UNC / Sam Howell fans...

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     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.  
    • The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.
    • My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
