Pretty cool photo, though. And Skyler Howard is a pretty cool customer. We’ve been around enough teams and enough quarterbacks here to know when the offense is right and falling behind its leader. It was that way with three years for Pat White. It was like that last year with Clint Trickett. And it’s been like that at times in between, but not often. Those were either special players or special cases who commanded respect at their position.

It’s early, I know. And I suspect there are people reading this who are not yet convinced Howard can or will make it through the season. But there is a certain reverence teammates hold for Howard, not for what he does on the field but for how he handles things off of it. It’s an optimistic story with a shocking conclusion.

P.S.
