So ... How well will Taylor Heinicke perform?

[KendrickPanther]

I'm more interested in how our young WRs look with his downfield passing. If they just run and dink, Ill be disappointed.

I feel like it is almost a certainty that Cam won't play Sunday. Rivera just doesn't want to give Atlanta a heads up (like it even matters anyways)

Taylor Heinicke was an underdog to win the backup QB position, but won it. So he has that going for him. 

What happens if he comes out and lights it up against Atlanta? 

He's going to perform like he did in pre-season - terribly

If he lights it up it won't mean much other than he had a good game.  If he lights it up in the final game also then one has to wonder how Ron thought a one armed Newton gave them the best chance to win during that 6 game skid.

Let's not beat around the bush this move is still Rivera trying to save his job. He just didn't have the balls to sit Cam and risk his job on it. Now he can say no matter what he didn't have a choice.

Every move he makes is under the microscope.  He's been auditioning for his job the moment the team went up for sale.  So yes, the decision to continue to play Cam was a factor in that. 

Personally I don't think he had nefarious intentions in doing so, more of an error in judgement.  He has quite a bit of those.

He's got a lot of red in his ledger.

He could have the potential to be Jake reincarnated like Moore has to be Smith reincarnated. 

He has little in common with Jake other than his skin color

Spot on but it’s a rushing TD not a passing one

It will be interesting to see what the three young playmakers with a qb that can throw a deep ball. It might open up the offense. Heineke can also run a bit.

That's literally higher than all but one QB right now.

It's just being it's usual self.   You're better off just ignoring it.  The more you poke it the worse it stinks.
