Panthers have spent "considerable time" with Will Grier

The Panthers have a former MVP quarterback, but he’s coming off shoulder surgery and only has two years left on his contract.

So it makes sense that they’re looking at options there.

...

They saved a little money (on Grier's visit), since he grew up near Charlotte, but he’s one of several quarterbacks they’ve done their research on (including a visit by Auburn’s Jarrett Stidham).

While they might not be prepared to look for (or admit looking for) a long-term replacement for Cam Newton, they at least need a better grade of backup, as the options on hand are Taylor Heinicke and Kyle Allen.

This place would implode if we took a QB at #47

I think people should think what if Cam's shoulder does the same thing. Are u saying u think we can go to playoffs with Kyle Allen lmao. People are crazy to think what he did against saints makes him the backup. I hope we get Grier he is the sleeper QB of the draft. People need to wake up and understand that Cam might not be ever right again.

If we take a QB earlier than the 4th with needs all over the roster that pretty much confirms there are serious concerns about Cam's shoulder within the Panthers' organization. Based on the past two seasons, that wouldn't necessarily be surprising.

Sorry but Kyle Allen isn't the answer and we can't keep waisting these guys careers. Luke & CMC need a championship.

Spending a 2nd or 3rd on a guy who will never see the field would be the worst decision possible

Unless the team knows something we don’t about Cam’s shoulder situation...

Stidham is interesting.

That completion percentage dropped drastically this year but his TD/INT ratio was almost identical. I'd also say that the drop in his completion percentage could also be due to the fact that Auburn had to be pretty darn close to having the worst drop rate in the NCAA last year, his receivers dropped everything.

The offense he was in this year was pretty basic and boring (similar to the offense that Clausen was in) but he did show the prior year that he has the ability to not only make NFL throws but also cycle through his reads.

I'd prefer Grier but I wouldn't take a QB before the 4th round. Stidham could more than likely be had in the 5th.

Not necessarily, it all depends on the QB and when we take him. If there’s a first round graded QB sitting there in the second round, regardless of Cam’s situation you take him. Pats and Aints among other teams with top QBs have taken QBs high. Now if we take someone like Grier in the second round yeah that’s a reach and is very telling.

    • I literally read this 15 minutes ago, but it sums up my feelings perfectly. FYI, the article was about 3 players on the bubble. The author's opinion seems to be Horn is a lock and Renfrow and Moore are fighting for that last spot. David Moore, WR The Panthers' wide receiver room is crowded. There aren't many available spots, at least from the outside looking in. That raises the stakes considerably for those further down the pecking order fighting for recognition. David Moore is among them. The former seventh-round selection is a trusted ally of Dave Canales from three separate NFL stops. He's a solid if not spectacular player, although he underwhelmed when tasked with significant responsibilities during the previous campaign. Moore is battling it out for the sixth wideout spot alongside Hunter Renfrow, Kobe Hudson, and Jacolby George. It could go either way, but Canales' faith and his ability to impact special teams might be enough to get a reprieve."
    • Until LaMelo is traded, this is an unserious organization anyway. There's an insane lack of talent, and the talent all comes with baggage and injury concerns.  I assume the OP was about passing on Ace...but he's exactly the type of prospect doomed to bust here and compound on to the problems with all of his rumored sketchiness.   
    • Profit sharing among owners. More ‘desirable’ matchups garner more viewership, leads to more revenue generated and more profit for everyone invested. Y’all don’t think there will ever be a Titans vs Panthers SB, do you? lol, yeah right. Tampa vs Jacksonville? Now that’s funny.  Now, do I think there is ‘the man’ who overlords over all of this? Nah, but bias, even among refs, owners and media can, will, does, and always exist when there is $$ involved.  Refs are people too. Probably football fans, and as such, probably have a favorite team and a favorite player ( why would a non-fan ever become a ref). There is no way officiating will be completely impartial when this is the case. Might be an interesting idea (not in a stalker ish way) to see where each ref grew up/lives, then you could see their likely allegiance. What if 2 refs officiated the same game and they both grew up in say SF, Dallas, Philly or New York? Impartial officiating. Nah.     Would you be? Panthers need a FG to advance in the playoffs, it’s third and long with 45 sec left in the game… obvious hold on your Your team’s center? You calling that? Don’t lie, you know you wouldn’t.
