Who else is excited about Heinicke?

Not that I think he can be a future starter here or Cam replacement, but just the fact that this is the first time we're seeing a young quarterback start here for the first time since Cam in early 2011. We have no idea what he'll be or what he can do and I'm fascinated to see if he can show some promise to earn a longer term spot as Cam's backup, or insurance in the worst case scenario of Cam sitting out for an extended period like Luck did. We've lucked out with Cam being so steady here and in the few games he's missed it was always DA--a guy we knew exactly what he was who had been in the league nearly a decade. I'm kinda pumped to see a young unknown QB here again, considering that our season is already lost. It's better than seeing Cam out there for no point whether he is healthy or not. Who else?

It’s the one of the things that’ll make me tune in to be honest. It will be nice to see some passing going on as well like we did earlier in the season. I wouldn’t say he’s unknown, yes only 25 but he’s been on 3 or 4 teams already, practice squads and so on, so I think he’s destined to be a QB back up; I’m not expecting much. Not seeing a Brees/Delhomme/Foles/Keenum etc etc event.

Nothing wrong with it though, couple solid prefermances this year and we fill a hole replacing Anderson.

I'm not excited but i am happy to see what can happen without Cam. It will answer how much it was cam and how much it,was,the,WRs.

Well he could come in and light it up for 400 yards and 4 TDs Sunday and I don't think it would mean a thing. Can only really compare across a large sample size. We've seen plenty of guys like Kap, Griffin, Foles look like the best QB in the league for a stretch but really just be average or terrible when there's film...

I for one am happy that we may be able to solve our quest for a true QB2 that can back Cam up. It would be nice to not worry about that, especially since he is young and not a journeyman or converted ST/WR athlete that also plays QB. 

I don't have high expectations, but maybe give the kid a true look for a couple of games and give him some confidence rolling into OTAs and TC next year. 

Silver lining - Cam gets to rest.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
