AS or TH Sunday Night

Smith or Hieneke

 

[Caliskinsfan]

Smith if he’s 99% or better, Heiny otherwise

Smith or Hieneke

In a win or go home game to me it's a no brainer . . . Smith if he is healthy enough.

 

[Breed]

After some thought. I don't think Alex should play, even if green lighted by the medical staff. In fact I think he needs to end his season and give his calf/his leg time to rest n heal. That said. Watching ESPN right now and their saying he was sidelined at practice today and Hieneke took all 1st team reps.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Smith.

Most important game of the year you go with the guy who saved the season.....if he looks bad or is still clearly hurt.....turn to Heinicke.....but you can't start the kid on Sunday IMO.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Still think Smith is very close to returning.....that's why they made the decision to release Haskins.

 

[rmilia1]

Its obviously Smith if he's cleared and wants to play .

Man a lot of you Wash fans REALLY want someone other than Smith to play QB lol

I dont get it honestly

I don’t think there are many who wouldn’t want AS, if healthy. Who is this ‘lots’?

For me, I don’t want him injured for life or rupturing an Achilles by playing too soon.

Clearly you are not following this board. Most posters are glad DH has been relieved of his duties here in DC. That really leaves us with Smith (not healthy obviously) and Hieneke. Obvious to everyone Smith should play if healthy. We all know he is not so....

Smith at 75% is a better option in this type of game imo

Like last week, probably a test on Friday to see how the calf responds Sat morning and likely again Sunday during warm ups to determine. I'm saying a game time decision will be made.

Smith at 75% couldn't produce marginal results when he was playing. At 75% he couldn't push off the leg properly or get behind his throws using his legs as he admittedly said after the game. An effective game manager Alex Smith requires a healthy Alex Smith. I hope he can play though.

 

[skinsdad62]

you need 100% healthy CDC to have a chance to win with him playing . if he isnt start heine . if we win then perhaps CDC will be ready for the playoffs

I think you miss the context of those conversations. They are typically this...

DH should not have been benched after Baltimore. We would have been in the same position after both NYG games had DH been playing, hopefully growing.

All of this conversation was prior to DH being a moron for strippers.

 

[Caliskinsfan]

If Heiny has to go, team is behind him, as they should be...

I'm a Smith believer. The way the offense performs with him at the helm can infuriate me at times, but I can say that about every QB the Skins have had since their last Super Bowl win. And unlike every other Skins QB in that time. AS has led the Skins to twice as many wins as losses. The reason I don't want him to play Sunday is I'm looking towards 2021. I'm sure he's coming back next year and while I don't see him leading the Skins to SB glory next year. I super cereal don't see him or any other Skins QB doing it this year. So I want AS to stand down and begin the healing process as well as avoiding any possibility of re-injuring/injuring himself further by playing anymore this year.

I'm satisfied with the improvements that have been made this year. I'm satisfied that we all now know Haskins isn't the answer and can get on with the business of finding a QB to lead the Skins into the future. What I've been looking for pretty much in the Snyder era from the Skins is tangible year to year improvement. In that sense this season has been a success. That doesn't mean I hope the Skins lose Sunday. I'll be cheering like a victory. Besides, somebody has to be the first team to win consecutive NFC East crowns and if they win Sunday. It may as well be the Skins.

Trade for Carson Wentz?

Joking! Joking! Put down the machine guns.

 

[Sportster 72]

If Smith is 90% you start him but if he shows signs of not playing well then Heinicke goes in.

I would give up a fourth.
