I think we definitely want to apply pressure to Howell, which is why my #1 course of action would be to bring in a Veteran FA QB.

Cooper Rush has been in the league for 5 years, but he doesn't have many more starts than Howell at this point. I'm not counting anyone out - as far as coming in and competing and pushing Howell, but I don't think Cooper would be near the top of my list. Surely not above guys like Brissett, Dalton, Bridgewater, Mayfield...

If you bring in Carr, L Jackson, Garappolo, G SMith...then you aren't pushing Howell. He would then be your backup. I hope they don't do this, but I'm assuming all options are on the table.

Yeah, I hit the dank for the first time in a couple months last night. That wasn’t a good suggestion.

Please no bridgwater, but I like your other suggestions

Those weren't really suggestions. I was just saying that Cooper would be even lower on my list than those guys. The fact is though, if they want someone who will really push Howell and/or be a competent backup - someone who can come in in a pinch and get you a W, then they will have to pay for that guy.

Hell, Heinicke's market value according to Spotrac is $19.8M annual average salary. Dalton and Brissett are in the $6-7M range.
