Exactly the response I've come to expect from Howell. He'll give this team a chance if Ron's D will allow for it.

Honest question. Why do you go to great lengths to defend Sam but are so willing to write Bryce off after 3 games? I get you’re a UNC fan but as a mod, just seems like a weird thing to promote around here. I mean Howell is as average as it gets.

One guy has shown NFL caliber physical talent.

I don't promote anything. My opinions are my own.

This announcer calling for a Rivera offense to play with more tempo. Bro... did you miss Cam Newton's career? We all screamed it until we were blue in the face.

When Cam went no huddle/up tempo we always looked like a completely different team

To be fair it way to early to declare Howell as average just as it’s way too early to declare Young as a bust.

Yeah, Bryce did too. For a college football fan you should know that. We don’t know why Bryce isn’t throwing downfield. You’re willing to attribute Sams below average play to Ron and a shitty supporting cast, so why not Bryce? 

Our play calling and OL sucks. But our offense sure looked a lot different with Dalton.

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • 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.
