Yes, he had a bad game. But it wasn’t just him. EVERYONE had a bad game for reasons that have been talked to death in the last 24 hours. But I still think he’s our guy, and that we can be competitive within the next two seasons if we build a team around him. The O-line, the coaching, and the secondary are our biggest weaknesses right now.
Let’s put Howell in perspective. He realistically can’t take a 5 step drop back without almost a certain sack. This limits him to half the passing tools other QBs get to enjoy. He also has a limited run support game and is surrounded by players who drop passes or fumble with the simplest tackle. He’s doing fine. Build the line…fix the defense
