If Philly loses tonight, it helps us on several levels. It might mean be our game with Dallas has importance to Dallas-I believe they are going to be at the same time as the Philly game. Also, our strength of schedule becomes weaker. As for Howell, lately it has been distressing, but he has good company with other quarterbacks who turned out decent or very good and turned it around in year 2. I guess he is also in good company with quarterbacks who turned out bad, also. I would love to trade back from the 2nd or 3rd pick and get a haul of draft picks. We could do this while remaining in the top 7, where there are 2 excellent wide receivers, an excellent tight end, and 2 excellent OTs so we would get a prime player.
