Banging the Table For Heinecke

Brees keeps our offense from being able to score? Brees not playing made it easier for Allen to score?

Not sure I've been watching the same game of football as you, but a pretty simple understanding is that QBs play against the defense. They don't play on defense. 

Allen doing ok against the Saints D had nothing to do with Brees not playing.

Winning? Yeah, I'll buy that. Our defense probably wouldn't have looked as good against Brees and we likely wouldn't have won the game. But Brees not playing had no bearing on how our offense did.

Thanks for clearing that up... BTW Winning yeah thats what I was talking about

The whole thing was about how well Allen did against the Saints, but you were diminishing what he did because Brees wasn't playing.

That was the context of the conversation.

Not one of our back ups is worth “banging the table” over. 

Thats the truth.  Allen/Hieniken, either way its a bunch of losses if they have to start or even come in for multiple series.  Best we can hope for is that things click for Greir sooner than later and he becomes a serviceable backup... and also that Cam stays healthy and none of this matters

Well excuse me for having an opinion. My point was yes he did well against a team that cared so little about winning that they didn't play their starting QB... We have seen other players do well in 1 game then fall flat afterwards and Allen hasn't shown me enough to feel as comfortable as others .

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
