Look at Rogers career look at Brady's career both sat and learned too start.

What I am saying is bring him in the last couple of drives to see how he handles in game and not just practice reps. Even if it is calling plays and handoffs with a pass on third down it helps provide insight and gives them an additional evaluation tool. Shouldn't that be part of development too?

this isn't high school football, the starters want their PT and you got keep your QB1 happy.

We don't have a Brady/ Rogers that you could sit and they be fine with it in a blow out. You sit anyone this year on our team at QB1 and you would rattle their confidence; its because every QB on our team was constantly looking over their shoulder and rightly fully so because none of the 3 were QB1 material in this season.

What confidence? Lol minus TH and his run this year there was no such thing. And i think TH is mentally tough enough and been through enough that he'd go out and play to the best of his ability, even as small as it is, and put that aside.

The confidence of being the starting QB.

IMO we are splitting hairs a few reps in a meaningless blow out was never going to speed the development of SH and to your point getting yanked for a few reps in a meaningless blow out was never going to rattle TH/CW.


Point is moot.

I think a lot of times folks like to think of scenarios to further shit on this coaching staff. Not that i think they are great but at some point we are just pissing on dead horses.

The only reason folks here have doubts on Howell is because he was drafted in the 5th round and his height. Well, guess what? He's going to prove all the doubters wrong, will win the starting job and be your QB of the future. Get used to it.

And I think going forward with Howell is best for everyone. I don't want the current team administration to mortgage the future in trading for a QB, when they could be potentially out in 2024. You can use the offseason to get Howell to be the #1 guy and just fix the o-line.

Yep, as simple as that. The team has weapons all around that have not been exploited. if anything and I hate to say this, trade Samuel if you can get a 3rd rounder and put Brown as his replacement who is very familiar with Howell.

I think a lot of fans are underestimating Snyder's meddling of the team, and how much that has shit on the coaching staff (past and present). Let's take a look at the QBs Snyder has forced the team to get:

Wentz
Haskins
Alex Smith (love the guy, but still)
RG3

That's several years of wasted picks, money, development, effort, etc., etc. Not to justify or be an apologist for the current coaching staff, but I think people tend to forget that our horrible owner still meddles with football matters.

It was about evaluating him not developing him. It was one more tool they could have used that is all. If the coaching staff was worried about the confidence of our backup QB not being able to fulfill his duties because Sam Howell got a few reps I don't know what to say about that.
