ClaytoAli Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I’m not speaking on the ODU QB until I see him play a full game. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Washington Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 He appeared to be very winded in his short work. Hopefully he's on the treadmill this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
httrMP Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 All this team needed was average QB play. Don't need hero ball or dumb mistakes, just make smart decisions. Heinicke might be able to provide that (or so I hope). 2 5 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partag Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 A good read: https://lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2019/08/19/panthers-qb-taylor-heinicke/ And then more! Taylor Heinicke, Old Dominion University Peter Casey-USA TODAY Sports Taylor Heinicke was the top high school player in the state of Georgia in 2010, yet the big FBS schools like Georgia were less than enamored with his overall size and arm strength. Heinicke went on to have a stellar four-year career at Old Dominion University, winning the Walter Payton Award and Dudley Award in 2012. Heinicke finished his ODU career with 14,959 yards of passing, 1,320 yards of rushing, 132 touchdown passes and 39 interceptions. Heinicke also has good speed (4.63 second 40-yard dash) and is very comfortable in the pocket, scanning the field and going through his progressions with confidence. Heinicke is smart, can throw with touch and accuracy and knows where to attack a particular defense. Heinicke's biggest problem might be his lack of arm strength and lack of accuracy on deep balls, especially on the sidelines. Heinicke is not accustomed to taking the ball under center and will likely struggle to feel comfortable doing so in the pros. His intelligence, elusiveness and overachieving mentality should all make it worth a chance drafting him in the later rounds. If he take us to the play off, do we start de Heinicult ?:) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In both, he was knocked out of the game due to injury. I could be mistaken. Turned the ball over a lot as well. My brother said he thought Heinicke's better than Allen. He's still baffled by the Panthers keeping Will Grier over both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillBill26 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I'm excited for TH. I don't expect much, but we don't need much from that position. We've proven that. Just don't make boneheaded turnovers. With the running game and spreading the ball around, get first downs and chew clock, and let the defense win the game. Then in the off-season, upgrade the position as best you can. I'm just glad what's his name is gone. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malapropismic Depository Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 It's crazy that this guy didn't even see the field, for his XFL team. Yes, the season ended prematurely, but it's still strange he couldn't get on the field during the time the league was active. Was he hurt then, too ? For his XFL team, he played behind Nick Fitzgerald, who's never taken an NFL snap. And is now out of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumplestilskin Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I just hope the few remaining stands of calf muscle that Smitty has left can heal. If not lets roll with the new guy as he is Joe Montana compared to Baby D. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get to the playoffs thanks to Heine's play on Sunday, it would be unthinkable to consider the number and the degree of storylines we have. Rivera overcoming cancer IN-SEASON, never missing a game. Alex Smith leading us on a 4-1 run, to propel us into playoff contention, after overcoming life-threatening, limb-threatening, and career-threatening medical hurdles. Clinching the playoffs with a UDFA journeyman, who was taking Final Exams, just weeks prior to that, being the 4th QB to start for the team that season.

They said the movie the Replacements was based off of the Skins strike season. This can be the Replacements 2.

profusion Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 The WFT isn't a deep-threat offense, so I'm not as concerned about Taylor's lack of a big arm. If he plays smart and moves the chains (assuming he plays), that should get the job done. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 He looked competent which is a welcome upgrade around here but i don’t want him playing Sunday. He went to ODU. Has been on multiple teams. He most likely stinks. Hope i don’t have to find out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
