He's got everything you want, but taking too many hits. I guess that's one of the blessings of youth-- durability and quick healing. I'm hopeful for our future
He already figured out the reads for no interceptions, now he’s gonna read not to get sacked. Watch Sam Howell, he’s gonna fix it this game Sunday. 1 sack he’ll have Sunday. And that’s cause Cosmi lets his guy go. Or sam doesn’t throw the ball in the stands.
I honestly think that dropped ball by dotson was his best throw. The touch the ball had was perfect slowed down with enough height right over two defenders throws like that are what get me VERY excited about Sam Howell
Im going to say it… I’m NOT saying he’s Josh Allen… but he has a very similar playing style and similar tendencies. He’s a bit more condensed (size wise) and not as gifted in arm talent but given what I’ve seen this far I think with a solid offensive line that allows him to hold the ball and play his style of game that suits him, he is showing the tools needed to potentially become a tier 1/2 QB in this modern NFL game. Especially with a creative OC like EB. He’s a really really talented passer I think even more so than I originally thought. He’s already the best “pure passer” in the division and I’m not sure it’s close. He makes great throws under pressure with guys in his face almost every game. The pocket is rarely just clean.
@@JasonWilliams-um8im Sam, as the decision maker AND EB as the O scheme, have joint responsibility for most of the sacks. I'm no expert, just a fan - and I see Sam throwing chunk yardage passes FIRST, rarely checking down, and that's where the sacks play in. That same .5 second waiting for one or more receivers X or Y, to break open enough to get the ball to them, that same time is used by the D line to get to him and sack him. He's already sending beautiful throws downfield; his anticipation and touch in this scheme are wonders to behold (in the 2.7 seconds to decision and throw).
This is his first full-year start and already looks as good or better than many of the NFL starting QBs. What is exciting about him is that he seems to have a very short learning curve. His rcvrs dropped some long balls against Atlanta that should have been caught. Been watching since the Sonny Jurgensen/Billy Kilmer days and I am very excited about the prospects of this QB becoming an elite QB in the NFL, provided he doesn't get hurt taking all those sacks.
After being a Washington fan for 50 years I can say I haven’t been this excited for a QB since Theismann. When I saw the incredible leap he made from last year’s preseason to the Dallas game I would more surprised that he wasn’t the future.
Sam is a franchise qb. Josh allen 10 td 12 int his 1st yr. Troy aikman 1-15 his 1st year. Sam is young, eb is new, the oline has 3 new starters n 1 playin a new position. Sam has manning level study habits, eb needs to fix the running game and then call more balanced games and the oline needs to gel. I believe all of that will happen and then we will see a breakout for sam and the offense. R-E-L-A-X people.
I can say as a UNC fan, he can grow to be very good. His negatives are his height and his tendency to hold on to the ball too long looking for the long ball. His positives are his deep ball accuracy, mobility, and he is known to be a student of the game. From what I can tell from the few games I've caught of Washington, their OLine is horrible. He doesn't have time to diagnose the defense or cut loose the long ball. This is the type of scenario that can stunt a young QB's growth. Hope they fix that soon.
Great break down. I’m a life long commanders fan (32 years) & I genuinely think Howell is the best we’ve had since Rypien. He is a baller & I think will prove that more and more as he gains experience
@@johnwickonspeed7701his passes are more on point this year and I don't think he's expecting them to be on target after all 2 bad qbs were throwing to him
The problem is not Howell. The problem is the offensive line. If they can give him 2 to 3 seconds more time in the pocket he can get the ball out to the receivers much better. Once he starts shredding the backs with huge gains in pass yardage, the D would switch to pass coverage and force Howell to throw underneath. That's when they should hand off to the RBs and gouge them up the middle. Once they fix the O-line problem, they will become a playoff caliber team.
@@jjay__ I believe the average is 4 to 6 seconds. I've seen Sam get sacked in less than 3. If he can't decide to throw in the pocket, he needs to learn to read the defense and decide where to throw before the snap. the will help cut down sacks.
Looking at this tape I'm seeing Gibson almost always open with nothing but green in front of him but Sam prefers throwing deeper rather than getting yac. Doing the safe thing to Gibson on 3rd down would have almost guaranteed a 1st down and probably 20 yards which is almost what would have happened IF receivers caught the ball. We need to throw more on 1st down and hit Gibson more on every down.
I think all Sam needs is a solid o-line. That will open up the running and the passing game a lot more. That's the only thing that the offense is missing 🤷🏽♂️
I’m a UNC Football fan. Sam Howell is GREAT. Uninformed Draft narratives were pinned on him which has kept him discounted and underrated unfortunately !
@@JasonWilliams-um8im Uh yeah Howell has a way stronger arm than Brees did that's pretty obvious to anyone with a pair of eyes. Brees 52 MPH ball velocity. Howell 59 MPH ball velocity not close. Howell has a CANNON
@@JasonWilliams-um8imdrew Brees never had a very strong arm. He was insanely accurate and knew where to go with the ball every time. Howell definitely has a stronger arm. Doesn't mean he's a better QB by any means just that he's got a cannon
I don't think that he plays exactly Like Drew Breeze. Sam is a solid 220+ and played LB as well as QB in high school. When he runs, he bounces off LBs and runs over DBs. You are correct; he does have a stronger arm and throws a better deep ball.
If he doesn’t do something about the sacks, he won’t be around very long. I don’t even think Brett Favre could finish a season getting sacked at this rate
It won't be long before everyone will be comparing all the other QB's to Sam Howell instead of the other way round. All the teams that passed on him are now realizing what a huge blunder their draft personnel made! He should already be rated as one of the top ten QB's in the league. Go ahead and say "oh no" just to be proven wrong again. POMO
Lmfaoo Our wr routes are fucking terrible!!!!!! I see why he holds the ball and tries to extend plays. If he doesn’t no one gets separation! All the routes are on top of each other and have zero spacing! I give Howell all the credit he deserves
How are you feelin about Sam Howell so far?
He’s a franchise QB .. if he keeps holding it he’s baker mayfield if he doesn’t he’s Cj stroud ..
He's got everything you want, but taking too many hits. I guess that's one of the blessings of youth-- durability and quick healing. I'm hopeful for our future
Doing great for how new he is
Our QB for the future, clean up the sacks and he will be fine.

