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 FitzLet'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.

I think that Fitz demonstrated today why he has been released by so many teams. The team looked like it was loafing when he was in there. IMO there was a definite change in hustle with Heinicke in there.

I'm disappointed that we as fans haven't learned anything from previous years.
There is a tradition around here during the offseason and then preseason. We make moves in the draft and FA - we get hyped. If preseason doesn't go terribly we get excited and start fantasizing about how great we can be. Sometimes - like this year - the media will start hopping on our jock - in this case about best d-line in football and then subconsciously we start believing it "well, if the national media is saying it must be true."
And then the first game starts and somewhere in the first quarter we come crashing back to reality and realize potential does not equal production. And then we lose and realize this team still has a long way to go to compete with the best teams in the NFL.

Even guys in ESPN said “Fitzmagic can take this team to the Nfc title game”
Then…. being a Skins fan hits us right in the balls again as he goes down with a broke hip because his ass is old as fuck and we are back to playing QB2 for multiple weeks because we bet the bank on Fitz.. unreal.

LOL. facts.
Fitz himself said this is the third time he's been injured in his 17 years in the NFL. That's great and all but you're playing the long odds betting that a 37+ y/o qb will be able to stay healthy over the course of the season.
Also on the best d-line in football - Nothing clears that bandwagon faster than the opposing team waltzing down the field unopposed for a td on the first drive of the game.
