[countryroads316]

I definitely think Heine has earned a spot on next year’s roster. He can compete with Allen for the top spot, or whatever FA we bring in or QB we trade for. Hopefully, Trask or Mack are there in the 2nd...and we get one of the top here WRs in round one.

First they have to sign him to a contract.

He did enough in his one game and 7 minutes to get a shot. He has a history with RR and Turner so that helps. It is another feel good story. The kid has has a lot of chances and never stuck anywhere. It is hard to say if what he did in the past couple of games is repeatable but I am really happy for him to have had this chance.

Let's not forget Montez. We have no clue what he is capable of.

I thought he was wonderful. I’m sorry the Skins lost. I was rooting for them. (I still call them that)

Heinicke looked pretty good out there. I didn't see much big play ability but his ability to escape out of a collapsing pocket could drive DLmen nuts.

If he does win the starting job his agent better be on the phone with Heineken.

He can and should like whoever he likes, but I hope he stays out of the headlines, as he has been active in his support: Fans Rip WFT QB Taylor Heinicke After Finding Out He’s a Trump Supporter

Or at least be prepared to defend it intelligently so the organization doesn’t have even more PR issues. Keep it out of work but express it how he desires privately (though in public). I think he can go about it smartly.

That has me liking Heinicke even more now

and who likes that moron Biden

It isn’t about who he likes. I’m just talking about being in the public eye. Social media and politics need to be done smartly for the starting quarterback. It’s unfortunate that being vocal on one side is criticized and the other is praised, but I just don’t want things to go the wrong way. I’m not talking about his stances; it’s engaging the mass public when his situation may change into the face of the franchise. I’m not saying shut up and play football, just be smart about it. You would know how the world is turned against that side.

Democrats are already trying to violate peoples 1st amendment rights time to take a stand against them before they do more

You bet your ass we found a qb he did great against a loaded tampa bay team sign him to a 3 year deal only Negtive he will be 28 nexr year instead of 23 or 24 as a rookie Heineke Allen Smith lets get some weapons and add some pieces

Can someone please explain to me why Alex still gets paid next year if he decides to retire? He is the one cancelling the contract, not the team.

I wanna understand this too! Is it somehow written into the guarantee of his contract... which we all know was awful for us at the time.

Retiring player's contracts are treated in the same manner as those in which a player is released/cut. As an example, Dwayne Haskins is owed $4.266 million over the next two seasons. He'll make that money either way, regardless of if he's signed by another team.

Well fuck. If we have to pay him, we might as well have him on the team. He has proven to be quite effective at helping young QBs develop. He will be basically the most expensive coach in the NFL.

If we are paying either way, can’t see why we don’t just keep him as QB developer in the QB room. Play him when he’s as near healthy as possible, use the QB room as a bull pen, lol

That Ridder kid is going to be good.

I strongly believe that Smith is going to retire. Then the question becomes does he want to return as a coach. Now if he wants to return as a player that's going to be problematic as a practical matter because he'll then become the highest paid backup in the league and likely prompting the team to cut/release him rather than having him on the bench at that cost.
