Paulsen has always seemed like a straight shooter. Can't see him saying this just to say it.

https://www.audacy.com/theteam980/sports/washington-commanders/why-commanders-shouldnt-start-sam-howell-against-cowboys Logan Paulsen doesn't think they are going to start Howell.

Jake Fromm vs. Sam Howell is the QB debate we need to keep this page going for another 1000 pages.

If it wasn't for Taylor, Ron would be on Taylor's sister's couch.

A career of doing the same thing as well as the first 6 weeks wasn't enough? This dude literally did the same exact thing last season.

Where is he defending him? Like at all? Rivera managed to shut out the noise for the most part and have his team focus on football instead of the constant drama caused by this dip**** of an owner. The results on the field have been mediocre, but the fact that he's managed to keep this team relatively relevant going into December every year under Snyder is what SIP is complimenting. He's not declaring him Vince Lombardi.

QB A: 181/266 68% Completion 1681 Yards 87.0 Passer Rating 10 Total TDs 8 Total Turnovers 5.98 AY/A 2-5 Record QB B: 172/276 62.3% Completion 1755 Yards 80.2 Passer Rating 11 Total TDS 10 Total Turnovers 5.69 AY/A 2-5 Record QB A is Matt Ryan over his last 7 starts. QB B is Carson Wentz over his last 7 starts. This is why I am a bit hesitant to bring in a quarterback like Derek Carr who has previously shown that he struggles in new systems.

The way this loser went out of his way to rush to social media to defend Wentz should have been a bigger red flag than it was at the time. He is such a mentally frail guy and it would surprise me if he's on a roster at the start of the season next year.

Who else is excited for the Sonny Jurgensen jersey retirement game in front of Dallas fans?

I think Rivera is going to announce Heinicke as the starter and Howell will be active as the backup and will eventually see some playing time. Not what I want, but I personally think he's going to go this route.

Malik Willis is awful. I can't see Tennessee letting Tannehill leave just yet.

Richardson has the biggest potential to be a massive bust.

Free agent quarterbacks I think could work out: -Tannehill -Minshew -Brady Free agent quarterbacks I'm leery about: -Carr -Garoppolo -Mayfield Free agent quarterbacks I do not want unless it's to be a backup: -Darnold -Bridgewater -Brissett -Smith And I hope they steer very clear of Anthony Richardson. I don't think they can draft a quarterback this year because all of the ones worth drafting are going to be gone. But he didn't have Brian Robinson! The defense wasn't playing as well as it was! Arm strength! Tall! Red hair!

Had no idea there were reports that players were not happy with the switch back to Wentz.

They are going to sign Jimmy G. and re-sign Taylor to be the backup. Jimmy breaks his foot in week 6, and Taylor comes in to win 4 or 5 games in a row again, and then start losing just in time for Jimmy G. to be healthy. QB controversy all over again. It's the Washington way.

I'm sure SIP can speak for himself, but he is not a Rivera sycophant at all. He's always fair in his posts, and I think he was essentially saying that Rivera was admitting that he's gotten the QB search wrong for 3 years now...or else he wouldn't have said that they are yet again searching for a QB1 in year 4. There are other posters on here who had an undying loyalty to Carson freakin' Wentz in 2022...which was weird.

Good thing that Rivera essentially ended any prospect of bringing back Wentz next year. But I can't fathom how they watched him all week and thought that was going to provide a spark. Chris Russell said that the portions of the practices last week that were open to the media, Wentz looked horrible and was inaccurate. Totally inexcusable to play him.

It's such a Dan Snyder move and I'm glad it failed spectacularly yesterday. He can't sell the team fast enough.

If Howell starts next Sunday, this will be the third season in a row under Rivera where there have been 3+ different quarterbacks making a start. 2020: Haskins Allen Smith Heinicke 2021: Fitzpatrick Heinicke Gilbert 2022: Wentz Heinicke Howell (?)

This...actually is a good point. Although I still think there is an argument to be made that you don't want to shellshock a young quarterback in a meaningless game, but there is no better test as to see whether or not he has what it takes against one of the best defenses in the league.

Stidham is familiar with McDaniel's offense. I want to see Howell. But he's on the roster next year regardless of what happens in a meaningless week 18 game against a very good defense. If Howell doesn't start, he should absolutely be the #2 and active and be ready to be inserted when the starter inevitably struggles, though.

Two years in a row. Thanks Carson!

Another one of Dan's quarterbacks going up in flames? Who could have predicted this?!?!?

Dallas is going to play their starters because they still have a shot at winning the division. It would be malpractice to play Howell in this scenario. If they think Howell's ceiling is a high level backup...what's the point in playing him in a meaningless game? If they think Howell might be the guy...what's the point in playing him against a Dallas team that is going to try and win the division?

He could've stuck with Heinicke for to at least see how he responded after being benched for Wentz. Every single measurable metric told you that this was going to happen today and people just ignored it.
