[quote=punch it in;1301582]Stats are so stupid. Russ had a great rating and couldn’t even move the ball. Nobody in the world who watched that game would say Russ was the better quarterback.[/quote]

which is why his Grade was a 56 and TH was a 68 :)

Its funny because I thought about you when i posted that. Lol. I should have said the ESPN ratings are stupid.

Yeah those QBR stats are so deceiving

[quote=skinsfan69;1301565]They have to draft a QB. The question is when.[/quote]

This draft? No earlier than the 4th round. They really don't have to draft a QB - they do need to find a viable back-up though and that can be either the draft or a veteran. (I hear Fitzpatrick may be available).

Re: Taylor Effing Heinicke
 

Talk of Jimmy G being traded to clear starting position for Lance. Not unexpected/a big secret.

Should we be considered a possible landing spot, give the weak draft? Personally I don't see him as a big enough upgrade over TH to be worth pursuing for the cost. Certainly wouldn't give up a #1 for him.

WFT has their back-up in TH, they need a legit starter. I'd love to see them make a run at Russell Wilson. He'd do great in this system.

Re: Taylor Effing Heinicke
 

If TH keeps this up, he'll get an extension and we will be ok at QB for a few years

Don't say that too loud, some still seem to be sleeping on TH

Hell no

Re: Taylor Effing Heinicke
 

Like was said earlier, either TH needs to be hypnotized into believing every situation is down by 6 with 2 minutes to go, OR, he needs to play a higher level in the 3rd quarter especially. I feel like those series after our d was stopping them the whole offenae system TH included went into a we got this. We don't got this until that whistle blows.

If TH had a cannon I wouldn't be sleeping on him, I'd be buying in. But there were plays left on the field Monday because he couldn't put the mustard on it. That's why I say he's a definite keeper as a #2, because he can come in for a downed starter. But he's not a long term answer at #1.

These last 6 games will go a long way in determining that.

I honestly think even if this is the case, you need to find a young guy to develop in a traditional sense. It removes decision to move up to draft a qb in the first round or over pay a veteran in Free agency.

It would be the best outcome to have TH develop enough to lead this team for the next couple years. But his ceiling isn’t high enough to not have a younger plan b. If we like a QB in the 3rd or 4th round…even the late 2nd, you grab him and put that work in to develop him

Re: Taylor Effing Heinicke
 

I'm glad we have him right now. There are other QBs that could probably have us in this same position or better, but he is who we have now and he is getting it done, and seems to be getting better.

That being said, like MTK says, these last 6 games will be crucial for him. If he can manage to keep this team in contention, or even better, take this team to a Division title, then he has to be considered for the #1. BUT, that doesn't mean they stop trying to upgrade that position. Just because this team makes the playoffs, or wins the Division (hypothetically), doesn't mean we can't do better.

Re: Taylor Effing Heinicke
 

No doubt we should keep looking for a guy to develop. TH may end up buying us some time in this regard, and alleviates the desperation to find someone right away. We appear to be moving from code red to code yellow in the QB dept. If TH finishes strong though I'd really consider locking him up for the next 5 years. As we know the QB price tag only continues to rise with time.
