turtle28 Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 https://www.nbcsports.com/washington/football-team/ron-rivera-looking-forward-seeing-heinicke-push-fitzpatrick-qb-competition “Rivera has repeatedly said not having a quarterback competition last summer was a mistake, which is why he plans to have one this year despite having a clear favorite in Fitzpatrick. "The mistake I made was that my approach was wrong. I should have made as big a competition as possible, and that's on me. I wanted to try and find a guy. I thought [Haskins] was ready to take a step and take every opportunity," Rivera said. "I try to build that rapport he needed with his teammates, and that would have been something we may have been able to see sooner and could have done something different, perhaps." During training camp, Rivera said the plan is for the team to mix up which quarterback gets certain reps to have all of the signal-callers work with a variety of players. "You try to create situations that are going to be as gamelike as possible," Rivera said. "You want to be able to rotate guys so that everybody gets an opportunity to work with the same group of players. You try to create that energy for guys stepping on the field knowing that they are working with the [starters]. That's one of the things we've done in the past that shows how you find out about players." In Fitzpatrick, Heinicke and Allen, Rivera feels that he has three quarterbacks he can win with. The same couldn't be said last year. That's why regardless of how it plays out, Rivera is excited to see each QB push one another to get better in camp. "It's going to be a good competition. I look forward to it," Rivera said.“ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm excited for the QB comp. I'm excited to see how this offense looks with someone remotely confident in their abilities. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSkinGM Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 But, but, but ,,, will it be Fair? Will the Q Bs get equal time with the ones ? I hope R R doesn't slant it to Fitz by palying him with the starters and Heiny and Allen with the back up guys . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll have to see. Edited June 11, 2021 by turtle28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offense has a lot of potential and greasy fast speed! 💨 If one of these QBs can step up and be better than average we should repeat as division champs & maybe win a playoff game for the first time in 15 years. I’m excited to see the competition too & to see if our offense improves over last years. It should be improved but I have to see it first.

It can be a competition in spirit but Rivera is starting Fitz unless Heinecke is Tom Brady in practice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivera wants Fitz to be the guy but if one of the other two blow him away they’ll get it. I’m hoping for the later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTTRDynasty Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Coach Kuechly? Very doubtful it'll happen, but that'd be pretty cool if he came on staff as an assistant. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
