Looks like they're going with McKee and Howell as backups.

Howell or DTR is a legit question.

Yes I know, considering I'm replying to a post that says so. My point is which one would you actually want? As a Vikings fan even KOC couldn't recover Howell.

Howell has actually won NFL games before and he actually played well vs. us when he was in Washington. He can at least sling it and maybe chuck coin flip balls to AJ or something like that

DTR is irredeemably ass.

Either way he's gonna be QB3 so it's only in disaster situations where he'd be playing. McKee is an amazing backup and if both QB's fall it's cooked anyway so it's whatever

Howell cut us up a few times. Sirianni thinks there's something there, seemingly. And he couldn't be much worse than DTR looked, really. In an ideal world it'll be academic and he won't see the field.

howell looked like a god against us, so yeah there’s something there. we’re fucked if howell/DTS see the field anyways so you might as well roll with the guy you know can sling it.

Our season will be truly fucked and the sky will be falling if Howell or whoever QB3 is starts a game that we need to win 😂

DTR is one of the worst regular season QBs ever

u/santeli Vikings 3d ago

And Sam Howell strikes confidence. Got it. It's basically chicken or chicken. I guess Philly is ordering the chicken.

u/athrowawayiguesslol Eagles Eagles 3d ago

Sam Howell has way more upside lol, I get you’re down on him but he’s been serviceable in the past. DTR has done nothing

u/Floober440 Browns 2d ago

He's a nice dude but yeah, Howell is like a fucking Pro Bowler compared to DTR.

u/santeli Vikings 3d ago

Hey man unlike a lot of Vikings fans I have no grief with Philly so I hope he works out. Also treat my boy Durhan well. He'll throw a lot of unhittable strikes in the world series for y'all

I don’t think you understand how bad DTR is

Sam Howell is bad, don’t get me wrong. He was awful in training camp and in the preseason. I am just as glad as you are that we traded him away

but Sam Howell looks like Tom Brady compared to DTR. DTR has thrown one touchdown and 10 INTs his NFL career and that’s just scratching the surface how bad he is

The answer is pray you never have to get to your 3rd String.

u/FoxNews4Bigots Eagles 2d ago

Not a legit question lmao, dtr is gone and Howell is QB3

Wentz vs literally anybody else is the real question. Dude is open to being a mentor since....
