Does this season show that Howell is good enough for the NFL or does it mean he comes back for sure?
No way there is an NFL line so bad that he'll have less time. Throwing the ball away is a weakness for him though. That's easily correctable. Other than that, he doesn't really have any big issues.i’d leave if i were him…his arm isn’t questioned…pocket awareness just seems average.
i don’t understand why he doesn’t have the “live for another play” mindset…he’ll have less time as a pro, just ptb twice and decide.
in relative terms there are some poor lines…the giants can’t protect jones at all and the steelers line is also bad.No way there is an NFL line so bad that he'll have less time.
We were competitive. But, we always lose those games... always.Well it does bear mentioning that being competitive against a top ten team on the road in a prime time game is a big leap
Unless something weird happens he's going in the second round at the latest. There's nothing logical about him coming back and I bet Mack will say the same.There are so many NFL QBs that never do anything but backup or sign 1 year deals only to move on with another team the following year as a back up. Those that seem to make it are drafted high and teams put in extra time and effort since they used a high pick to get them in the first place. Seems that Howell could improve his position with a winning record and can be the top QB taken if he stayed another year but just like other sports a paycheck goes a long way towards making that decision. So I expect him to go but honestly think it would be better to stay.
(The Steelers are going to need a long term QB for the future starting next year. Wonder if??)
Imagine how bad we'll be without Sam Howell!Unless something weird happens he's going in the second round at the latest. There's nothing logical about him coming back and I bet Mack will say the same.
Without Sam, we are 2-6 at best.Imagine how bad we'll be without Sam Howell!
I mean, I realize that Howell has to eventually move-up. I dunno if Drake Maye is as good as Sam, or potentially as good. Not to mention, I'm not confident that we have the coaching staff that can develop talent, or anything else.Without Sam, we are 2-6 at best.
With just an AVERAGE defense, we should be 6-2 or better.
Let's just hope Maye is as good as advertised. Of course even if he is, the OL will probably get him killed.Imagine how bad we'll be without Sam Howell!

earliest…four qb’s are now ahead of him in a very weak class.Unless something weird happens he's going in the second round at the latest. There's nothing logical about him coming back and I bet Mack will say the same.
Those are from talking heads, not NFL scouts. No doubt he doesn't drop beyond second round.steelers, giants, wft, falcons,
