TAMPA — In the right circumstance, any free-agent quarterback can be a star.
Of course, that circumstance might involve playing with the St. Louis BattleHawks of the XFL, so let’s not get too excited about, oh, Taylor Heinicke’s intangibles.

We will analyze Mason Rudolph’s game tapes, we will recite Cooper Rush’s combine scores, we will recall Case Keenum’s brush with competence back in 2017.
