Dark Acre Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 5 hours ago, Malapropismic Depository said: You just know he's gonna be heavy into football analytics. Walks up to Center, the wheels start turning in his brain, calculating every possible outcome percentage of every possible throw before he even takes the snap If he's really mathematical, he doesn't calculate anything. It's all intuitive flow at that point. The really superfookingsmart kids in grade school, their brains just see and interpret data differently. It's like a great QB-WR combo; the QB doesn't mentally calculate where his receiver's going to be and when, the QB just knows where he'll be and when because he just feels it -- the term "to get a feel for something". Watch a cat stalk a mouse. That's who you want running your offense (the cat). Cats have an innate understanding of movement, of physics, and they apply this understanding to specific situations involving light, terrain, etc. Let me be very clear: real domestic (house) cats, not made-up, cartoon lions, ok? 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he plays smart and moves the chains (assuming he plays), that should get the job done. Agree. We are a misdirection and get the ball in the hands of the weapons asap and let them grind offense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went to ODU. Has been on multiple teams. He most likely stinks. Hope i don’t have to find out. I would like to find out tho. I’m not sure about this week tho.

Dark Acre Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I did not watch a moment of the game until now when I watched a youtube clip of his highlights. We have a starting quarterback gentlemen. You know he's gonna have some locker room cred now. Smart, savvy, nice throws, good motor. Maybe I'm blind, but good body language. Looked poised, confident, knew the plays. Play him until he fails. And remember what I had in my coffee before yesterday's game. Uh huh. I knows what's I'm talkin' about. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chase Young runs up to him and offers encouraging words. Heinicke replies "I got you, bro. This is what I do". Chase Young : "Ooh, this boy got some swag." Kid's a practical math genius. This is gonna be good practical application for the NFL QB position. He got A's and B's in all these Finals he just took.

bushwack Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I'm aware, I'm biased (big time), but if Smith isn't able to play Sunday I have faith in Heinicke to get the job done. Taylor's had some bad luck with injuries in the past, and if he can stay healthy, we have a legitimate shot at winning on Sunday. Heinicke doesn't have the strongest arm by any means, but he has that "it" factor and is able to make plays with his legs if need be. He knows this offense better than any of our QB's, including Alex, so I believe we'll be in good hands on Sunday night if Smith can't suit up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, we don't even have deep threat receivers. Even TMC, he's more famous for YAC than goin deep But I'm not worried in the slightest ; we just got through with an experiment on a 1st round QB, known for his deep ball, and how'd that work out ? 1 hour ago, Koolblue13 said: So, when he get's hurt like he always has, is Montez going to play?

Warhead36 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I mean he just has to not suck against a bad defense. We're not asking him to outduel Pat Mahomes. Just give us a Josh Johnson late in 2018 style performance, even he piloted us to a road win(should have had two). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carex Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 releasing Haskins should have created a roster spot so Montez being called up shouldn't be a problem. We're not going to be going into the game with Logan Thomas as our backup so I don't see what options we have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 There's no argument for it being a Panthers Prevent D either. He had 1 touchdown on a bomb, and he had two more bombs that were dropped by players that got behind the defense. They got behind the defense or only had 1 defender anywhere near them deep...that's the opposite of a Prevent D. Panthers played a normal D, and Heinicke looked capable of carving it up. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evmiii Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Heinicke reminds me a bit of a younger Colt McCoy. Smart guy on the field, good decision maker but a mediocre arm. He’s probably not the face of the franchise, but he can probably be a great backup rolling into next season. I’d rather role into Sunday night with Alex, but I definitely think we have a better chance with Taylor than we would with Dwayne if Alex can’t go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LetThePointsSoar Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 I'm not kidding when I say I would rather see him under center than Alex. Let him ball out and see just how many games in a row he could win. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Adama Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I thought he was a breath of fresh air after watching Haskins. He was making reads, checking down, running for first downs. He looked like an actual quarterback. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
