Trying to do too much, always giving it 110 percent because you know you constantly have to prove yourself. Look how this latest injury occurred. A dive from the four yard line. That is a guy trying to prove himself.
If the bring in a Stafford than that changes everything. You certainly keep the man as a backup either way.

I'd say Smith is out. I doubt they bring him back and he probably will retire anyway.

And Colt McCoy 2.0 he is not. Colt gets to stick around with his less than mediocre play because he went to Texas. Heineken played better in five quarters than McCoy has played in five years.

It wasn't the EZ dive he hurt it, it was on a subsequent sack. Landed on his left shoulder. Not down to his trying too hard, down to coming down a DL on top of him. That is going to happen quite frequently in the NFL, and does call into question his durability.

He popped his AC joint out on the dive. The not so EZ dive lol.

Didn't hear them say anything at that point or see him struggling on the sideline. He only came out on the subsequent 3rd down sack and hadn't looked hurt to that point. Must have been toughing it out in between!

I really like him and want to see him back at least as #2, but his injury history is a worry, and popping your shoulder on an almost unopposed dive only reinforces that.

This is just plain wrong. When you play a sport that involves contact with other players and with the ground, there are times when a slight nudge can cause you to hit the ground differently than your body is naturally setting itself for. In basketball, I was forever turning my ankle either being bumped on the way down from a rebound, or my foot landing unexpectedly on someone's foot. In football, on a play like this, he is diving forward and his body is bracing for the landing. As he is bumped by the defenders, his body rotates slightly and he lands on his shoulder. This is how guys get hurt, and to pretend that it is somehow because his body is weak or soft is just wrong.

I'm not buying Watson will be available.

We don't have the capital for Watson but I'd be all in on that.. He also wants to go to Miami per reports.

My guy is Stafford, I'd offer our 2nd round pick for him as well.

i don't think Miami would be interested.

I really like TH. At the very least he has earned an offer to come back and compete next year. I'm not going to say that he isn't built to withstand the rigors of an NFL season, especially if he has an offseason with the team / trainers, but I am a little concerned about his durability given his style of play. Anyway, he definitely has to be considered. Coming off the street, he looked better than all three of the other QBs that started a game this year.

I'm not opposed to see if Kyle Allen wants to come back and compete, but personally I wouldn't bring him back. That was a pretty good injury he suffered, and it appears that TH is better; and I don't see either of them being the long term starter. I say wash your hands of Kyle Allen, bring back TH, sign a Veteran QB, draft a QB, and have a fierce competition for QB1, QB2, and QB3.

Smith needs to hang it up, he did his job this yr and went out with a Win.

[gibbsrcnfan]

i was very impressed very gutsy but solid backup in IMO..

If I'm Rivera I'm feeling pretty good about the backup QB position assuming Allen and Heinicke both want to be back, but they have to be aggressive in adding a true QB1.

Yes I want this to be the plan. Although we also need to be prepared for the worst case scenario since the QB free agency is limited and we are not in a position to draft one of the top rookie QBs. If we cannot find a new #1 QB which means we might need to roll with Allen or Heinicke as starter next year.

Heinicke is a winner! Not even in the NFL a month ago , not bulked up and with almost NO game experience he has a phenomenal game! Sign him up NOW.

He’s either a GREAT BACKUP and/or he competes for the starter job! He will need to bulk up to survive a full season. Uber-intelligent QB, who has excellent mobility, KEEP HIM!
