So, let’s stop calling a comparison to Colt McCoy, who until January 2020, ANY sane persons would have considered comparing Heinicke to him to be a GREAT compliment, a slap in the face to TH.

Lets’s also “try” to deal in facts here

UNTIL TH proves it, he’s just another WFT QB

Agents will steer the best prospects toward the all-star game with the NFL seal of approval and built-in television promotions. There won't be any Shrine-vs-Senior head-to-head situation, folks. It would be a devastating rout.

So the Shrine Game is *not* the same week as the Senior Bowl.

Shrine is operating Thursday to Thursday
