I am ok with Sam Howell

[SoupcanSam]

I actually like this. Milton is the type who will fold against challenging teams. Sam is the type that will scrap it out in a battle regardless who it is. In a battle, sam may have something like 2-3 int, but will also have 4-5 TD in the same game. Milton wont give you that. Sam has some of that vintage Kirk Cousins dawg in him. I like the move.

When sams back is against the wall he will put on the boxing gloves. He felt that way against Milton after the first 2 preseason games, and we seen what he did in the 3rd game (had some not so good plays, but he was letting that arm go to battle back into the game).

I am betting the cowboys wanted to see how Sam would perform under pressure, and they got their answer, not to mention he has shown that in real game action on other teams.

When it comes down to it, I want a QB that isnt afraid to put the ball in the air. Milton isnt safe, nor is he a chance taker.

Don't worry, it was the right move.

What makes Joe the type to fold? You're in your Imagination

Give Milton the first team against any team, and I don't seem him folding.

 

[thunderpimp91]

Sam Howell is a very underrated player imo. I really think he could be a lower end starter in this league.

I agree. he brings starting experience and he is a legit backup.
Milton had very minimal upside at 26

It's Milton's inconsistency. You don't know who you're going to get from one moment to the next. Big plays are hard to come by, can't have a quarterback missing wide open receivers. Sam offers you the consistency you need to install a game plan.

 

[BobSacamano]

If Shotty was the only offensive mind on the coaching staff, I’d be inclined to have questions/doubts of the wisdom behind this decision.

But Klayton Adams doesn’t hold him in much regard either.

 

[HungryLion]

I’m fine with Howell as a backup.

It just doesn’t make much sense that they traded picks for Milton to develop. He shows development and improvement and then they cut him anyway.

It just doesn’t make a lot of sense.

But Howell being the #2 makes sense. I agree with that.

For one, Milton got away from his mechanics under pressure in a preseason game. I can only wonder how he would perform in an actual game were defenses are really trying to kick his teeth in.

Imagination? No. It's just you inside of the Milton fan club, thats all.

If it makes you feel any better, Sean McVay likes this player. But at 25 years old this is his 5th NFL team for a reason.

 

[Gonzomandela01]

Milton will throw a pick in the worst moment, we all can see that.

So Sam Howell didn't get rattled in the pocket? That's literally what he's known for is bailing the pocket and running like a chicken with hos head cut off.

And I'm not in a Milton fanclub. I just know he's better than Sam Henike

Sam Howell was a pick throwing machine. Do you care about that or no?

With the big arm he has, plus his athletic ability, why was he drafted in the 6th round and both Cowboys and Patriots passed on him? Sam may be slightly better. I'm not saying we should've kept Joe over Sam. But I'm sure there's something we're not hearing about. Players like them you have to work EXTRA hard to get better. Maybe like Blue and Kelvin Joseph, he wasn't putting in the extra work to get better.

 

[Gonzomandela01]

No, because he wasn't playing for the Cowboys.

 

[stilltheguru]

No, because he wasn't playing for the Cowboys.

Lol

 

[Tabascocat]

No, because he wasn't playing for the Cowboys.

He led the league in 2023

Yes Howell be a solid back up. It was just a shocker waivering Milton.

I also agree about the wasted pick for Milton, but I look at it as the coaching staff being in two different minset at both times.

The coaching staff and FO are taking this season seriously and are making tough choices and cuts, just like they did with Blue.

It's just a different vibe around dallas. I believe they feel they have to make the best decisions even if its a hard decision.

This is a move a team like Seattle would have made before their season last year. They were all about business.

There's only 2 reasons that people think Sam isn't a mental midget qb that is a Turnover magnet. One reason is they only watch Cowboy games. I won't get into the other reason due to site rules.
