I’m comfortable with Heinicke as backup

Not an insanely stellar performance, but fairly competent and he ran the same system Cam does. I’d trust him to handle drives or sealing games and not getting blown out. Not a position of concern for me at this point.

Thankfully, you have zero input on roster decisions.

This is the worst thread of the year.

Yeah, no. Watching him live I was not impressed. Made an impressive scramble, but his pocket awareness and lack of arm was pretty bad. Atlanta played up defensively all game.

By definition, a backup is not going to be as good a player as the starter. But you look sometimes for other qualities, one of them being durability.

Heinicke got hurt on one of his first hits. That doesn't bode well.

Congrats to the kid for having the guts to keep playing, but he just wasn't good enough.

They were cerebral, high IQ picks though

[Carl Spackler]

Who would’ve guessed the man who votes against his own interests would come out in staunch support of a white quarterback fresh off a three-interception debut?

well, lots of people actually 

[Proudiddy]

Yeah, this fanbase after four weeks of Cam gutting it out and throwing without an arm, was ready to move on from him, despite holding numerous NFL records, being a former MVP and Superbowl QB.  

Heinicke came in healthy, got injured on a relatively routine play, played like poo, and he gets the benefit of the doubt.

Interesting.

I mean you might want to read my post history before saying that, I frigging love Cam and haven't ever gone after him.

[TheSpecialJuan]

agree

[Squirrel]

Sheesh a backup should be able to start and push the No1 qb.  We don't need a clipboard holder. 

[electro's horse]

i mean im not going to pass judgement on a kid who probably played with a dislocated elbow.
