But obviously the new staff valued Marcus (at up to $10 mil) over Sam (at less than $1 mil), and that says all you need to know.
