How long can Taylor Heinicke hold off Sam Howell for the starting QB job while Carson Wentz is out? HTTC
and it must be taken with a grain of salt, Howell was excellent in the significant amount of time that he saw in three outings. In an NFL exhibition debut that saw him provide a jolt of energy into the Commanders’ offense during the second half of their loss to the Carolina Panthers, Howell’s first impression was as good as it could possibly have been.
Look, I get it, his success during three games came against opposing teams’ second and third-string defenders, but it’s the NFL and everyone is getting paid to suit up. No, he wasn’t throwing against Jaycee Horn against Carolina or lofting nine balls down the boundary against Marlon Humphrey, Marcus Peters, and Marcus Williams in Baltimore, but you produce against the 11 in front of you, and Howell did that—and then some.
While the Commanders’ starter could very easily be Heinicke for six weeks—and he’ll surely provide his moments of heroism—if things begin to fall off the rails even more, don’t be shocked to see Howell get time. It’s Heinicke’s ball club to lead back to relevancy as we approach Week 7, but objects in the rearview mirror in the form of Howell are closer than they appear for Washington’s newly-minted starter.
