I think that is probably going to prove to be true, and obviously that is the best case scenario for this team. I am just not willing to draw that conclusion after seeing him throw 19 passes and run 5 times, and the Coaching staff shouldn't be either.
I don't think we should sit still with Howell and just sign some random UDFA's or anything.
Add a solid vet and mid-round pick to the room. I think those 3 guys would be fine.
Starter = Howell
Back-up = Veteran
Developmental guy = Mid-round pick
My biggest takeaway from Howell's game is the moment wasn't too big for him and he didn't shit his pants. The moment never seemed too big for Haskins either so who knows. I still think you have to have QB at the top of the offseason wishlist.

I believe he can be a starter next yr but I agree with getting someone else too. Heinicke can stay as a 3rd

Haskins didn’t use his wheels like Howell. The best thing about Howell is he made quick decisions about when to run for the sticks or throw it. That is so key. I hope Taylor comes back. Would be great competition for Sam, and Taylor seems to embrace being a backup.

They cant bring Heinicke back because the minute the starter starts playing bad the fans will start chanting for Heinicke.

When i was watching Howell play; one thing really stuck out to me, he knew how to slide.
If fucking RG3 ever knew how/when to slide it would have saved him.
Remember even Bryce Harper tried to teach RG3 to slide?

With Turner out I doubt Heinicke returns.
One of TH's biggest assets was his knowledge of the ST offense, now that's gone.

Good perspective.
I came away thinking we have enough in Howell to where I think I'd avoid trading major assets to come up with a QB. We try to get who we can in FA or the draft, but if we don't come up with a homerun that doesn't mean we should trade three first round picks. Howell's promising enough that at least we don't have to do that.
