Howell is better than Heinicke. Whoever is better should be No. 2 imo.

Re: Skins v ravens GDT 7 pm Saturday
 

He may have a better skill set, but that doesn't mean he is ready for any team's starting defense.

If they name him #2, I'll be on board and trust that the Coaches know what they are doing. If they name him #3 - same.

Yeah, this isn't a big deal either way IMO. I think it's a toss-up between the 2, I just think Howell would be better. But either one would be a significant drop-off from a healthy Wentz. So hopefully Wentz can play all 17.

We've seen the preseason heroes come and go especially at QB. I like Howell but we need to slow down a bit. Heinicke brings value as a backup and he's a great guy to have in the QB room.

I think we need to keep all 3 on the active roster (I think Sunny said the same earlier, so I agree w/ his point).

I don't think Howell or Heinicke would make it through waivers to get back to P.S. (not even sure if Henicke is eligible for P.S. either).

I really don't get the urge, after some nice plays against and with people that will at best be on practice squad in a few hours, to name Howell #2 [I]since we have an established starter. [/I]
Develop the kid as far as you can from the crazy buzz greedy [I]media's spotlights[/I], and either promote him #2 when he's [I]clearly earned it[/I], or once you've[I] traded Heinicke[/I] if you feel like you can afford to (in which case leaving Heinicke as your #2 increases his value, but i don't think that's a realistic idea [I]right now[/I]).

If Wentz gets injured, I'll trust the coaching staff to know who gives the team a better chance, and if Taylor starts but plays really bad then you could still name Howell the starter with less pressure.

Anyway [I]we're not cutting any of them[/I], so what's the big deal?

Re: Skins v ravens GDT 7 pm Saturday
 

howell definitely still has things to work on, but he did show very good signs. TH has shown well under pressure though and I think spending a year learning wouldn't be the worst for howell.

This.

Some people here act like it would be a terrible thing for Howell to redshirt this year lol. Let him sit and learn for a year, it's not gonna hurt his development.

I think you mean cut. Nobody is going to trade for TH.

yeah seriously, i read that yesterday and was like no one in the NFL is trading anything for TH. If not for this dumpster of a fire franchise TH be selling home insurance not playing house as a NFL QB.

[QUOTE=irish;1320614]I think you mean cut. Nobody is going to trade for TH.[/QUOTE]To my defense there was indeed some alcohol in my blood at the time of that message. But isn't a swap of players and/or late round picks a realistic option for a back up QB ?

I don't think it's crazy to think we could get compensation for TH if there was a team in a pinch at the QB position.

Exactly!. Only in Washington.

My thinking too. Even a team with a solid starter but no decent back up could be willing to give away at least a 7th, or swap 5th and 6th, wouldn't it?

Let's not forget Geno Smith and David Mills are NFL starters ^^
