Early this offseason, the Washington Commanders made it clear that they were all-in on rising second-year quarterback Sam Howell. Washington signed Jacoby Brissett in free agency to compete with Howell, but every indication was that Howell would need to lose the job.
The Commanders have been criticized for going with Howell. After all, Howell was a fifth-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft. Therefore, he can’t be a good NFL starting quarterback, right? That’s foolish and, quite frankly, a lazy take.
