Koolblue13 Posted March 15, 2023 Author Share Posted March 15, 2023 Considering that 88 is basically our Costanza, everything he says the opposite always happens. Like always. It's amazing. That was the best endorsement for Howell that we could have hoped for. I'm now assuming he goes to the probowl. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am fully on board because I JUST found out that Shane Buechele is the son of Steve Buechele. And that name might not mean anything to you, but when you're 8 years old in the summer of '89 and ripping through packs of Upper Deck trying to find Ripkens and Griffeys and coming up with nothing but Steve Buecheles and Luis Polonias, you tend to remember a mother****er. Even at that age, I knew Steve Buechele had some ridiculous hair. So that's Shane Buechele's dad. He just might be the GOAT, dream maker you say he is. 3 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyst Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Besides the fact that nothing works out for us and he’d either suck here or get injured, I really would like the excitement Lamar would bring here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I MAY have hyperbolized his placement as NFL QB2 (only behind Howell) by about, oh, 30-40 players. But he's close to NFL QB2. Anyways... I really think he'd be a great fit for the role. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either Sam balls it and we find our franchise qb or he sucks eggs and we draft high enough to get that franchise qb in the 24 draft. Hope Howell delivers. I REALLY do.

Spent many hours in the shipyard. Howell will reign Supreme. I ran a high end stereo shop in Bremerton, and Silverdale later. Great area but B-town was a dump. 😛 Loved the Hood Canal loop and had a lot of customers from Bangor NSB ( the nuke sub guys were great), NUWES (I wanted to be an amateur contributor 😁) and PSNS. Great customers for the kind of gear I carried. Per topic😆, I have hopes for Howell that I think are merited but am so used to life as a fan of this team for six decades that I'm rarely "optimistic" 😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of time if that’s even what they want. I agree 100%. But there are rookies and then there are rookies playing for WSH. It's different, bro. 10 hours ago, KDawg said: How is pointing out that our QB situation was brittle with or without him living dangerously? Our QB depth scares nobody. It didn't last year, but right now we're a nasty hit on Howell from throwing in the season. And that's assuming he's good, which we don't know with absolute certainty.

We don't know anything about Howell yet, so we can't just assume that things won't be the same or worse. I'm skeptical that this will work out (I think being skeptical of anything the team does is at least reasonable, if not smart). If it doesn't work out, I want to be as close to the Top 5 in the 2024 draft as humanely possible. I want us to be right there to draft one of the top QB's in next year's draft. I want to get either Caleb Williams, or Drake Maye. I want a resolution either way. No more finishing 7-10 or 8-9, and not having enough capital to move up in the draft. If we're going to miss the playoffs this upcoming season (which is very likely), then I want the team to suck as bad as it can.

FootballZombie Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I would not be happy w/ either Rush or Minni-chew. Neither are good for much of anything. Give me a dude who is an actual threat to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this team starts to normal Ron form, you may get your chance as Ron unlikely finishes the season. If Ron finishes the season, then usual 7-8 wins. It’s 4pm, is Lamar waiting by his phone or is he dialing up teams? Edited March 15, 2023 by 88Comrade2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Strongest QB situation we've had in years? Certainly the one with the most upside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballZombie Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Looks like we got Jacoby. About what I figure we needed. An actual starter type. Can't walk out there with just Howell, badly needed a guy who could feasibly start, even if he takes the oppo away from Sam. I don't think its a slam dunk that Jacoby starts tho, and I don't see it as a lack of faith in Howell. No team in the NFL was just going to hand a starting job to a guy in his situation. He will have to earn it from an actual QB competition. Edited March 15, 2023 by FootballZombie 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 There's no real downside with Howell. If he's good, it means we're going to win 10+ games and make a run. If he stinks, we'll probably end up picking top 5 in a stacked QB class with a new regime taking over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Est.1974 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Well I wasn’t pushing for Brissett but it’s no time to complain. Potentially strong 1-2 at the QB spot now. Hopefully we draft someone on day 3, looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voice_of_Reason Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I think we just got a lot better in the QB room. My guess is they draft a guy in the mid to late rounds. One of my (amongst a LONG list) of reasons not to bring back TH was there is no way he could be a legitimate threat to start against Howell. Brissett can legitimately compete for the starting job. I like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I was early in stating Brissett was among my fave possibilities out of who was likely to be a real option, though I acknowledged the injury concerns. I'm good with the choice. So far I almost feel like we're dealing with a competent front office on and off the field, while still holding Ron as a mediocre guy as a HC in a number of ways. But with EB on board I'm in the camp that it means offensive weaknesses are going to be notably improved. Back up qb mattered to me and now I'm actually a little bit optimistic about next year. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
