Remember earlier in the week when former Washington tight end Logan Paulsen said Howell wasn’t ready? Paulsen is a fantastic analyst and knows what he was talking about, and he mentioned he’d heard Howell wasn’t ready. So who told Paulsen that Howell wasn’t ready?
Look, no one is saying that Howell should’ve been the quarterback all season. It was clear in the preseason, despite showing promise, that Howell had some work to do. He still has work to do, but he operated the offense efficiently, made really only one bad decision, and made some terrific throws. His legs were a weapon for Washington. There was nothing in that performance that made you believe he was not ready. Perhaps it was a coaching issue that Washington thought he wasn’t ready.
