It wasn't the rookies fault, there are 11 guys on defence. Not sure you can justify giving Payne a big contract next year, he just isn't effective enough on an every down basis

I expected Payne and Ionnaidis to crash the middle of the line every down. Never saw them in the backfield

Neither is Allen but he already got paid.

I would trade Payne next year and pay Settle who I think should be starting.

[EdmundDorf]

I would rather keep Settle and Ionnidis than pay Payne and let them walk

If Fitz is out for any legit time, I wouldn’t be opposed to them calling Cam Newton. Seriously

Nah. Heinicke and Allen all the way. If the team fails then we look to the draft. If either succeeds Great!

I don't trust Heinicke or Allen's ability to stay healthy. That was my hope for Fitz, since he's been pretty durable in the past, but here we are.

Also, I hope reps with the #1 team help Heinecke, so he can throw the ball to other receivers, besides Dyami Brown, in contested downs.

+1

Even at best Fitzpatrick is a gap qb. And Heinicke is still an unknown. Unless Heinicke throws for 4k and 30+ td's this year I doubt he's our long-term starter too.

Why you wanna do some dumb shit like that? Implying the qb play is the thing holding this team back? Implying Heinicke doesn't deserve an opportunity to show what he has?

This is dumb on multiple levels.

No because Taylor got hurt after 1 start last yr and Allen was also Injured, if TH goes down next week, then what? Bring Cam in as insurance and lets be honest he's prob better than Fitz

Let's see what Fitz has. 2nd let's see what Heinicke and Allen have. Last let's not bring in another old qb, if we go through these 3 then we just draft a qb like we could have done this year.

I mean yeah, if every single current qb on our roster gets injured and you have to bring in a qb off the street - then sure I'd bring Newton in.

But your post made it sound like you'd rather bring in Newton than have to rely on Heinicke for any length of time if Fitz has to miss weeks.

No I mean if Fits is legit out for weeks , we need an insurance policy

I'm disappointed that we as fans have zero patience. We lose a close first game of the season to a very good team, and suddenly the d-line sucks, the linebackers suck, the O-line sucks, the QB sucks, the coaching sucks, the offseason moves sucked, if we had Moreland and Moses - somehow the outcome could have been different...

My assessment - the talent is there on both sides of the ball, but the offensive coordinator is just not good. We have 21 regular, post, and preseason games with him calling the plays and one opening drive TD. That's a large enough sample size for me.

You can't continually lose the time of possession battle with a 2-1 ratio and expect the defense to hold up. If you are losing the time of possession battle 2-1, it better be because you are putting together quick scoring drives. That is not the case here. The offense can rarely sustain a drive.

NINE possessions yesterday - 3 punts, 4 field goal attempts, 1 turnover, and 1 lone touchdown.

It was a very winnable game, but you're not going to win a lot of games in the NFL with 16 points.
