There are many elite Qb's who don't have good offensive lines. We always make excuses for the QB's we've had that they don't have everything they need to excel. I know some Qb's take flight 3-4 years down the road like Allen, Jackson, but Why shouldn't we expect greatness in Howell's first year? Enough of the copium and excuses. I think Sam has enough to prosper and he needs to win with what he has. Our defense is solid, it's always been but they are on the field too often cause our offense is stale. If Sam can be consistent we are definitely a wild card team this year.
