Nah. We just recognize that he has more potential than Dalton or Pickett. Do I think he could come in and potentially push Bryce. Sure. Not because he's a QB god but because Bryce really is that bad as a starting QB. 

Not sure what you mean by potential. Dalton was once a top 10 QB who is washed. So sure, no potential I guess. Howell is on his 5th team ln 4 years. That's a lot of looks.  We'll have to agree to disagree on what his prospects are.

Now do Pickett

Why? Feel free to check my post history. I've never argued Pickett was a hidden gem.  I assume he sucks, but is some degree better than today's Dalton.

We interviewed Robertson out of Baylor.  Hope we draft him late and he earns backup.

There is one QB on the Sam Darnold track though, if there is one: Justin Fields. Top 10(ish) pick drafted to a bad situation, 3 years on the team that drafted them then traded to another bad situation, spend 2 more seasons in bad qb situations, then goes to a team with a QB guru coach and WB friendly offense to be a backup. The equivalent of Darnold’s Minnesota season would be next season for Fields. We’ll see.

The main thing Field’s has impressed me with is his attitude after leading Pittsburgh to a winning record and being sat down because Wilson was healthy. He handled it like a man. A pro. I wasn’t sure he would. 
 

I don’t know about his actual quarterbacking potential having any real chance to parallel Darnold’s progress.

Dalton is ancient by NFL standards. Howell is only 25.  Howell's only year as a starter he put up almost 4k yards, 21/21 with a 43.2 QBR while being sacked 65 times. 

This past year and the 3rd starting, which many would consider to be Bryce's best, he barely put up 3k yards 23/11 with a QBR of 47.6 while being sacked 27 times. 

Pickett 4 years in the league, with 27 starts, he's amassed 4900 yards, 16/16 with a 53.6 QBR. 

Now if Bryce were injured for a season, which QB would you say has more potential to step in and run an offense? I'd say Howell only because in a single season he threw for 1k yards less, more tds and granted more ints in 11 less games as a starter than Pickett's whole career. 

Everyone is saying Pickett sucks, Howell sucks, but what I'm seeing is Bryce is right on par with them. Howell is on his 5th team, so is KP, yet Bryce just got a 5th year extension putting up pretty much similar numbers. The bar for QB on this organization is really low. 

Did I want Howell? I didn't care. I wanted someone, anyone, who can potentially be better than what we've had the past 3 years or who we signed as a backup. We do not have even a mid tier NFL QB on the roster right now. 

If Howell was brought in as camp fodder and didn't make the cut, wouldn't hurt my feelings at all. If we bring in another QB via the draft, I hope it's someone who could have the potential to be a starting QB with some development because that's the whole point. 

We can't be afraid to bring in anyone who might have the potential to unseat Bryce or take his job if he's injured. The goal is to get winning seasons and make SB runs with hopefully a victory or 2. Pickett doesn't accomplish that. Dalton hasn't been able to even be in consideration for that role in over 2 years.

I liked Andy, but he is beyond washed. Hope he can get a ring as the Eagles clipboard holder.

Ummm if he wants 3rd place he can join the eagles. 

If he wanted a ring he should've stayed here.....

But not like he can control his trade

Howell is worse.  Far worse.  He is a turnover looking for a place to happen.  Basically a less talented version of Jameis Winston.
