Howell had the most passing attempts of all the QBs last year and had the 4th most completed attempts. I think Howell's offensive coordinator (Eric Bieniemy) didn't do him any favors by having him throw the ball so much. Howell will be better set up for success with our playmakers on offensive and coaching staff. Howell could be our Brock Purdy. Both Howell and Purdy had similar passing stats their last year of college, except Purdy was drafted by a team loaded with great offensive talent, Howell drafted to a much less talented team and had a different offensive coordinator in each of his first two years in the NFL. Redskins locker room is said to love Howell, so natural team guy, which is huge for the QB position. Howell has a strong arm, goes through his progressions, and can extend plays with his legs.
I know JS said Howell is Geno's backup, but of course he is going to say that. JS and the coaching staff I'm sure will give Howell a lot of reps to prove himself and show to possibly be our starter in 2025.
