    Odds are that they would have to turn one out at some point in time. Not saying this is the time.. just saying.

    Same guy that was trying to hand the game to the Steelers? Did everyone in here get stupid after the season ended? What the **** is wrong with some of you in here? Is context that hard to understand?

    Conversely it does not mean he can't be either. Stay tuned!. We will most certainly know next season

    Stroud's turnovers had less to do with him and more to do with our defense..... Stroud didn't have miscues... those balls were taken

    No it didn’t, he was fumbling the ball on the snaps. And a horrible throw with very little pressure in the red zone.

    Well until he is given a chance, he is a "possible", franchise QB. With a 21st century play caller, who knows. I would like to see what he's got.

    There’s only one QB in the 2026 draft that don’t have a big question mark next to his name and he will be long gone before we get the chance to pick. If the coaches like the tools he has then give Howard a chance. He had the opportunity to sit behind a HOF’er for one year and soak in some knowledge. He seems like the type that didn’t take that lightly.

    If McCarthy is really comfortable with Mason Rudolph and Will Howard he should be fired by midnight. Who in thier right mind would be comfortable with that duo? I’m not saying I wouldn’t try Will Howard and sink or swim so we know where to go in 27 but how the F could you feel good about that room?

    Howard hype is real. no one in upcoming draft is better the he is, if we draft a QB they will not be ahead of him on the depth chart. I say draft a receiver and other positions early and go with Howard next year

    The only negative thing I’ve read in here on Howard is the round he was selected.

    You can pick QBs in the first round like Kenny Pickett. How’d that work out?

    I won’t even mention a certain QB that just made the Pro Bowl.

    And these are “experts” on QBs.

    Well, some people might like Howard's developmental potential. Statistically, he's really not much off of Mendoza as a prospect with each coming off a Natty... I don't necessarily consider Mendoza or Simpson far and away better prospects than Howard. Rudolph just is what he is. Reasonable, cheap, back up. He's got a ton of value as your 2nd/3rd QB and that's about it. He's proven he can come in to a short stint as a starter and not look like total @$$.

    What do you expect him to say though? He just inherited a roster of guys, its not like he's going to start crapping on his QB's haha I believe him when he says he likes Howard's potential... He is comfortable under center and can be really good in phase. He doesn't have huge upside out of phase, but he's athletic enough to take off and hurt you with his legs just badly enough. He's actually quite a similar player to Dak Prescott coming out of school (with even a bit more polish because of his time at OSU) though Prescott was used as a runner much more extensively in college (he isn't a runner at the NFL level and neither will Howard be). I could totally see it if McCarthy sees a young QB with the capabilites of Dak. Now he just needs to put some freaking weapons on that offense to help this thing go.
