In the 3 prior games (this year) Heineke played, the only offensive penalty they had was a delay of game penalty when they were running out the clock and were going to punt in the first game he played. I've seen him move players around which avoided penalties (like a wide receiver covering the end of the line), and he waited to spike the ball until everybody was set for a complete second. In addition, in the delay of game penalty this game, you can see him frantically clapping his hands, but our ?-string center doesn't snap the ball.
We've spent how much money for Alex Smith (worth it), who was killed by the line, Fitzpatrick for one quarter of work, and Wentz, and yet Heineke is the one who has had to take almost all the snaps. Maybe save the $20M+ and put it towards positions where we need it, like the line. Heineke seems to be the only QB who can survive back there. (Kirk is such a good QB, but with how much he costs, how much has Minny won with him there.) It's funny, because 2 years ago the story was that Heiny :-) wasn't durable...
