Panthers claim QB Taylor Heinicke off waivers

[TheSpecialJuan]

Just now, TheSpecialJuan said:

STRENGTHS

 Shows above-average poise. Has a feel for pocket. Climbs the pocket with bouncing, controlled footwork and creates more favorable passing lanes. Accurate passer when given time to throw and uses anticipation and timing to overcome poor arm strength. Flashes patience as a quarterback. Allows routes to develop and knows area he wants to attack. Willing to stand and deliver with impending hit coming. Has touch to float throws over underneath defenders and in front of closing safeties.

WEAKNESSES

 Short with small frame. Below-average arm strength with slow release. Syrupy slow set-up in pocket. Must throw with timing rather than to windows. Struggles to improvise and needs plays to stay on schedule. Short-armed deep balls, leading to interceptions. Production marred by receiving corps with hands of stone. Had four multi-interception games in 2014, including games of four and three. Plays with tunnel vision at times, missing out on open teammates.

DRAFT PROJECTION

 Round 7 or priority free agent

BOTTOM LINE

 Heinicke has the ball placement and accuracy of an NFL backup when he's protected and dealing, but his small stature combined with his inability to drive the ball and make NFL throws could be hard to overcome once he gets into an NFL camp. Heinicke must play in a timing-based system to have a chance of being on an NFL roster.

Could’ve been doing something a lot more productive than filing the paperwork to claim this bum 

The same could be said about your whining posts.

Sounds like the talks with Anderson might not be going so well. 

I would tell DA that based on his current value as a backup I would have to take cash to allow him to play, in advance.

So. He knows Norv's system. A good get who can help Cam pick up the O quicker. 

Ding ding ding. Camp arm and brain with chance to catch on with the practice squad. Still expect a vet QB to get signed.

Hit em’ with the Heinicke

[WarHeel]

The end of the Anderson era perhaps?

[TheSpecialJuan]

This guy is probably better than Garrett Gilbert 

[Sasquatch]

1 Completion (his only attempt) for 10 yards. 1 run for 2 yards. BUT throw that 'all' away by taking a 16 yard sack.

 

[blackcat]

I like him because his name is almost Heineken.

[Dilla]

Still hope we draft one tbh
