Taylor Effing Heinicke

[punch it in]

Thing is with Heineke his situation is weird. Nobody ever heard of him until he came in end of last year. He looked real good. Went through the next offseason as the presumed backup and boom - once again thrown in the fire. After 9 starts he is playing well again.

The ONLY knock on him after the playoff game last year was durability. I kept saying he was being bought in cold and it was contributing to his injuries. Now that he is in rythm/ game shape/ better understanding of the offense durability hasn’t even been uttered once.

If this was a true rookie we would be absolutely ecstatic right now. For all intensive purposes he is one, only he is more mature. You never hear about anything negative with this guy as far as work ethic, or off the field nonsense. If he plays at this level for the rest of the year and stays healthy I see no need to crown him King of the backups. Wouldn’t even be interested in reaching for a quarterback. Take one late if you see promise than draft him …as a backup with potential for starting down the road. But right now Im extremely comfortable with TH.

He's limited, arm talent just isn't there... He is able to make plays though and seems to be clutch so I'll take that over a guy like Cousins who has a solid arm and accurate but usually folds

Not every good quarterback has a cannon. I dont think TH has a noodle arm. I think he definitely needs to continue to work on his mechanics. Will help his deep ball. I don’t think the limitations there are overwhelming.

Yeah I don't get the arm talent comments. Lots of strong arm qbs fail. Seems like TH has the arm when it is needed. Remember Carolina's d was damn good going into the game.

It's not saying he has to have a cannon but he struggles on throws outside the numbers, but no he's not a bum and I'm getting to drink the koolaid more and more

Im trying to stay medium w Heinike.

Yesterday was his best pocket passer game imo. Didnt rack up the yards, aided by a run game but he was making quicker on time throws.

There were only a few drop backs where he froze with indecision. For the most part, it seems like we ran the plays in our weekly game plan for the first time this year.

Happy to see Heinike being coachable. I honestly didnt think he would improve his game and thought hed go back and do even more backyard football .. but he hasnt.

Hopefully these past 2 games arent just blips.

Staying medium might be Jim Zorn's lasting contribution to this world. I say it all the time lol.

My only complaint with Heinicke at the moment is that occasionally he has these plays where he freezes and takes the sack because he isn't decisive enough.

Nit pick the guy after a W bc im an asshole .. pulling a haskins and throwing off the back foot unnecessarily.

Had Terry for an easy TD toss with about 4 mins left in the 4th but just back footed it for phantom pressure and threw a bad ball.

Panthers playing at a C level had a chance to win it even though we were playing at a B level.

6 would have been better than 3. And that was a miss. But he played about perfect, including getting us into FG range, before that pass. So I won't hold it against him. Typically though, you gotta have that 1. But defense locked up the W.

He's balled out the past two weeks against two very good defenses. Not sure what else we can ask at this point.

Jeff George had a cannon.. Ryan Leaf Big arm …Haskins had the Tools .. Taylor has that intangible that you can’t measure , it’s the Heart and desire !

I couldn’t figure out who Taylor looked like, but I placed it today. TH looks like a short Chipper Jones. Lil Chip

Good call

But can TH pull a “Chipper” which is fuck a Hooters waitress, while married, and have a love child? Then the Larry Jones circle is complete.

Hittin a hooters waitress with the pole was every man goal when living in the 90s.

If TH keeps playing well, or his play keeps trending upward then it makes things real difficult this offseason. You still have to draft a QB no matter what. The question is - when?
