RabidFan Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I'm happy with Howell but damn if that DTR guy we were told our FO was interested in drafting this year (even as a backup) looks impressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely looks like he’d have been a better pick than KJ Henry, given our dearth of QB3 options (and the general importance of forever refreshing the QB talent on the roster) and the way Andre Jones seems to be beating out Henry for a roster spot anyways.

KDawg Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I can't believe I'm going to say this... I hope SIP is sitting down: Even though I didn't like DTR... at all (still don't, really, but he's at least better than I thought he'd be)... He would have been an upgrade to QB3 for sure. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's early, but you might have a large portion of crow being served up soon. Kids got the right coach to succeed that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids got the right coach to succeed that's for sure. It's okay. The amount of crow owed back to me for several hits is more than worth it. No one has apologized for their bad takes on Buechele and he has clearly been a GOAT candidate QB3 since he entered the League. In all seriousness, I see the same issue with DTR now that I did on film. He still isn't good as a passer. But, at the same time, he looks just as good as Watson as a passer and about $200M cheaper. And he does have developmental upside. And to SIP's point to me on his like of DTR, his legs and movement ability were a big reason he liked him. And it looks like he was 100% correct that his legs would be a really key thing for him at the next level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJHJR86 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 This is a good sign. Despite some members of this fanbase insisting otherwise, Brissett is an average backup. 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brissett is a good QB and if we didn't have Howell, he's the FA I wanted to come start this year, but Howell is and has been QB1 for a while. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So outstanding that he's never been able to keep a team in the hunt when the starter was injured. There is a reason this is team #4 in 4 years. Howell losing the job to him would have been extremely disturbing. Glad he didn't though. Need him to stay healthy all year.

Professor_Nutter_Butter Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Super excited to see Howell get a real shot for the season as starter, but I wish he'd drop the goofy helmet and go back to the one he had last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballZombie Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 He didn't faceplant so Howell did what he needed to do. From a reasonable standpoint you don't expect him to go out there and get himself killed or be dramatically lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheShredder Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Last QB to play all season was Captain Kirk 2017...WSH leads NFL in a string of starting QBs with 12...Chances Jacoby starts in 2023 is like 125% Maybe fix the OL?

Hmmmmm, nah! Getting better QBs would help also. Off the top of my head: Alex Smith - Very unfortunate/unlucky injury. McCoy - Couldn’t stay healthy if he was behind the Hogs and isn’t good Butt Fumble - Very Bad Josh Johnson - isn’t good Case Keenum - isn’t good Dwayne Haskins (RIP) - wasn’t good Kyle Allen - wasn’t good REDACTED - Atrocious Fitzy - 16 snaps and hurt Garret Gilbert - COVID QB isn’t good Wentz - Isn’t good Sam Howell - Starting his first ballot HOF in earnest on September 10. Not good QBs tend to get hurt/benched at a higher rate than good QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted August 19, 2023 Author Share Posted August 19, 2023 How can you say that Josh Johnson isn't good? He's played on almost every team in the NFL (some twice!) and every league created in his lifetime. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a true and factual statement the combination of defensive talent, running the stuffing out of the ball and the ritual sacrifices REDACTED undoubtably made to the football gods allowed the team to win in spite of his deplorable play more often than his deplorable play cost them games. Oh, and before anybody posts the 4 good passes he threw in whatever it was, 10 games, last year, yes, he had a few good plays which weren't aided by luck. I will concede 1 good play a game all on his own. Deplorable. Despicable. Atrocious. Horrendous.
