Taylor Effing Heinicke

You know who was bigger than all of those guys? Robert Griffin III. When you run head-long into freight trains repeatedly, you get splattered.

Heinicke's size isn't ideal. But his size combined with his style of play is straight up unsustainable. Deal with it, fanboy.

Ouch. Fanboy. That cut deep. You can coach the kid up to be more selective on running and how to protect your body, ie when to slide like Russell Wilson. You know what you can’t coach? “IT”. Intelligence, decision making, and to some extent, accuracy. Heinicke has those intangibles. Something Haskins did not. It’s not like taking a risk on him is a financial burden to the franchise if he can’t stay health and stay in the league. But if he can through strategic coaching, look at his ceiling. It’s high. Deal with THAT, non-believer.

Heinicke's size wouldn't be an issue if he had Brady and Russ' ability to stay healthy. But he doesn't. Every time he's played he's gotten injured.

Brady said it best, the best thing a qb can offer his team is availability. That is the indictment on Heinicke. You can't just ask a guy to turn off his willingness to play with reckless abandon.

I hate to say it but if we give up picks or players to someone else for their qb, Heinicke is slated to be a backup at best next year. Which I wouldn't mind because if he was the starter I'd make sure we had a solid backup behind him.

If I can act as mediator here, I don't think anyone here is suggesting we let Heinicke walk.

I wholeheartedly say sign him up as he certainly looks like he has more upside than Allen. Like many though, I am concerned that he's not durable enough and that we've only seen a small sample size in the pro's. Thus I want him here to complete against whoever else comes here, and if he win's great; I just wouldn't hang the immediate future of the team on him without at least giving him adequate competition to prove himself against.

Put it on your company P card. It’s yours.



Bam!

If anyone should realize that any quarterback can get hurt it should be us. They can sign or draft whoever they like. If Heineken out does em in practice he will be given the chance to start. If he gets hurt he gets hurt (Ivan Drago voice).

Totally agree. On the flipside I dont think anyone is saying we should anoint Heineken the week one starter with zero competition or free agent acquisitions to consider. Some, like myself, are just really impressed by what he did and rooting for him to win the job. Or at the very least if we bring in a Stafford we know we got a very capable backup. Only time will tell.

Do I get a name plate that says PUNCH .... CEO?

Nope, but you can have one that says PUNCH THE CEO

Is it a title or an instruction?

Depends on who is on the other side of the desk.

Guess that depends who walks in my office [emoji51]
