    Somebody here also had the audacity to say that he got “bailed out” by throwing the shuffle pass when almost sacked.  Mahomes does that and he’s a miracle worker. 😭

     

     

    He bailed himself out by thinking quick on his feet and making a good play?...That's a unique take lol...that sounds like it's from the Buddy Ryan "All he does is catch touchdowns" school of logic.

    You are.

     

    That wasn’t prevent defense.  The Niners blitzed and blitzed and blitzed Wentz.

     

    There was even commentary on the blitzes Wentz faced in real time (at least on Twitter).

    God damn it was supposed to be a bye-week joke! Taylor is so bad he can't even win the.... :kickcan:

     

     

    yeah, but see, I'm one of those guys who feels insulted when he's corrected, and even when I see someone else corrected lol...

    I am confused now. When you said in the last 4 weeks. What weeks were you saying? Wouldn't it been better to just say hasn't won the last 3 games?

     

    I'm saying the last time the team won with Heinicke behind center was 4 weeks ago. It would be no different than saying the last time we saw the offense look potent with Wentz was 14 weeks ago. It indicates how much time has passed since we've witnessed something.

    Didn't know Taylor was so bad that he didn't even win the bye-week. :(

     

     

    Was it 4 weeks ago since the last win?...You're welcome lol...

    He didn’t say they were making the decision, he said that he felt it was important to hear from the guys who play what their thoughts were.  That he intended to do more listening than talking.

     

    I’ve thought all along that Rivera has been riding momentum and the pulse of the locker room.  It makes perfect sense to engage them at this juncture.  
     

    Its no concern of mine that if they lose, he’ll be like “Terry got it wrong, should have stuck with Heinicke”.

     

    My concern wasn't about if they lose...it was about not basically just saying "I've made a decision" and maybe following up with some sort of generic "I talked with the players, they understand" type of comment. But again, I did not listen to what he said, just reacting off the paraphrasing of his comments.

    I’m just glad we’re not starting Mark Sanchez this weekend.

     

    Or Josh Johnson. Or Kyle Allen. Or Case Keenum. Or Colt McCoy. Or an even older Alex Smith. Or Ryan Fitzpatrick.

     

    Wentz should easily be the best off-the-bench QB we've had in a looooong time. Emphasis on "should" lol...

    Ron even said that he talked to his captains about this and I'm pretty sure Terry had an opinion on who the playoff QB should be, so who cares if anyone doesn't like Wentz starting.

     

    You are wrong.

     

    I'm not sure how I feel about Rivera saying he talked to the captains...I'm glad he did, but it starts to skirt the line of not taking full ownership of the decision. I don't--and have never--seen Rivera as the type of coach to place blame elsewhere (that's more a Mike Shanahan characteristic lol). But I'm not sure why it needed to be said.  Starts to inch close to "even the captains wanted Heinicke benched" rhetoric. *full disclosure: I did not hear what Rivera said so I may walk this take back after doing so.

    I've always wondered just how much of an advantage being taller affords QB's. I want to say it is fairly significant. 

     

    I assumed that's why Heinicke's legs allowed him to get out from the pocket and make plays since he had better vision when he did...no idea if it was true lol, but that was my assumption.

    The thing that gets missed about the "arm strength" talk, is it's not just about stretching the field. It's the power on outs, the quicker the ball gets to a small hole.

     

    It's a pass being in the air for a half second less, with less arch on it. It shrinks the field at all distances. This is missed by a lot of the Heini/Minshew guys. 

     

    It's not that they can't throw a 20 yard out, they just make the ball more catchable for everyone involved. We're lucky to have TMac and Dotson who excel at winning those balls.

     

    It's also about still throwing with velocity and timing when the mechanics aren't there...RG3 could flip a laser 20 yards downfield while backpeddling and throwing off the wrong foot or across his body while jumping in the air.

  9. To make the playoffs--and have any chance of advancing once there--the offense had to perform better and become more potent. It started sliding backwards with Heinicke, and he started turning the ball over more. Commanders with him under center haven't won in the last 4 weeks.

     

    Said a month or so ago (no longer guessing pages lol) that we had a better chance of maximizing the offense with Wentz...I didn't think his first 6 games were his ceiling. I'm optimistically hoping that the benching had a positive effect on Wentz and that the offense becomes seriously dangerous now. Still holding on to the Wentz-as-Nick-Foles storyline coming true lol...
