I know many of you have Sam Howell lower on your draft boards and I personally think it's a mistake.

In 2020 when Carolina had great weapons and a porous defense Sam continually kept them in the game.  

We all know he has the arm to play in the NFL and IMO all the other tools to do well.  Many want to put 2021 as gauge on Sam.  If you had switched 2020 and 2021 season Sam would clearly be the best QB in this draft.   I don't think his skills diminished or were a flash in the pan.  He just didn't have the supporting cast he had in 2020. I am a Tarheel football fan along with ECU. (student there many moons ago) UNC is not a powerhouse football program. UNC cannot replace NFL level talent like the Ohio States and Alabamas can. What Sam had in 2020 cannot be replaced and it showed.  You can't blame Sam for the lack of talent around him.

Assuming we fix our line.  Sam would have the weapons here.  We have quality Wideouts and depending on CMCs health a good to great running game. 

Many dislike him and that's your opinion but IMO we will regret passing on him.   I believe he is going to have a long career in the NFL.

He'll be long gone by then. 

What's your analytical reason why you don't want him.  

I have anything at all against Howell.  I would much rather they take a shot at him than gut the team for Watson. 

Having said that I have not watched more than 2 quarters of his game.  From what I saw he will struggle at this level if he doesn't get a great qb coach. 

All of the QB's in this class are in the same boat. None should be expected to start next season.  If your team does then may God have mercy on their careers.

I hope he finds a much better landing spot than this fuging dumpster fire.

I remember watching Drew Brees at Purdue and really wanted him and ever more pissed off when New Orleans signed him.  Anyhow, Brees looked amazing even back then.  

When I watch Sam last year I was impressed the same way.  Not to say Howell will be a HOFer but I got the same gut feeling when I saw Brees.

“Former North Carolina quarterback Sam Howell recorded the hardest throw of Thursday’s 2022 NFL Scouting Combine, clocking a 59-MPH pass. Howell topped former Kent State quarterback Dustin Crum’s mark of 55 MPH.”

I didn't mention the combine but Sam had one of the better performances. 

I'll be a closet fan of the team that chooses him unless of course he's in the NFCS.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
