Even though they didn't take a step forward this year, I agree they are on better footing than they've been in a long time.

 

I kinda like TH, but they need a real QB.

 

A real QB is hard to find, even then they need some refining.  Heinicke, from the couple of times I watched him, seemed like he has promise.  He's also a rookie so he definitely has room to grow.  If the Redskins can shore up the middle of their oline (same problem as us) that should go a long way to helping him.  They have good receivers and a decent running game.

Heinicke isn't a rookie.  He is a career 3rd string / practice squad player that bounced around the league a few years.  Minnesota, Carolina, Houston, and New England

 

He was 3rd string in Carolina a few years ago, and started a game for the Panthers.

 

Then he went to the AAF or XFL

 

Then he went back to Old Domininion to finish his degree because he thought his football career was over.

 

In 2020 the Redskins needed a 3rd stringer late in the season.  Later they cut Dwayne Haskins, which moved Heincke to backup QB.

 

When Alex Smith was injured in the final game of the regular season, he was named starter for the Redskins Wild Card game against the Bucs.

All true.

 

But he just feels like he's stuck in perpetual rookie status, like Matt Ryan.
