Something people never seem to bring up with Heinicke is that the margin for error is so small because with him at QB there are so many pass plays that go for very minimal yardage, and not very much to clear out a defense, that you see these drives that go for 7-8 minutes, 50-60 yards, but end up in zero points because once you get on the other side of the field where everything tightens up, you don't have the luxury to throw a 3 yard pass and have it got for 15 yards.   If Heinicke was connecting through the air on just a 1-2 20+ yard passes it would look so different.

In fairness I bring this up 8 times a week when he’s playing and am generally ignored.

 

When he’s playing you basically have to win the game 17-15, and nothing can go wrong.

See, this is what I mean when I say people don’t see the forest through the trees. We need to see Howell this year. If he stinks we almost are guaranteed to draft a QB. If he shows promise we likely re-sign Heinicke and roll with Howell. But we have to see him. It’s more than just “omg we need to see the rookie lol”

 

No "we" don't. 

 

Resiging Taylor after spending a whole season talking about getting an upgrade over him then walking into year 4 with Taylor and Howell as the QBs is career suicide for Ron, not gonna happen.

 

 

Taylor needs to stop messing around, cannot lose this game, close to a must win as we've had all year.  Losing today then walking into a possible massacre next Monday could knock us out the playoff race.  Exact opposite of holding the fort, job #1 for a backup QB while the starter is out.

Oh stop whining for god's sake.

 

Heinicke is limited, hence Turner is limited in plays he can call.

 

It's as simple as that. Not a "good or bad" judgement.

No coach should call a game plan that doesnt work with your players abilities. Just ask Joe Gibbs

Yeah we should all be aware of what the offensive game plan will be when Heinicke is in. Its unsustainable over the course of a season but you can win some games here and there, especially against teams like the Colts that struggle offensively.

 

Against teams like the Vikings and Eagles though, it won't work, just like last year when we got massacred by the Cowboys.
