SlobberknockerSkinsFan Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 So now it’s being reported that he whose name I shall not mention is now broken (Right ring finger) and is traveling out here to LA to get it checked out. Who should be starting? please try and keep it classy. I don’t want this thread to turn into a a complete crap show, even though I know it will…🤷🏻♂️🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TChaler70 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) TH, give fans some excitement and see if team can turn it around and we can have a season. If it doesnt work play Sam and get out of the Carson experiment and save 2nd rounder. I just dont play for losses for a draft in April which is far from a sure thing. I want some enjoyment during the season with some positive Sundays beating rivals. Edited October 15, 2022 by TChaler70 3 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal opinion before that new guy came along, was that TH should have gotten a full offseason as #1 and roll with it. Of course I also said we’d do something idiotic like signing that guy after the season ended, so there’s that too… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zim489 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Howell and its not even close. Its a lost season. No point in playing Taylor you know what you have. Playing Howell gives you foresight into the need for the future. 18 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chump Bailey Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) Sam Howell. It makes zero sense to play TH over him at this point. Find out what we have in Sam, now, who I think could easily take this team by the reins and win or waste more time and capital next year playing TH. Sam Howell and a emerging Brian Robinson has the potential to be a true game-changer, even for this snakebit damn franchise.

skinsfan4128 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 We know what we have in TH. Truth is, we simply don't have enough (and more importantly, coaching competence) to salvage the season at this point. What we do need is to find out what we have in Howell. There's enough time this season to see if he can be the future or not. With a strong QB class coming out in the upcoming draft, we need to find out if we're grabbing one or if we can continue building the ranks.

NoCalMike Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 The offense is designed to get the ball down the field. Howell will make mistakes as a rookie, but at the end of the day Heinicke doesn't have the arm to move this offense beyond small chunks at a time. There is no mystery or intrigue with Heinicke anymore, we know what he brings to the table. I think getting Howell out there and seeing what they potentially have in him, (given the situation) also would help the organization be further along in the plan of what to do in the draft in the offseason. If they consider this season lost or nearly lost already (and not even due to the QB in the first place necessarily) then I don't see the point of going to Heinicke. Maybe you can give Heinicke the rest of October to see if the team can get to .500 by the end of October, but if not, get Howell in there. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderInTheRye Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) Gotta be Howell!!!!!!! I hate that Wentz got injured but crisis means opportunity for the bold. This is Slingin' Sam's Wally Pipp moment. Rivera needs to grow a pair and seize the damn day by starting the rookie. If they instead play it safe and go with Heineke this is what I predict we'll all be feeling like for the rest of the season.... Prophesying requires lots of spoiler space... .

Peregrine Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 If Wentz cant go, 100% Rivera will play TH unless Snyder has assured him hes the coach next season no matter what. Rivera truly believes its a great team and should be making the playoffs, hes not about to give it to the 5th round rookie, hes going to hope they can string a few wins together with the QB hes won some games with. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need the entire thing blown up and start anew in the worst way considering they have never done it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petey hodge Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 The backup should start in place of the starter…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 HineyHiney will be an upgrade over what Carson has been giving us and I expect the team to respond favorably to him. The Wentz experiment here, and likely league-wide, has reached its conclusion. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeTheBeal! Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) Also, the Howell 3rd down “imma stiff arm a couple linebackers” playing style is not sustainable at this level. He needs more clipboard time to get that coached out of him. If you elevate him to starter now, he’s not gonna make it to Thanksgiving.

CommanderInTheRye Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) Right now it looks like 6 weeks without Wentz. No wonder he's going to a specialist. Must have been a real bad fracture. I wonder if the Taylor as next man up comment is speculation based on him being second string or straight from Rivera's mouth.

NoVaSkins21 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 They're basically worse off than they were last year. Wentz, Snyder's hand-picked QB, is trash. Heinicke is what he is as a backup, and Howell is an unknown 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he gives 5 percent of the fanbase of 10000 of this fanbase will agree that he brings some excitement but most mediocre defense will be able to stuff him, he brings zero future hope potential and is only on the roster because some fans believe in him.

NickyJ Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 I want TayTay to start so people can finally see that the Mayor of Moxie isn't fit for office. (I forget who coined that, but you're the best.) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysBeRedskins2Me Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 So if Carson misses 6 weeks, we'll only lose a 3rd instead of a 2nd. Even without actually benching him, right? So that's kind of a cool thing that may come from this. 4 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
