Commanders 2023 Free Agency Thread

Hell, howell could blow it, but at least he got his shot. Rather go down swinging with him than watch brisset this year. Maybe he proves me wrong and the ones not in this line of thinking please feel free to line up with all the I told ya so's in the book. That's totally fine.

The guy just doesn't have what it takes to win games. I can't sit here with watching him all of last year and say much of anything positive besides hey his arm is stronger than TH.

The list ends there.

I have zero problem with the Brissett signing. I am not sure who everyone (who is complaining) thought we were going to get. He was definitely the best backup / 'bring in a veteran for competition' type quarterback who wasn't going to cost the farm.

This is good, and EB is making this decision, not RR. Which means he likely fits the offense EB plans to run here.

Nothing wrong with competition. If Howell can't win the job, he was never the guy anyway. I'd rather find that out before the games count, and have a capable guy like Brissett on the roster to put out there if that's the case.

If Howell wins the competition, hopefully we're on to something.

We sure about that? I mean that's logical but I don't put anything past this organization and staff.

I don't know that I have any faith in whom they think wins competitions either. Man, severely scarred I guess 🤷

Well one thing to point (if reports are accurate) out is that apparently Heinicke was the 1st choice but he signed elsewhere.
