Cearbhall Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I have put down almost all hope for Dobbs and Mullens being worthwhile backup QBs. If the team can't find a better backup than them, I would rather see a young question mark given an opportunity. I haven't put down all hope in Hall, but the team needs to have another QB behind the starter next year. I would rather that other QB be someone with potential to develop than another guy like Mullens or Dobbs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this, but I'm thinking the team goes with Mullens, seeing that he's more efficient in moving the ball. I'm not defending him. I just think the team will go with him for Week 18.

Sir Fobos Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Frankly, the OL needs to block a hell of a lot better. Mullens doesn't look so bad when he has time to throw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OL was awful on Sunday. And I'd disagree with @marshpit23, Mullens doesn't have a noodle for an arm. It's not Favre's arm, but it's decent, as long as the pass isn't over 20 yds, as it then begins to flutter. If he can stick to the short and intermediate routes, he'd be fine as a backup option. He's willing to take chances, which can be maddening, but also can be productive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He thinks his arm is better than it really is. He takes more chances than he should. Of every QB on the roster, Mullens needs the most conservative game plan to win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he needs the "most" conservative game-plan...but he needs to learn to rein it in. If anyone needs a more conservative gameplan, it's Dobbs because he doesn't have the arm that either Mullens or Hall have. Hall needs to shorten his release a little, but that may come with work.

Remember that movie "Rookie of the Year" about the 12 year old that had arm surgery and it allowed him to throw a baseball 100 mph? I'm willing to break Dobbs' arm, if he wants to give it a go.

viking Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 With a new GM in Washington and a pretty good chance that they go QB with the number 2 pick in the draft I wonder what the price tag on Sam Howell could be... If we could pick Howell up for a mid round pick he'd be a really solid backup and potential developmental QB. It wouldn't be my preferred move but I wouldn't be mad going into the next season with Cousins QB1, Howell QB2 and Hall QB3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a better athlete and has a more powerful arm, but I want a guy who makes better decisions and plays within his limitations. I am not sure Howell would be worth the effort.

He's young though and with experience, may learn to reign it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Steve Young I can't name a wild, undisciplined QB, who learned to reign it in. I just don't think it's coaching. He is who is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) Kwesi and O’Connell scouted, and passed on Howell in the 2022 draft. I don’t think Howell has done anything to make them rethink their decision enough to send a draft pick for a guy who’s already halfway through his rookie deal.
