Agreed, but he is the backup, not Howell.

How long till Riverboat Retard trades 2 first round picks for McCaffrey?

They absolutely have to play Howell. We are going to have a top 5 pick, and probably a top 3. The top pick is in play. We need to know what we have in Howell. We are going to wind up not knowing if we need to draft a quarterback with our first rounder and it makes no sense. Fire Ron immediately- he is a confused old man yelling at the clouds.

I disagree - I say let Howell sit this year, bring in a high first rounder next year and promote Howell to primary backup. We're gonna need him anyways for injury purposes.

Howell might have "it" but you aren't gonna find out if a rookie 5th round qb has "it" 5 games into his rookie season. That's a guy that is going to take multiple seasons to learn and develop. And we're wasting his rookie year on a lame duck head coach - best case scenario next year he has to learn another new system.

But….we might see enough in Howell over 12 games to know we do not need to spend a top 3 pick on a quarterback. It isn’t like we couldn’t use that pick on thevo line or secondary.

I just don’t see the point of letting Howell sit? What is he going to do lose? Guess what we do that with or without him. This season isn’t hanging in the balance. It is gone, done, finished as far as the post season is concerned.
Are we going to ruin his psyche? I mean if the plan is draft a quarterback high next year and make Howell a backup then we are sitting our future backup to protect him? That is a luxury most teams don’t worry about even if they can afford to. We can’t afford to. Nor should we worry about it. Best case scenario is play Howell, like what we see, and spend our top pick on protection or a shutdown corner. To know we have the guy, which is possible over 12 games, and spend those picks to solidify our team is the quickest way to fixing this. If we aren’t sure after 12 games then so be it - we take a top qb and see what happens. I do not think itbis crazy to say Howell can be better then TH or CW. I would honestly take serviceable and other pieces around him then what the hell we have now. Let him develop on the field while we build around him like so many other teams do. It would be a breath of fresh air win or lose to see a young quarterback develope with a plan in place to build around him. Keep TH as the backup. But protecting a guy you consider to be a backup is not an option.

Playing a rookie isn’t mishandling him HTTR, trading a young one away instead of paying him or playing him on a broken leg - that is mishandling him. Pats did it, bears did it, steelers are doing it. Lots of other more successful teams do it and have done it - unless Brady, or Rodgers, or Montana are at the helm. We don’t have that problem. Lol

Ideal situation:

- Howell is a keeper.
- Draft a LT to protect him for the next 5-10 years.
- Let Leno and Cosmi battle it out for RT. Loser starts at one of the G spots and/or becomes the swing tackle.
- Spend all other picks on OL, secondary, LB.

Yup. Only one way to find out without possibly wasting a pick. You dont plan around a future backup though. We dont have the time for such lunacy. Lol

PS how could i forget lb. Lb, secondary, oline - draft draft fa fa and draft and fa again for those areas. Pray im the meantime Howell is good enough to be thrown into the fire. SF I believe said he things the guy has that kind of moxie. We need to find out.
