If he is the guy, you extend his contract at the end of the season.
If he is just another Colt McCoy type backup(Colt had a big win yesterday against SEA), you extend him for modest money and draft QBs till you get it right.

Heinicke is an awesome player at $1m per year and I would love to have him as a backup.

I think that, unless he goes off the deep end, you extend him at the end of the season regardless.

Short term, TH needs to continue to improve/work on the following:
- Accuracy
- Decision making
- Playing his role

For the long term, if he's to become a franchise QB, he needs to show he can throw the deep ball (we have way too much talent at receiver to have that limitation) and to be able to put the team on his back when needed.

I'm cautiously optimistic about him right now, I believe he's trending in the right direction, and having a strong running game has been a huge lift for him.

I agree with everything except this.
McLaurin is a legit #1 WR. The rest of the guys are JAGs

Those bums average 2 receptions and under 20 yards game.
There is zero pass catching talent other than McLaurin.

My assumption, when making this comment, is that you'd have a healthy Samuel.

Terry, Samuel, and Logan are receivers that would benefit from deep passes

I can’t wait to see everyone on the field healthy now with TH picking up his play

Heinicke is balling right now.

We still absolutely need to draft a QB in 2022. He plays near this level the rest of the season, it doesn't necessarily have to be in the 1st round. But we need a young guy to develop.

Signing Heinicke to 2 years instead of just 1 is looking genius now tho. Glad he is locked up for at least 1 more year. I'd be down with extending him after the season. Especially since any drafted guy would be on a rookie contract.
