    A lot of Sam's issues are gonna improve by just being in a balanced offense. And the fact that he's just 23 means he has plenty of time in front of him to improve on some the negative things he did last season...which I believe can be coached out of him with some time. Mostly just holding on to the ball for too long. Also not asking him to throw 40-50 times a game will limit the amount of times he's in situations to make bad throws.

    Sam howell has so many weapons and a great backfield something he didnt have in washington and i honestly think the commanders are going to regret this trade. This dude balled out in the beginning of the year but when you get sacked every play your confidence of course will go down. Honestly i think the teams in our division are hating that we got this guy because he can be deadly.

    Looking forward to seeing how Howell handles himself in the Pre-Season. Living in the greater DC area, I saw him a lot. His O-Line was routinely a triage, the running back situation was, at times, a joke. The receiving corps was inconsistent, with more potential than they ever showed on the field. A chance to work with Geno, to have a receiving corps that is just ready to explode, and having the running game behind him would be a major boon for Howell. Coming from the UNC style, he's more accustomed to a run to pass style, where his mobility can surprise and get critical first downs, or at least save a play. Fields, coming from the Memphis style we' saw nearly implode on itself at Va Tech, before the change of coaches there, needs some seasoning. Russ will be great, if he can adjust to the Steve DeBerg role as the vet QB that helps the young pups grow into their paws, and Justin needs that, to get his confidence back. I love Matt Eberflus, all the way back to his guiding Mizzou's defense in their back to back SEC East Division titles, but he needs to find an OC that runs an offense that the defense can be complimentary to, not the other way around.
    So, now that I rambled on, I cheered when I saw the 12s would get to see Sam Howell. I think it is a great trade and pick up. He'll learn a lot, and give a lot. I'd like to hear Geno's thoughts. He and Drew the last 2 years were so supportive, and competitive, to each other. I'm hoping Sam can adapt to that, as well. Plus, who knows, if Seattle goes with a QB draft pick, maybe we hide Howell on the Practice Squad, keep him around for the future and let him, as I have heard in some old wrestling stories "Sit at the foot of the learnin' tree."

    Sam had 10 games totalling 8 interceptions. That pace puts him at 13 interceptions during a season. Not great, but it's not terrible. The bad games came when his receivers were shutdown. Given that he was always playing from behind with the worst defense in the NFL and terrible play calling by his OC his interceptions should be higher. His last 3 games equated to the majority of picks. Team members quit trying, faking injuries, missing easy throws and falling down leading to interceptions. It was a mess. I'm glad Sam is at a good organization and a team with weapons.

    Our Oline was not much better than Commanders last year (Pass pro rank: SEA 28, WAS 32). Washington had lowest rush attempts in the league. Seattle was 2nd lowest. And both team's Ds sucked. Geno was just more adept at working under pressure. Howell played under similar pressure and questionable playcalling as Geno and his inexperience showed, but his talent flashed. I like the moves JS made to clear bloated contracts and aging/underperforming vets. But as of now, our OLine has got a LONG way to go. Seahawks need to draft a stud LG and hope Olu and Bradford are up to the task, and that Abe's knee is healthy. That's a lot of hope to rely on for a better season from whatever QB takes snaps.

    Howell is good value with potential for... who knows, but for a million dollars it's not costing much to find out. Drew Lock signed for $5 million I think. We're saving $4 mil in cap room, but did have to slide back in the draft some. It's not a huge price. We were already screwed on day 2 after trading for Big Cat. But at least they re-signed him. Maybe they can trade down for a 2nd. And just take the best OL and DL on the board at 1 and 2.

    I am no fan, but Howell is a better passer. It was obvious Washington did nothing to work with him to limit sacks or INTs. These things are usually common in a players first year as starter, it never got better, he had a terrible O'line to boot. He just needs someone to care about his development. I believe he was top 5 in yds and TDs last season (at one point), before a wheel fell off.

    Fields has the Tebow kiss of death. he will win but not from the pocket. You have to run a college option offense that fools people in the regular season but can’t win in the playoffs and will not lead to long term success. I find it a shame because Tebow and fields are good television but when a team doesn’t win enough it’s not just the QBs job that’s on the line.

    Because Field can't throw from the pocket. Fields can't throw up to this point in his career. Fields has shown you nothing in 3 years to make you think he'll be anything, but a one read and run QB. Howell has at least shown you something. 21 INTS! His INT rate was the same at Allen. I guess he's as good at turning it over as Josh Allen and he's supposed to be good. Howell throws the ball lightyear better the Fields. I might be wrong but throwing the football is kind of important for a QB. Unless of course you are a Fields lover then throwing the football doesn't matter.

    To be brutally honest, is there anything here in this video? you haven't answered the question asked in your title. You've read some stats, but not looked to see if play-calling or on-field talent were factors, or drops. The funny part is two of the three teams involved are ones where no one seems to know wtf happened. If Howell sucked, why did no one try to replace him or change the plays? Why did the Seahawks under-perform when they had a top-10 QB & amazing receiving corps?
    With Fields & the Bears at least we have some clue what the problems were, although I have yet to see anyone question the obviously false narratives about it. Saying "I' know Howell is great or better" doesn't _make_ him so & if he is, then point out what went wrong that he couldn't prove it! You made a video: put something _into_ it!
