Tuesday early AM - Franchise tag placed on Daron Payne

Tuesday morning - ESPN: Disputed $55M loan at center of probe into Commanders

Is it any wonder why the DC fan base has mostly left? I was sick of this shit 15 years ago…we still dealing with it

Now you can add this: Tuesday afternoon - Rivera backtracked and said Howell isn't our starter.

I don't have any problem with his statement:

“He’s not our starter. He’s coming in as QB1 and he’ll get a chance to be the starter.”

That's what he's said from the start.

I mean I think it's a fair take on every position on every team, but it's definitely a reasonable position for a 2nd year guy, with 1 start.

As a Howell sunshine pumper, I still never felt differently. I just don't want to trade away picks to try to upgrade. Sign a couple guys, draft a couple guys, or 1 of each, and let all 3 compete.

I think he's good enough, that you can bring in competition thru FA and the draft, without losing picks. And he will beat those guys out.

Basically, next year, I think Howell will be a top 20 NFL QB. That's an improvement over 2022, and he will only get better, with still 2 more rookie year costs after 2023.

I agree with this

This is a nothing-burger and it is just coach-speak.
