Howard has even more limited experience, with just the 2026 preseason under his belt, but it was a bit of a mess for a player whose calling card was stability over raw talent.

Howard's preseason was messy; losing to Rudolph signals limited upside as QB2.

Will Howard has only the 2026 preseason under his belt, and it 'was a bit of a mess for a player whose calling card was stability over raw talent.' His preseason performance was disappointing given his reputation. While his roster spot shows some team belief, not beating out Mason Rudolph 'isn't a great sign.' The source suggests a solid QB2 role isn't completely out of the question, but the focus is on Drew Allar in 2027.
