Yeah, I'm not buying the "Taylor told Rivera to start Howell" narrative.

Rivera initially announced Heinicke as the starter, and the DC media and fans lost their minds over it.  So he backtracked.

 

 

Or Heinke thought that it would be better for his career if he stayed out of the Hornets Nest/Spotlight that is Washington Football right now.  

Taylor has a decent career ahead as a backup qb.  No reason for him not to let Howell be the focus of Washington media attention.

Ron and hard headed "muh vets" depth chart decisions have certainly been a constant of his head coaching career.

Yes, that seems to be his weakness and why I was glad he left the Panthers, even though I liked him a lot as a person.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By strato · Posted

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.

      Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
