Win or lose stoked to see him have the opportunity....but ya. Don't think they have much of a chance against Brady and company. Unless their defense turns in the performance of their lives.
He played very well. A few mistakes as expected but overall very impressive performance and almost pulled off the W.
Yep. He looked good. He good be a solid backup quarterback which would be a very good career.
.
Taylor Heinicke has been in the league since 2015, has been in the reserve role for a few years already with 6 different teams. Anyone who can make an NFL roster is a good QB period and sometimes fate gives guys who have a fledging career another chance.
LA Tech had a QB like that --Luke McCown-- who played in the NFL for 14 seasons, almost all of it as a
backup QB. Luke was a 4th round draft choice in 2004, and retired from the NFL in 2018. He made good living for many years, and only started 10 games in his career, I think. It is estimated that Luke earned
$17.159 Million over his career, and only played in 62 games. So, he made an average of almost
277K per game that he played in.
Not bad work if you can get it.
Anyway, Luke was incredible at LA Tech, where he threw for 12,666 yds, which is still 25th all-time in college football history. (Former Bulldog QB Tim Rattay is 80 yds ahead of him at #23 with 12,746 yds passing in only 3 yrs!) McCown started 43 out of 44 games of his college career, establishing school records for completions (1,088), attempts (1,827) and passing yards (12,994). His 88 touchdown passes ranked eighth-most in NCAA Division I-A history. He also had 11 rushing touchdowns. He still holds several NCAA Division I FBS records.
