Maybe not on here, well there are a few, but every talking head out there is a doubter.

Me and SF been co Presidents of his fan club since the draft though. There is still nobody in the world who can explain why he went from a sure fire first rounder to the fifth round. All i hear is well his numbers dropped off. Not by that much, and the offense around him was completely poached in the draft going into his final year. There is absolutely no reason he should have gone in the fifth round but im glad he did.

I'm in agreement w/ all of this. I felt that Sam should have played earlier last year and Ron should have never signed Wentz. We would have been fine w/ Heinicke, Sam and another vet.

But this is basically his first year playing. He is going to have some rough patches.

Wish I had half the confidence in our o line as I do in Howell.

The best unit on this team isn’t the D Line, but the secondary

That’s possible if they get takeaways and if CY flames out.

I'm totally convinced that Sam Howell has what it takes to lead this team. At the very least, we're going to be a tough out this season.

Apparently, Andre Jones has been a nice surprise lately.

Re: 2023 Commies training camp thread

Love what I'm hearing out of the two joint practices with the Ravens, especially how both lines did well. I know when the team has had joint practices with better teams (i.e. the Pats), it was woefully noticeable how our team was underprepared. I hope this translates to the preseason game on Monday, but it was glad to hear what Keim and JP had to say about the team's performance during the practices.

Re: 2023 Commies training camp thread

Not Badgley, he hasn't got the leg for it, can barely make a 50 yarder and cant even hit touchbacks consistently. Because of that I dont think it was a real competition, would rather they had brought in a younger guy with a stronger leg to genuinely push Slye

Was 33/33 for extra points and 2 of 3 from 50 plus on fg’s. Also a better overall percentage on fg’s than Slye.
He missed four games or he would have been way above Slye in kicker rankings. I can’t take another season of praying for extra points.

Re: 2023 Commies training camp thread

Howell has been officially named as QB1 - shocker..

I'm a fan of Howell and I even wanted this team to draft Howell in the 1st round (good thing I'm not a GM), but I'm with skinsfan - we need to see how Howell plays throughout the season before we can say he is legit QB.

Ben Standig on Twitter

The Commanders are releasing K Michael Badgley, source confirms.

Joey Slye last kicker standing.

Joey Slye and Troy Apke are cockroaches. You just can't get rid of them.
