Due to his limitations you have to be able to run the ball well and play good defense. A new coach isn't going to suddenly magic away those build-in limitations. Coaches have all watched his film and they'll all know this by now. That's why there's almost zero chance he'll be brought in by another team as a starter. He's a backup, wherever he goes. And Jones is still a completely mediocre QB. He's not some crazy different player now. He runs more and they give him easier passes to make. Heinicke is not Yoda, he's Kit Fisto. Sure he has limitations, but he can be serviceable. Utilize his running ability and stop calling 7 step drops behind our piss poor offensive line would be a start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not going to be the case most of the time. As far as running, Heinicke doesn't utilize his own running ability. The coaches lamented publicly last season that he wasn't using his legs much, and there have been tons of RPOs we've seen this season where the easy and clear correct option was to run and he handed it off anyway. For whatever reason he currently seems super hesitant to use his legs, which was basically his biggest asset and which he now self-negates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was questioning your logic about Heinicke not running but after watching Howell, I agree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel.redskins Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I've seen all I need, we have a QB! Strong arm, quick release, quick decisions, mobility, accurate, it's all there. And this was against a top 10 defense. This was not a fluke. Arm strength is not a fluke, mobility is not fluke. It feels good! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatteredFanSyndrome Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 So I think it’s now clearly safe to say that Howell was more than capable of running the Heinicke offense all along. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshile Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Little disappointing we didn’t see him earlier… but I guess it is what it is. im comfortable going into next season with Howell and some 3rd/4th/5th round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo#44 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 The most important thing I saw from Howell was poise and confidence. He never seemed rattled, never got happy feet. I was very impressed. I'd love to hear more from those with a more attuned eye to the fundamentals. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zCommander Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) In the offseason I wanted a rookie QB in 23. I am happy that it might be Howell. Edited January 9, 2023 by zCommander 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna wait lol...I remember how we all felt after seeing Wentz against the Jags.

I liked seeing the different arm angles when he needed to get the ball down the field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just meant that it’s obvious he can clearly operate a run heavy offense behind a stout D, ie: the Heinicke offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I’d be ok with us starting Howell next year and treating him like a first round rookie. Throw it 35+ times a game and know that there’s going to be some bad weeks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
