Folks, I can’t believe I’m the one defending Heinicke in any way, and quite frankly it scares me a little
But he is who he is stylistically. He’s limited with his arm, has a gunslinger mentality and struggles with foot mechanics.
His decision making his better, he’s using his hips more on his throws and he has a great feel for the game.
We need an upgrade, but not at all costs. But we need an upgrade. Not going to change no matter what. But he is a better QB than he has been and is serviceable enough to play and start if a better QB can’t be had. And we may not have a chance at one (unless it’s Howell).
Also, it’s okay to talk about the things he struggles with. He has made some bad mistakes and some great plays so far. It’s the Heinicke Experience. It’s who and what he is.
