We just don't know what happens now that his mentor RR is out. Practically every QB selected in the NFL has a life-debt to his first head-coach, the one who hand-picked him to lead the franchise. It would be absolutely normal for Sam to be attached to RR. He can demand a trade and would have the upper hand. But maybe the new FO is actually run by big boys and lets him go to a team with a better profesional outlook, no strings attached (just the usual trade comp). I mean, now EVERYONE knows we're gonna take a QB. I can't see how this is a win for Howell.
-
I'm sure he does. But this process has been in every fan's mind since the new ownneship was formalized. If the FO is going this way then we, as fans, need to start viewing next season as a complete rebuild. A trully momentous period that will bring sustancial change here. That's gonna take time and could get really ugly.
-
This is true, man. More paradoxical is the fact that he racked up about 40 sacks at midseason when he was playing good to very good (we gave up 65 all season) But at the midpoint of the season something happened and even though the sacks were reduced considerably, his play suffered quite a bit. Some say other teams figured him out. Others say he needs more time to find those chunky deep routes, thus more sacks. Another group just blames EB for the disaster. I think it's a bit of everything and now Howell is Ramseyed.

Well, the last game of the season saw us give up four sacks to a very good Dallas D. That makes it 65 in the season, four more than the previous historical worst '98 Oline. I know we need to take a QB in this year's draft. That's undeniable. But after that the O-line should be top priority.

Just go Ron, just go You won the most important battle of your life when you defeated the big "C". Now it's time to let go of this franchise. Thanks for everything and have a nice second life. -
That would be great, man. But this is WSH. The reality is that if the new shiny QB starts to struggle a large group of fans will start asking demanding vocally for Howell. I think the new regime will try to start fresh in all aspects of the team and includes drafting a top QB as well as lesser known guy like Shanny did. That way these new guys are 100% loyal to the new coach and new FO. Howell would be wise to change teams. He's more than competent, very young, and tough. A lot of teams are looking for that kind of back-up QB. Not our team though, for the reasons explained above.
-
Howell won't come back. He's to young to be dragged into a heavy politics situation with a new owner that will almost certainly draft a young stud QB. This season has shown that drafting a franchise lineman won't necessarily help the team as a whole. The problems are too deep. I was adamant about getting a top LT, but it makes little sense. For a new owner and GM the orthodox thing to do is start fresh from zero. And that includes a new QB. That means byebye Howell.
-
i can't remember exactly where I read it but an analyst demonstrated that if your teams suffers a pick-6 your chances of winning a game fall by 60% or there abouts. It's such a devastating play. Not coincidentally, thats when CHI turned their season around with some serious passing by Fields.
-
Worst defense with most players selected in the first-round. Pretty sure you can add that. And the absolutely maddening stat of Sweat being the sack leader on two different teams after being traded. Now that's insane.
-
Points and yards gained by the opposing team per game are the best indicators of a teams defensive quality. We are at 480 points allowed, which is historically bad. But we have allowed opposing teams 396.4 yards on average per game, according to ESPN. That's still far from the worst teams in this category, as you see below.

It's just weird bro, really strange. Not much to do now expect hope for a complete house-clean. -

More like mentally. If was passing like a madman while getting hit what the hell changed in the second half of the season when sacks decreased. Like drastically. I mean, if logic serves us well his numbers would have become even more impressive. But he regressed drastically. -
Well, after the SF game we have allowed a grand total of 61 sacks. Our all-time worst tied with the historically bad '98 O-line. If our QB gets sacked one more time against Dallas this will officially be our worst O-line ever. But since this season is longer than the pathetic '98 season I'll just call it a tie now. https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/redskins-most-sacks-allowed-in-a-season

Ok, but how did he make it through the first of half of the season when we were giving up sacks like M&Ms? In their defense Ravens are prob the best team in the League right now. Unlike us, they bounced back. We practically NEVER bounce back after a sucky game LOL -

Best part of the game was watching Purdy and SFs running game (180 yards). I saw nothing that makes me feel good about being a WSH fan. BRob was good in his very limited role but that's it. We are not a good team. Oh, and the Oline only allowed one sack, but Howell has looked worse even as the same line has allowed less sacks. That ocurred more or less at midseason. Something changed drastically: a lot less sacks but Howell has looked worse each game since.
