FEATURED *** Practice Squad Players ***

Not saying that. But a QB can only do so much when the entire team around them is bad. The Chiefs were 6-8 in games Patrick Mahomes started last year. Shouldn't he have elevated the roster? Or was he handcuffed by a bad team?

This isn't rocket science. Look at Matthew Stafford, Detroit Lion. How many games did he win back then? Because Matthew Stafford, LA Ram, has a Super Bowl ring.

Like I said Howell = Rush = FG’s with the long distance kicker . You agree with him as # 2 I don’t it’s not “ rocket science “ .

Good thing you weren't here for Aikman's rookie year.

Yeah you're right and I'm done arguing this. Presenting facts and common sense to some people in this forum is like screaming at the sky asking the moon to change color sometimes.

I think Howell has more upside than Rush tbh….Rush was very very mid, we had a lot of good play around him and on D which led to the wins he had, I think Howell might have a little more talent throwing the ball. Hopefully we don’t need him in the season.

As a first time starter on a really bad Commanders team, he threw for almost 4000 yds, had 21 TD passes despite getting sacked 65 times. By the way, ran for 5 TDs as well.

I get it. You don't like him. Every other team has 2 franchise QBs as backups and Dallas has to settle for Howell. But he probably is in the top half of backups.

While Milton is in top half of sucking.

Aikman had elite physical tools. Howell is a guy who was a free agent and signed for 2 million dollars because he has no tools.

He is here to be a backup. Hopes are he never has to play. But judging a QB based solely on his record on a bad team is pretty short sighted and unrealistic. There are barely enough quality QBs to go around as starters. The angst over a backup is crazy.

I am surprised we let him go. He did clearly make some improvement in his game and the coaches commented on it during camp. They were pretty surprised that he was hanging neck and neck with Howell, but as well as Milton played in the first two preseason games there were also reports that Howell looked better in practices. And now there are stories that Milton asked for his release when he wasn't named the #2. If that is true then he definitely isn't coming back to our PS.

You left out the interceptions but mentioned the TD’s . Let’s show some balance I understand your in favor with the move

Int's are going to happen to a young QB on a bad team. They almost always are going to be pressing because they are losing. I don't think you would be asking either guy to win games....more that they don't lose games. Howell fits that bill better by all accounts. I would have been fine either way. I can see the benefits of either guy. It isn't like there are a bunch of better backups available out there. Levis was a high pick. No one seems too excited about him.

We probably tend to over value our own, but glad to see a lot of these guys still with the team.

That’s pretty good. Combined with the 43, it sounds like we got what we wanted.

Missed in Keegan and Woods, but I doubt many teams had everything go perfectly to plan.

On to the opener and we can finally see if what has been built can win some games

I don't think work ethic has ever been mentioned as a problem for Steele. In fact, I'd venture to say he probably wouldn't have made it as far as he has in the league without a good one because he isn't a supremely talented player.

Exactly. Dude has played 96 games in 7 years.

Only time he misses was 4 games when he tore his ACL

Lazy and unmotivated players simply don’t show up to work every day.
