I was a Heinicke fan, but I was never a Heinicke believer. I mean how could you not root for the kid: slepeping on his sister’s couch, out of the NFL, only good enough to be an emergency COVID WB who wasn’t even allowed to win who the played is heart out and got us into the playoffs.
His was an incredible almost-Cinderella story. I never quite believed the slipper would fit and he’d get his happily ever after, but I was glad he got to go to the ball.
As someone who’s made a lot of almosts I relate to him.
