"Wish we would have given him a little more time there to operate, but I was pleased with his performance. He's a competitor. Competitors are welcome here at the Los Angeles Chargers." - Jim Harbaugh
"He was inactive for the first two games while still getting up to speed. Then Heinicke started taking the majority of practice reps by the end of last week when Herbert was limited in training, helping him comfortably lead the offense despite the mid-game injury."
"The system was so complicated that he struggled to even say a play out loud at first. But Heinicke caught up by burying his head in the playbook for three weeks."
"Although Harbaugh immediately dismisses any 'what if' questions, Heinicke has had to live in the hypothetical for a decade. The longtime backup has made a career out of preparing just in case and is prepared to do it again as Herbert monitors the high ankle sprain."
