Howards "only good season" was one year ago, ending in 2010.

In the 3 seasons they've both played, Howard has put up nearly twice as many games as Neuvirth, beats him in GAA and SVPCT, and has close to as twice as many wins as Neuvirth. Hell, he has more wins than Neuvirth has games played. Neuvirth is also worse than Bob when it comes to getting beaten top shelf...you pick that corner against him and it's almost an instant goal.

Howard is definitely more proven than Neuvirth, and overall he's better. It's also in Detroit's best interest to keep rolling with him as starter. It is not currently in Washington's interest to continue with Neuvirth as starter. He needs more development time as a backup.
