Heinicke is above all the busts or has-beens that are holding a backup spot. Compared to a Geno Smith, Jacoby Brisett, Flacco, etc, there real potency in Heinicke's game that these backups do not have.
And better than the likes of Jared Goff.
Not sure how he'll do on windy days. His most accurate days are when the weather is stable and calm.
I have noticed that Heinicke is especially potent in the red zone and inside the opponent's territory. The Logan Thomas play was ruled incomplete, but it was still an actual TD opportunity and not some Cousins esque toss out of the end zone. .
