If he stinks, we'll probably end up picking top 5 in a stacked QB class with a new regime taking over. Except, it's been established that this team isn't terrible outside of the QB. It's not like they suck on both sides of the ball and have no weapons, etc. They're not bottom feeders enough to get to the top of the draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So as long as that issue gets addressed and we further improve the defense and maybe a kicker we should be at least competitive in 2023. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Howell had money on the other team and actively handed the ball off to opposing defenders instead of the RB, I don't see how he could possibly drag us down further than the QB play we had last year, certainly not to the point where we got a pick good enough to lock in a franchise QB in 2024. The worst case scenario of just having Howell and him bombing out was the same as last year. Mid-round selection. The surrounding roster will carry us to wins regardless of a potential mess at QB.

Llevron Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Brissett kind of messes up my 'win with Howell' or 'Tank with Howell' and no in-between hopes. But Ron has never been ok with that kind of thinking, so, I suppose this is a good thing. If nothing else they are making good moves and im always in favor of that. 2 minutes ago, FootballZombie said: I never got that mindset either.

It was less than a year ago I believe we started the season with a historically bad defense out of nowhere. Its never out of the question here. But ultimately you are probably right.

SoCalSkins Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Brissett is a very underrated baller. With our D and weapons the dude can easily take us to the playoffs. Howell needs to step up. I’m good with rolling with Brissett. Howell obviously has a bigger upside but the dude needs to go all in and it starts with eating a burger or steak. 😂 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsinparadise Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Brissett is the top veteran quarterback that I wanted and pushed him for months. So am jazzed. Though Fitz was my favorite veteran Fa to sign 2 years ago so that didn't end well. So hopefully i am not a jinx here.

Skinsinparadise Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Sheehan is going to insufferable this off season, I bet pushing Brissett as the starter. His thing is Howell is a total wildcard, no playoffs if he starts, on and on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Yup. Now half the fanbase is going to be pushing for Brissett. And even if Howell (when) wins the job they’ll say it’s Ron playing favorites or make up something. Going to be a long year. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet I don't see him as a starter here. to me from the context of Howell.. A. Provides insurance in case something goes awry ala injuries B. High character, classy player who won't whine about being on the bench c. Just good enough to push Howell in a competiton that I believe Howell wins Edited March 15, 2023 by Skinsinparadise 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSkins Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 If we had Brissett starting instead of Wentz last year we are in the playoffs. The dude balled for Cleveland. He’s sneaky good. I don’t care if it’s Howell or Beissett. Whoever gets us more Ws should start. The NFC is the weakest it has been in forever. You get to the playoffs and anything can happen. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickyJ Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I've been a fan of Brisset since he had to get a baptism by fire with the Colts. He's not awesome, but he quietly does his job like a good backup should. Fans can make it rough, but I doubt Brisset is going to take any Sundays off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny v Billy, Schroeder v Williams. Williams v Rypien. Rypien v Humphries v Conklin. Ferrotte v Shuler. Gannon, Trent green, Brad Johnson, Geoff George. Brunel v Ramsey v Colins v Campbell. All way worse! 😂 I was worried it was going to be boring this year. I’m not calling either a bust like I normally would. I really like Brissett and I could really like Howell but the whole chicken nugget eating at a steak house gives me pause. I’m team Brissett at the moment.

Captain Wiggles Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 It wouldn't be Washington football without a qb controversy. 🤣 I'm meh on signing Brissett. Probably a waste of $10 million like Fitztragic was. I guess we shall see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad back up spot starter. now draft another rookie. Why has he not signed before now? Blue light special. Hope Howell lights it up and becomes a home grown product that makes it, been too long. Glad its done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
