Re: Around the NFL Week 17
If we win tomorrow and the lions and hawks lose we are basically in. All 3 are possible too.
If we lose it’s a wrap and start Howell v Dallas Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nah nah nah. You wanna see what we got. The coaches already know what we got. Tape don't lie - if he isn't balling in practice I don't want to see him in a game. If he has no pocket presence in practice, if his footwork is sloppy and his throws are inaccurate and he has more turnovers than Heinicke I don't even want to see him active for a game. The grass isn't always greener. Just to add on - who is the most recent top 10 qb in the NFL today to be drafted in the 4th round or later? It's Kirk right? It took him 3 seasons, including half a season of mediocre play before it finally clicked and he started balling (I was at the You Like That game against TB too). Some of you guys are too impatient.

BUT if we're out of it already, say down a fair bit against Dallas by the half and lost to Cleveland, I'd say give him the 2nd half. Whether or not he's a potential #1, we have to see if he's a good #2 at least. If so, then it gives us more options next year. We can let TH go, release Wentz (and maybe re-sign on a better deal?) and/or look at the draft. If he has shown issues in practice, as you surmise, they'd not want to start him, but also would want to keep him around if he showed potential. If he's plain bad likely he wouldn't be on the roster at all by now. Without any game time, practice is only going to exhibit 60-70% of his potential, so we just don't know yet. If he has a chance at all, he has to have some meaningful game time, whether that's the end of this season or more exposure next preseason. Ideally, Wentz gets us into the playoffs and Howell is #2 for next year, being groomed to take over. |

Re: Around the NFL Week 17
If we lose but the Lions and/or the Seahawks and/or the packers lose, we can still get in. And if we lose and all other 3 lose, we still just need to win agains the Cowboys to get in.

Re: Around the NFL Week 17
Cowboys are playing for the division next week right up until the Eagles result is decided (or thereafter). Just has become must and is an extremely unlikely outcome all things considered.
