I used to think that, but TH is having problems with basic throws, which is a problem. He's also overthinking and wants to play the hero all the time, and ends up committing dumb mistakes.

That being said, they could become more run focused, but Gibson is banged up and is starting to have a fumbling problem, JD cannot run it all the time, and their other running option is a UDFA rookie.

A good coach can fix all of that. It isn’t like TH hasn’t shown he can make good throws or good decisions. They gotta correct that. A good coach can do it. Not saying TH can become Aaron Rodgers, but they should be able to teach him or calm him down. It isn’t like he hasn’t played without mistakes before. We have seen it. It is like he is getting worse. That is on the coaches imo. Plus what u said about taking some of the pressure off him.

I actually don't remember seeing him play without mistakes. They just weren't caught by the other team.

He was pretty damn flawless against the Super Bowl Champs last year and has had a couple good games this year. Point was he should be progressing but like almost everyone else under this regime he is regressing.

I like Heinicke - as a solid #2, but I wouldn't categorize any of his performances so far as flawless, or close to flawless. He definitely gives this team a chance. Can't say the same for the D.

You don’t think he was awesome in that playoff game last year? I know it is only one game but he has still only started what 6 games including last year. He played good in three this year, and bad in three. Terrible actually. Anyway my confidence in him is waning week to week. I just cannot help wondering if good coaching would help his cause. But I agree - good back up.

Fitz has been in the league forever and is the same basic player as Heinicke is now. Heinicke ought to have a higher ceiling if he is at all capable of growing and has coaches who can help him.

He didn't lose the playoff game (that was the defense again/still), but I wouldn't say he was awesome. 59% completion percentage, 78 QBR, 1 TD / 1 INT, ran for a TD. Pretty good... Actually good enough if the defense had not given up over 500 yards...

He has probably played good more than he's played bad. I am just not as enamored with him as others are.
