It literally takes another QB to get Ron to do what he should have already done...

Or a worse player getting injured to finally start a player that is probably better. Not saying Howell is better than Heinicke. Just saying Rivera stubbornly sticks to his guns to the detriment of the team.

That was a class act move by Heinicke there.

Taylor is masterfully forging a long, healthy career as a solid backup in this league. Good rapport, team-player, moxie to spare, and if you have your franchise guy at QB, I can think of few other backups in the league who I have every confidence they could step in and compete, and even win some games if your starter has to miss time.

For sure. He isn't a starter but he's a quality backup and part of being a quality backup is being a great guy in the locker room.

Yeah, he's the next Ryan Fitzpatrick.

We shouldn't have let him go.

Ron also didn't know he would be eliminated if he lost this past weekend and then clarified that "he thought they would win and only focused on what would happen if they won." so no surprises here other than how great of a teammate and person Heinicke is. 

I have no idea how Howell plays but it would have to be awful to not have given him more time considering the situation for them this year.

      This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one.

      ESPN's All Quarter Century Team 2000-2025

      I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.
