It is my strong feeling that Rivera is responsible for the fans who aren't convinced Howell WILL be the franchise QB(me included)
(i say fans because, i believe new ownership/coaching staff may lean toward getting their own qb)
I blame Rivera for not doing more in FA and the draft to strengthen the o-line, which in turn i believe would have reduced the number of mistakes
howell has made, essentially as a rookie QB. how Howell is able to execute despite poor protection and no imagination in the run game is impressive. top 5 passing despite being the most sacked qb. The QB situation for 2024 will be interesting. i'm also concerned about the play calling
I understand wanting your own QB…franchises and coaches do that all the time, even if it seldom works.
With SH, you can start with a guy who has proven he can play at the NFL level and play well. We can do what the Xhargers did when Brees went down. Draft your QB and trade your starter. Even if we draft our own guy, I would prefer to give SH another year to build that draft stock up before trading him. If we offer him up this c9ming offseason, I can see a first or second round pick. If we give him another year, I think we can get a couple of firsts and perhaps more.
