RR has said he likes his QB room and I think it's for good reason. I still believe Heinicke has impressed the coaches and his teammates to the point where they are all intrigued at how good he can be. Fitz is the perfect guy to bring in for what we are doing in finding out how good the QB's we have can be. I can't help but think of Mark Rypien when I look at our QB room. Ryp was drafted in the 6th round and turned into a SB winning QB on a team that likely thought they'd never need him to start. I don't see why, with a great roster around them, Fitz, Taylor or Allen can't be very good QB's for this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here I am excited during an offseason again You could also add Thomas into that equation. Edited May 27, 2021 by Chris 44 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelvin Bryant Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 2 hours ago, TrancesWithWolves said: This is what I think I think: 1. barring a calamity in camp Fitz starts the season regardless of how well Taylor looks. 2. barring an absolute miracle year (fingers crossed), at some point, Fitz is either going to have a mini-bad play streak or get dinged and Rivera will turn to Taylor. 3. if Taylor plays like the 5’ 10” unicorn we all saw last season he’s only coming out for injury. 4. if otoh Taylor stumbles, we go back to Fitz who has proven he doesn’t take benching personally. 4. the key is that somehow we MUST find out this season, before the 2022 draft, just what we have in Taylor Heinicke. 5. the only way to do that is to play him during the regular season. Well said. Henceforth, Taylor H shall be known as "The Unicorn." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggests he’s pretty high on Patterson. Speaking of which, anyone ( @Skinsinparadise) have the PFF differences in run blocking grades from Leno/Lucas and Flowers/Sweitzer? Not that their word is gospel, just curious what we might expect there... That is an interesting quote on RBs... He has to have meant Patterson because we didn’t add anyone else... Here are the 2020 PFF grades for the 4 guys you asked about. Leno’s run block grade was a bit of an outlier compared to past years, but on average it looks like he’s a bit better in that area than Lucas. But overall Lucas was actually better in 2020. Schweitzer also had his best year last year according to PFF. Flowers was the 32nd ranked guard in 2020 and 33rd in 2019... so very consistent in that respect. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) 8 minutes ago, Skinsinparadise said: Doubt Chase gets it unless the whole defense is good enough that media thinks it has to be someone on the team. Harder to get 20ish sacks on a defense with other pass rushers rightfully gobbling up some of that. If the defense is even better, I wouldn't even be sold that Chase was the best option. He might be, but narratives switch quickly. All it takes is one defender having a great game in our first primetime match (TNF?), then suddenly the media latches onto them for the season. Edit:. Our week 1 opponent has two guys on that list. Edited May 27, 2021 by Alcoholic Zebra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's generally for known good players coming back from injury and having a pro bowl season. I don't think anyone fits that bill with us this year.

You know we have all been kinda piling on him and saying he is ripe for being released next year, but I think with the upgrades around him he will be asked to do less as far as covering for other guys and I think he has a real good year. To be more precise, I mean that he will have a more defined / focused role this year. Edited May 27, 2021 by Chris 44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
