I remember another young, tough qurterback who came in with all sorts of flashy arm talent who had a real rough rookie year with not enough pieces around him - took sacks, got hurried, threw picks, choked under pressure, overrated, bust went the narrative.
In future yars he proved to be anything but - won a Super Bowl and now runs the team he played for.
Not that Howell would be another Elway, but some shared characteristics are there. Enough, for me after reading the article, to wonder what could have been if...
