usanyj Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Nice spot for Howell with a solid coach… I would’ve liked to take a chance on him. I think he has potential 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JoeNamathsFurCoat Posted March 14 Popular Post Share Posted March 14 smh All it took was a pick swap and a 5th rounder? Howell is a competitor, has a good arm, mobility, youth, and upside. Threw for nearly 4K yards in his 1st crack as a starter. Joe Douglas is an idiot. If AR were to go down, Howell gives you a much better chance to win than old, injury-prone Tyrod Taylor. Howell is also cheap on the books (1M salary), as opposed to Tyrod's overinflated deal, which gives you more freedom to go hunting for quality FA help right now. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's basically the equivalent of a development QB which I guess is fine, but at that point wouldn't you rather just draft some kid in the 4th or something? Rattler or Travis or Pratt? Relying on Howell to be our #2 is no different than relying on Zach. Two guys with potential who have done nothing but lose, get sacked, and turn the ball over. We're really sh*tting on JD for not bringing in this guy??? We were never going to go with an unproven backup. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I agree the ideal QB room would be : Rodgers Tyrod rookie but knowing JD it will be: rodgers tyrod Zach and I rather Howell over Zach in that situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way they can keep him on the roster. So yeah 100% I would have taken Howell in Zach's place, but in all likelihood Zach will be dealt for a bag of pucks(or just cut) and we'll either draft a kid late or just roll with 2 QBs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, I think that depends. Taylor is ridiculously anti-turnover. Howell throws a lot of ints. If you need a backup QB for a handul games.. I think Taylor is a safer choice for a team that should be feeding Hall to setup the pass. If you're expecting the starter to go down in 4 snaps and expecting the backup to play the rest of the season then yea, rolling the dice on Howell would be my preferred option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warfish Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I must admit, I am surprised this is how it's turned out for Howell. I really did think he would be the bridge starter here in DC till whomever the pick in this draft was ready, and would then transition to the backup role. I guess either the new DC regimes evaluation of Howell was much worse than I might have though, and/or they really didn't want ANY chance of a locker room divide between Howell and the new kid inbound if the new kid hit any problems in his rookie year. /shrug, I liked Howell, but the more I dug into his numbers and play, the less I liked what I was seeing as last year wore on. I'm certainly not pulling another "Patrick Ramsey" here, I'm not worries we didn't acquire him, not sure he would have been any kind of right fit for us short-term or long tbh.

Beerfish Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Howell is not good, he had a few games early but came thudding down to earth the 2nd part of the year when teams had tape. He will be a career backup at best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything it set up to take a young guy and have that guy start next year. I really would not be surprised by anything they do now. They could take mccarthy at 10, they could trade back, take a tackle and then trade back into round 1 and take nix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varjet Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Tyrod is $8mm more than Howell. That money could be used for LT and WR. JD must have big plans for this 3rd round draft pick. Could be worth $8mm if it hits, but he has not hit many like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
