Non-Washington fan view on Sam Howell (alien.top)

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 got good arm talent and I can definitely see a world where he is a top 10 qb for a long stretch. I think his ceiling will be capped by his sack rate though. Historically, sacks (which are a QB stat) usually stay pretty consistent over time. And even if Howell is an ironman in terms of injury proneness, his sack rate will still kill off a bunch of drives every single game. I'd guess his career will be somewhere between David Carr and Drew Bledsoe
