Howell is still on a cheap rookie deal through next season. The Hawks definitely need to *draft* someone to try to develop, but there's no reason to get rid of Howell until you have better options at backup.

He's Brett Favre without the talent but the turnovers

He just doesn't look good throwing the ball.

I hope the Geno can take us all the way talk ends too. NEITHER are the answer. The cowardly GM needs to draft a QB.
Need an Oline first. Probably a handful of QBs who can operate behind this line, Geno is one of them. I don't think any QB can succeed against a good defense with this line. Eventually the pressure and hits will get to anyone. Geno has been playing great all things considered.

How? 9-8 will never get us a QB. Will take years of drafting shit to maybe get lucky again. But he ain’t getting lucky again.

Our QB is irrelevant for the next couple years. We need to focus on OL and pass rush with every pick.

Take advantage of the time Geno has left. We’ll want to keep an eye on QB talent but until we fix the trenches it’s not going to make a huge difference.

Guys like Cameron Ward won’t be there when we pick anyhow.

I look back on games where the opponent's backup came in and looked like a superstar, and the response is that "we didn't have any film on him and he surprised us". And then that backup comes back to earth in their next game.

Our backups never seem to do that.

That being said, depending on how severe Geno's injury is, let's give Howell a week of practice with starter reps before we make a snap judgement and throw him under the bus.

Honestly, We need to start looking for a future QB for this team because Howell is obviously not it and Sadly Geno hasn't proven to be it either....

This. I wasn't able to see him play, but give him a week working with the 1's in practice and we can evaluate more properly during next week's game.

I'm not saying Howell is the second coming but give him a freaking chance to perform as an actual starter instead of being thrust into the end of the game with no preparation...He's pretty much all we got for now unless they throw Hall to the wolves

Maybe it ends the talk that Schneider is this QB savant because one of the two QB picks he has made in 14 drafts hit 12 years ago.
Because of that 3rd round pick in 2012, the need to pick a QB went away for a decade.
