I know that Howell has earned starter-level consideration wherever he plays in the league. To me, he is an NFL starter, unless something drastically happens that relegates him to being a BU. That said, I don't believe that his future is in Washington and the reset here will be centered around a whole new cast of characters. I am pretty sure that they will draft or make moves to draft a QB in the upcoming draft. Howell, likely will start and play during the 2024 season and then get traded in the same manner surrounding Alex Smith. Hopefully, the Commanders or whatever they'll be named by then are wise enough to find their "Washington" when they trade Howell.I guess time will tell but his first 9 starts are equal to Mahomes with less talent to work with . In fact if Howell were a 1st round pick this yr the narrative around him would be way different,
Now this I can say , he is a viable BU at the least and top 10-15 starting qb ceiling at best we more eval needed
by the way they usally start,that won,t be hard for bb

Slinging Sam has done nothing but show he is a starting nfl QBMan, I'm not ready to give up on Howell. But i have to respect whatever happens moving forward.
Agree and disagree.
He's also proven to be a tradeable asset.
Nope, I actually think that he's an NFL-caliber starter considering what others have starting on the 15 through 32 teams right now. I have actually seen enough of Howell. He has skills and is a tough SOB, and there's really very little that he can show me going forward that I haven't already seen. If we're honest, Howell is yet another hopeful experiment by Rivera, and losing his job at any point from now on ONLY means that Rivera is desperate to get wins via the veteran experience of Brissett that Howell is attempting to gain during this OJT phase of his NFL life.Sty, i'm guessing you don't consider it unfortunate Howell could possibly become a bench warmer before we really got a good look at him?
Not sure why the commanders would trade the first actual nfl starting calber qb they’ve had aside from that magical rookie season of rg3 since brad johnson, but I’m sure you have your reasons, Sty.
Yeah, there are several creative reasons why they would do this considering what we already know about their willingness to jettison players with an eye toward the future, especially those with pending financial concerns (I am currently working on a new thread that gives some insight into what we can reasonably expect from the new Commanders (pun intended) of this franchise.)Not sure why the commanders would trade the first actual nfl starting calber qb they’ve had aside from that magical rookie season of rg3 since brad johnson, but I’m sure you have your reasons, Sty.
Yes KC is and remains a "real starting QB!" That said the goal of the game is in winning the last game played every year! To that end, Washington and Minnesota didn't accomplish much or wouldn't have with or without him.So KC wasn’t a real starting QB?
why are we so hot to trade a guy ? we did that with KC and we still havent replaced him and he is what ? avg ?Agree and disagree.
