After getting traded to the Seattle Seahawks earlier this month, former Washington Commanders starting quarterback Sam Howell is well aware that he will not be the starting quarterback over Geno Smith. But he still thinks he has what it takes to be a starting quarterback in the NFL in the future.
Sam Howell threw a league-high 17 interceptions during his first season as a starter in the NFL last year. But he thinks that if he can play smarter, he can still be a starting quarterback in the league.
“Obviously the interceptions, I’ve just got to do a better job,” Howell said according to Seattle Sports. “There were some times where we were down in some games and I was just trying to be a little aggressive and at times maybe just tried to do a little too much, trying to give us a chance. But I’ve got to be smarter, got to play smarter football, got to play winning football. And at times I was doing it, so just doing it at a more consistent rate. And I feel confident about my ability to do that. It’s just a matter of if I get an opportunity I’ve got to go out there and show it.”
Howell obviously won’t get that chance to be the full-time starter this year, but we’ll have to see if he gets another chance in the future.
