Throwing two interceptions and no touchdowns in a half of football will do that. And yes, unless he lights it up next week, it's going to be tough to argue that he brings more to the table as a QB2 than Mason Rudolph come cutdown day.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Howard's two INTs and poor pocket movement suggest Mason Rudolph has QB2 edge.

The source notes Howard threw two interceptions and no touchdowns in a half of football against the Jets, and unless he lights it up next week, it will be tough to argue he brings more to the table as a QB2 than Mason Rudolph come cutdown day. The source emphasizes not overreacting to preseason performance, but Howard carries plenty of blame on both turnovers and had misses outside of those plays, including backwards drifting in the pocket on a first-quarter sack. Howard's realistic NFL ceiling is that of a good backup, and he looks headed toward the practice squad to open the regular season.
