DJHJR86 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 My understanding is that Rivera told Heinicke he would start but they were going to sprinkle in Howell, so Heinicke just told Rivera that Howell deserves to start the full game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillBill26 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Pumped for Howell to get the start. I'm expecting a mixed bag. Some good moments, and then others where he looks like a rookie, as to be expected. I just hope it's not a disaster where Ron and company convince themselves they have to chase a carr or Jimmy G and pour more resources into the QB position. Not saying this one game should serve as a barometer whether Howell is the man or not, I'm just afraid of what Rivera might do if it gets ugly. I'm hoping for a QB room of howell, heinecke on a cheap one or two year deal, and a mid-rounder such as haener, duggan, or a howell type prospect that falls in the draft. Let's devote cap dollars to offensive line and let Howell have an off-season of first team reps and see how it plays out. And if howell does better than expected, what a great way to go into the offseason. With hope for the QB position, hopefully a new owner! And a revamped oline. Next summer will be the most positive training camp and outlook for the upcoming season that I can remember. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hail2skins Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Heinicke is surely gonna test the market in the spring, right? I don't know about the hope that he stays here as a backup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not. A tiny bonus for 1 game, or a larger contract as a quality backup QB? He's trying to show the FO (and other teams) that he can be the most supportive backup QB out there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderInTheRye Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) It's become a win win decision thanks to Heinicke sticking up for Howell. If we lose we could go as high as the 10th pick in the draft and the kid gets some much needed experience. If we beat Dallas, in a game that's far more meaningful to them than us, we just may have found our starter for next year's lame duck season.

Not to take ANYTHING away from this selflessness, it also allows him to avoid injury that would prevent ANY contract next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drowland Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Howell will be the 65th different NFL starting QB this season, a new record in a non-strike year. I'm excited to watch this historic event on Sunday. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t like Wentz coming back as we would be stuck with his 2023 contact if injured. That seemed an unnecessary risk to me. As it happens, he also played very bad and by all accounts looked bad in practice. Now one game for Howell. Hardly a sufficient sample size for next season.

Koolblue13 Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 Heinicke is such a great guy letting Howell play in front of the defense that Heini is terrified of, who he slobbered all over last year. What a pal. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what Handsome Howell looks like this Sunday, I'm not going to draw any conclusions from it. It'll be his first real NFL game action. If his QBR is 8.0 or 80, it'll be impossible to prognosticate any future success or failure based on such a small sample size.I just want him to look prepared, make good decisions, and stay healthy. Cowboys are fighting for the NFCE crown, so they're going to go all in. I fully expect us to get blown out, but I'll enjoy watching Sam get some experience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a pal. Heini: Hey Sam! Ya know, you deserve a chance to play since we're eliminated from the paloffs. How's about I let you get a little game action this Sunday? Sam: Oh gee golly Taylor! You're the best man! Thank you! Heini: I'm about to end this mfers entire career. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, Heinicke is due to make a 100k bonus each start or something, so the fact that he's sacrificing that makes him a good dude. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's $44k for being active and $125k for a win. So, the bench for $44k and not catch an ass kicking, while making himself look worse going into the offseason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its insulting that Ron only is playing him because even Taylor thought it was stupid to not give him a full game.

PolarExpress Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I will say this, the beginning of our season was disgusting. And then comes TH and makes our games watchable again…getting wins. I fully acknowledge that he is NOT a starting QB, but I think he’s a very good backup. He’s ready when his number is called. I will happily be a Hiver as he made the worst time of my life enjoyable, if only for a few hours. He loves the game and his team. I wish him the best and another chance as a backup. Damned if he didn’t earn it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
