Around the NFL Week 17

I think it's ok to hope that Sam Howell turns out to be the guy here - eventually, but to think he is the best option at this point is wrong in my opinion. He obviously has all the physical talents/tools, but I don't think he's ready right now. If he was the best option right now for a team with a chance to get into the playoffs if they win their last two games, he would be playing.

Make him the backup, he’s had OTA’s, Camp and 15 games to learn the offense, he’s a smart kid. After Wentz flops or gets hurt, Rivera will need to rely on his backup. He’s taking a chance with Wentz thinking things will be different. why not Howell.

Because he's the third best option right now.

Rivera will find out the hard way, Clowney and Garrett will have a field day

Sorry I don't even trust the coaching staff to be smart enough to identify nor have the balls to validate that last statement.

This is where I am with Howell. If he was ready I think he would be playing. For as much shit as we fans give the coaches they know way more about football than we do.

This is more like ego and stubbornness,trying to prove his point of giving up 2 3rd rounders and $28/mil. He’s going down with the ship and not want to look like an idiot.
