Heinicke getting an MRI


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

It's amazing how Ron simply cannot learn from his mistakes. You aren't helping your team by playing a QB who is obviously hurt and hampered by injury. I felt bad for Heinicke yesterday. Here he was getting his chance to shine and Ron left him out there obviously far less than 100% and he ended up looking terrible.

PFT points out that if Heinicke can't go, the only quarterbacks on the roster will be Kyle Allen...and Cam Newton.

They'd have to put Heinecke on IR and sign somebody else, I suppose.

Garrett Gilbert? :thinking:

Play Allen and let it ride.  That's their only choice at this point.  If he goes down just run the wildcat with CMC for the rest of the game and cut your losses.

Should have stuck with Allen, only a few throws but he looked better throwing the ball. Maybe he can’t run like Heinecke but he would have been a better bet to finish the game.

I swear I knew he would throw a pick after they made that decision. The kid was driving. It's like no decision Ron made this season has worked out in our favor.

Heinicke has a noodle arm, even before the injury his deep balls were falling extremely short

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
