Hey all, Commanders fan here. I was wondering what the unbiased opinion on Sam Howell is looking right now. Obviously as Washington fan, I’m definitely looking at Sam through rose tinted goggles, more specifically, a QB with a crazy high ceiling with any woes being attributed to growing pains. However I know this is definitely a biased view and even a little naive. I was hoping to get a greater understanding on what the the NFL fanbase as a whole is feeling on him, perhaps to temper my own expectations. Thanks y’all

    He’s nothing special. Holds the ball way too long and you can’t make the excuse that he has no weapons. The Commanders o-line is below average, but he runs into a lot of sacks. I’ve watched him against the Bills, Giants, and Cardinals. If the Commanders are in a position to upgrade the QB position in the draft, you need to consider it. If they are punting the position and waiting for a stronger QB class, he’s a decent enough low end starter to hold onto and continue to rebuild. I’d rate him like a 75/100. Hurts is a 88. Dak is a 83. Daniel Jones is a 77.