Jahan was like I’ve never seen such a beautiful ball before! Smack..
That pass and the one hand drop on the no-call DPI against Dyami Brown were two absolute dimes
DOT!
Now he’s going g to the best receiving core in the nfl welcome to Seattle young man
If you put Sam behind a good offensive line he'd be lethal !!! EB needs to use the run game more to help Sam as well !
Yup! Idk how a former RB can’t design effective run plays or even commit to the run….

@@gerardanderson8688 The O-line is ranked top 10 in pass rush win rate. Sam is responsible for 75 percent of his sacks.

Great specific breakdown on the offensive plays. Keep em coming.
5:52 Man what a great designed play by EB. I'm surprised Terrel was even there, he is good though so.
I love Sam Howell. You know who else loves Sam? Kay Adams 😂
These refs needa start throwing these roughing the passer calls for Sam my goodness
You’re right… they drive him into the ground man…
They won’t. It’s the Commanders. They hate our guts and it’s obvious.
I agree! They are driving him into the ground, which is roughing the passer on any other quarterback
I’m glad somebody’s realizing he’s better than anything we’ve had in a while

Good break down young fella
Great great analysis. Need Sam to chill with the sacks. He was solid. If he can cool it with the sacks I think we got our franchise guy
He’s running for his life pretty much the whole game because of our line. Rivera did him dirty by not drafting to protect him.
Is it me, or has Jahan dropped most of his targets this year....? He seems alot more sure handed last year.
I’ve seen him drop more than he catches and a lot of his drops hit him in the hands
Jahan will be fine. Growing pains
@@johnwickonspeed7701his passes are more on point this year and I don't think he's expecting them to be on target after all 2 bad qbs were throwing to him

But definitely holds the ball too long
Say what you want. Howell is a beast.
If Howell had a Dallas OL he would be one of best QB's in league.
Please let’s invest in some safety for Sam Howell.
Just need EB to figure out how to be more effective on 1st and 2nd because Howell takes sacks on obvious passing downs. Hope he can get better at it
The only way Howell is better than we thought is if he’s forgotten everything he learned under Mack Brown at unc
He plays exactly like drew breees. Same body type, motion just with stronger arm
Stronger arm??? You tripping!!

I like Sam! However, you can make a low-light of all the passes he missed as well. 2 for sure Touchdowns.
Watched this game live and once on the all 22 and I must have missed the two missed touchdowns... When was that?
This didn't age well. He's looked like straight dumpster juice vs the Giants today
