Both have very similar starts to their NFL careers, and Drew comes in to us a slightly higher price. He was the leading QB in last year's preseason and did admirably in his full start against the Eagles. There is some neck injury concerns with Daniel Jones, and he has been inconsistent at times so it would appear the Giants are a better fit for him to get a chance to start if Jones were to falter.
As for Howell, there is a lot we can learn from him opening season as the Commanders QB, and he threw a lot of passes leading the league in 612 pass attempts. He is still a work in progress, and if would be safe to say the upside is unknown with Howell, but there is the potential with a new coaching staff and a new offensive system he may thrive better in it then what he had with the Commanders.
