There is a reason Heineke didn't even start in the XFL. My guess is he will come back down to earth if he has to play a game from start to finish.

I wouldn't use the XFL as much of a yardstick. They only played 5 games before suspending operations.

Not bigging up Heinicke but plenty of QB's have been journeymen etc. and still produced good games/seasons later in their career. We won't really know until he plays Sunday (assuming AS isn't good to go), but I see no reason to be down on the guy at this point.

Alex Smith says he's "right on the doorstep" of returning. He's hoping to continue to progress this week

My hope is that he, RR, and Scott Turner are all on the same page about where he is. I don't care so much that they tell us fans, but I don't want to see the AS from the SF game. And only he really knows how much he is "manning" up to be ready, and how much is true recovery.

I am sure Heinicke will throw a pick or two if he plays. He could have thrown two against Carolina but the defenders whiffed. But even with that, he seems (from the CY clip and some other short pieces) that he has more of the Brett Favre style picks, meaning the other team will get theirs but overall he won't let that stop him from going out and making plays. And just the energy he brought into the huddle seemed to be the spark the offense has needed all year long (no offense Alex)

Agreed except for the ending part. The most important thing is we now have a backup QB who is capable of moving the ball down the field with support from the team. I saw a clip of Young talking about Heinicke during the game last Sunday, Young said that it is obvious Heinicke paid attention during the practices. This statement alone makes me to feel better about Heinicke.

Another thought occurred to me, though surely not original.

I am SOOO glad that the Giants/Cowboys game has zero bearing on the WFT playoff chances. I want to see if RR can motivate this team for themselves, 1 week - 1 game - it is his team's prize to take, no other team affects the outcome of this game. Not even Philly. If the WFT plays solid football they win this game easy. But it is on each of the players to come out and focus on their role. That's what RR has to do this week, keep the team focused and with the goal in their hands.

We need Sweat and Young to be absolutely finger lickin good y’all. If we give Hurts time I fear for our playoff lives. We have to throw the house at him early and often.

Better to be Heinecken than Pabst Blue Ribbon or Piels.

Sometimes an ice cold PBR hits just right. And really all that generic domestic/import lager swill is basically the same.
