Currently it will resolve NO unless the team names Howell the official starter again.

predictedNO

@eppsilon What's the current status? Rivera announced Howell is starting in Week 18 but I don't know if that changes the status quo, which was that he was benched

@SethWalder Since Brissett never stated a game I would say Howell remains the starter assuming he starts the game on Sunday as planned.

Iโ€™ll have to come up with better phrasing/rules for future markets like this one - didnโ€™t expect this much drama at the end!

predictedNO

@eppsilon OK. Can we agree that it resolves NO if Brissett is inactive for the game? Because you said it would resolve No last week when Howell was starting but Brissett was hurt.

predictedYES

@SethWalder @eppsilon why isnโ€™t this just a straightforward โ€œwho will start week 18?โ€

predictedYES

@dglid Scheming with the officials regarding eligibility for a controversial play.

predictedNO

@dglid In description it says it would resolve N/A if Howell was starter and finished season injured, so maybe if Brissett is hurt it resolves N/A too.

But I was trading based on the response last week. Howell was benched and then Brissett got hurt and was told the current status was resolve NO even though Howell was starting.

predictedYES

@SethWalder Huh I must have missed where we were told it would resolve No even if Howell startedโ€ฆdid the comment get deleted?

predictedYES

@dglid The intent was to ask whether Howell would play well enough to retain his starting job through the end of the season.

I will resolve YES if he starts tomorrow, as he will have remained the starting QB through the end of the season.

Since Washington seems to have lost confidence in Howell, I should have written the question more carefully. Something like, โ€œWill the Commanders announce a starter other than Howell before the end of their season?โ€ to hopefully avoid injury-related complications. ๐Ÿ™‚

predictedNO

@dglid It was this comment:

โ€œCurrently it will resolve NO unless the team names Howell the official starter again.โ€

In response to my comment: โ€œNot sure where this stands because Howell was benched but Brissett is now hurt!โ€

Iโ€™m not sweating it though โ€” seriously โ€”I recognize this was an unexpected circumstance and no big deal

Not sure where this stands because Howell was benched but Brissett is now hurt!
