Ride the horse that got you there if you can. If he can’t go, I’m definitely on board with Heineken, though. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 It would be a great story if he had to start and got us in the playoffs. He was able to come in and move the ball in 9 minutes better than Haskins could the entire game. But I’m under no illusion that we’ve found a diamond in the rough. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Malapropismic Depository Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) Heinicke trots out to take the field. 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.

Malapropismic Depository Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 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 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Smith earned a bachelor's degree in economics in two years[12] with a 3.74 GPA,[13] having matriculated with 64 credit hours earned before attending college,[14] and began work on a master's degree before being drafted... At the NFL combine, Smith recorded a 4.7 time in the 40-yard dash, and had a 32-inch vertical leap.[17] He also earned a score of 40 out of 50 on the Wonderlic exam. He also turned down going to Harvard because he wanted to play football. Smith is pretty smart which is how he has been able to stay in the league so long. So yeah Heineke is 27 just hitting the prime QB years maybe he can hold down the fort after Alex and let us build up our skill positions in the draft OL and WR.

Dan T. Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) Heinicke is different than that kid on Coach Shelby Metcalf's Texas A&M's football team. Coach Metcalf recounted what he said to the player who showed him a report card with four Fs and and one D. "Son, looks to me like your spending too much time on one subject."

bearrock Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Heineke looked like he could be a solid NFL QB from what little we saw yesterday. But he clearly lacks the arm strength to throw with high level velocity. I don't know where his ceiling is, but it's probably not much better than a good backup and a serviceable starter on a decent team. Link to post Share on other sites
Hooper Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 It is nearly impossible to get a shot if you are guy like TH. Not drafted, you have to beyond impress in the QB room and with the three reps you get in practice to make a team. When he finally did get a shot, he got hurt. And there is no patience for interceptions, much less injuries for a guy who wasn't even drafted. Sounds like mentally he had moved on from football. I bet he had a blast yesterday. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Malapropismic Depository Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 To add to all his other strengths, just look at the mobility at 00:19 2 Link to post Share on other sites
tmandoug1 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I watched some of his highlights and I like what I see....now granted they call them highlights for a reason. I hope he can help us sneak through.....good luck Taylor Link to post Share on other sites
Warhead36 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 If he has to start just let him run around and make plays. Run some wild cat. Be creative with it. He just has to muster together ~20 points and not make the big mistake and hope our D can win it for us. Link to post Share on other sites

petey hodge Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) ODU fans that watched TH last night weren't surprised by his offensive spark and efficiency to move the chains... he's been doing that at Old Dominion for years.... 15,000 passing yards. It's been my christmas wish to watch Taylor lead the Redskins to the playoffs.... and now he'll be given the chance. Thanks Ron!
