They'll be using by week two of the season. A soon to be 39 y/o QB has just so many chances to stay healthy. And yes. I'm a big Heini fan.

Actually correct thread. Every mediocre QB out there signed by another team eliminates the possibility of bringing them here.

Good move by the FO. The kid showed he can compete for the starting spot at QB. Things are falling into place: - No outlandish trade for an old QB - No pre-drama for the draft - Re-signed what seems to be a very good back-up QB, at the very least Starting to believe.

Yep, all of those team had superb or historic defenses. They had the talent on D. In no way did the QB carry the entire team the entire season. As of this moment, thanks to RR, we are much closer to those types of teams than to an offensive juggernaut. I like that.

X2 I have doubts about Allen, but Heine clearly showed he at least deserves a fair shot to be next year's starter. Draft some decent QB and groom him. No need to reach. Paying for a high-profile QB or exchanging the whole farm for a rook is exactly what we've seen during the last 20 years around here. How's that worked out? Rivera wants to change that. We ain't Tampa that just needed Brady to become a winner, nor KC. Those teams took at least 5 years of solid building to be competitive. Hopefully RR keeps some sanity within the organization and let the pieces fall where they may.

Sounds like a good plan. Problem is those two elite vets will cost us a king's bounty in draft picks, which could set us back for years. Sometimes the best strategy is to stay put?

If we want performance right now we should roll with Heine. No other QB we saw with the team en 2020 even comes close to the kind of performance he pulled off against what could very well be the next NFL champion. Pick a decent QB in the draft and let him sit and learn. Keep Allen as a backup. Done.

I could say the same thing about your argument. There is no empirical evidence Stafford will better or even equal his prevous performance with the Lions during the last 11 years if he plays for us. None. What he do know is he has ample experience playing indoors with a very good WR supporting cast whom helped him rack up lots of yards. That's a fact. Thinking he can replicate that performance, under completely different conditions, strikes me as naive.

Ah, so let me get this straight: Playing outdoors in GB once every season invalidates him playing 8 games inside a dome, right? Stafford is happy inside a dome. He's happier when you give him weapons like Megatron, Golden Tate, Golladay, Burleson, Boldin, Ross. Any success he's had must be linked to the system and the guys around him. That's a scary WR lineup by any standard. There's always an exception.

C'mon man, you know what I'm getting at. A considerable amount of QBs that rack up lots of yards play indoors. Or at least under decent weather. That success rarely transfers over to the new team playing outdoors in the North East.

His stats are padded bc he has played all of his NFL career indoors. And he's had some very good WRs in his lineup (and a first ballot HOFamer). Not so sure he can just arrive here and replicate those numbers.

I had no idea who Wright was before yesterday. Can't hurt to bring in some new faces here (?)

Yes, that would be huge. But getting a good combo like that seems like a reach when there are some gapping holes at MLB, TE and safety.

No way Stafford lands here. He wants to win now. Dude is a AAA quality QB because he has been surrounded by a very competent WR corps with Detroit and they play inside a dome. His numbers are directly tied to those factors. We would need much better WRs to make the guy even turn his head this way.

Contrary to practically every other offseason since Snyder bought the team, I'm actually excited to see the team develop and get better. The D is just a few key players away from dominance. Finally, we have someone at QB who can lead the team for at least 5 years without obvious health or performance concers. Our O-line must develop some kind of stability with the running game or we'll never play deep in the playoffs. This is the most important offseason in a while. Rivera has to keep the ship in a straight line.

This is the way. We saw some huge plays by Heine last night. No other QB on ou roster even comes close to his downfield perspective we saw last night. As of this moment, he's much better than either Smith or Allen. Bringing in a ex-superstar QB would only cause confusion. Other holes need to be filled: WR, MLB and some serious OL adjustments so we can actually run the ball. We can compete.

Nice thread here. I watched the whole thing unfold during the 80s-90s. As an impresionable kid, these things really stay in your memory. That 1993 year was terrible. Almost unwatchable with a hobbling Ryp throwing three-yard dunks for four-yard gains. Pathetic. By 1994 we all knew this was a downhill slope (an ex Cowboy assistant as HC? Really?). Now that you bring it up, I can pinpoint the fall of the franchise to the adoption of the West Coast Offense. I'm talking about the overpropensity of short passes and a wiff of a running game. After the Gibbs era style of play, this was a kick in the pants to every decent Redskins fan. Completely alien.

After watching some videos, I'm 100% convinced. This guy is half LT, half Dexter Manley. A true game changer. If we don't draft him I will officially go on strike for the entirety of next season.
