Tony Pauline: Panthers infatuated with Will Grier, will consider him at #47

Will Grier/QB/West Virginia: In all honesty, I’m late to the party on Grier despite listing him as a Riser in week five. I was informed that he was rising up draft boards weeks ago and struggled to believe it, but as they say, where there’s smoke, there’s fire. So where could Grier land? As early as the late part of Round 1 and no later than the middle portion of the second frame. Who could draft the Mountaineers quarterback? The New England Patriots have shown a ton of interest in Grier and could draft him as the first round closes out. The New York Giants also like Grier, and he could be their fallback plan if they don’t take a signal caller in Round 1. The Carolina Panthers also have an infatuation with Grier and will consider him in the second round. As we mentioned last week during The Draft Analysts podcast, Carolina is looking to add a quarterback during the second day of the draft.

I don't see why we would take a QB in round 2. Unless the FO have no faith in Cam returning to his old self. Otherwise this would be a wasted pick. If Cam is done they better be certain Grier can be that franchise QB, otherwise we will be looking for another QB in round 1 next year.

You don't waste a 2nd round pick without knowing the future of Cam. I don't buy we are seriously thinking about picking him in round 2.

Imagine taking a QB in the second with all the holes on the team. Grier is no better than what Allen would be. All this is stupid 

Backup quarterback is one of those holes. And given that they're not absolutely certain Newton can finish a full season, it's reasonable to give it a hard look.

As to Allen, please :eyeroll:

The guy played one game which was basically under preseason conditions. The only thing he earned was the right to compete for a job. It's not even absolutely guaranteed he'll even make the team.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      It’s not new. That particular claim has largely disappeared because it has become untenable, but a few games into his rookie year when the playbook/gameplan/personnel/everything was terrible there was endless claims, posts, even threads made that Bryce Young was physically incapable of throwing the ball 20 yards downfield in the NFL. It was also argued that physically throwing the ball 20 yards in the NFL was somehow different than college. Once he threw the ball 20 yards, the goal posts moved to 30 yards, etc. I’m not going to use the search function for you, the point wasn’t as much that one claim as it was that that was one claim out of many that has made it very difficult to have a reasonable discussion here.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By CRA · Posted

      I mean, I can get a ball downfield 40 yards.  There would be a couple massive issues with me doing it.   My ball placement would be off the charts bad.  Second, for me to get it 40 yards I'm gonna have to moon it......which would give DBs the opportunity to make plays on balls that wouldn't exist if a better QB were throwing it.  Which is all an exaggerated explanation of the Bryce issue.  To many play the literal game w/ Bryce when it comes defending him.  Every NFL QB likely can loft one up around 50 yards.  Every QB in the NFL can't get a ball 30 yards downfield in the same windows.  Or the same ball placement.  That's the Bryce issue.    But I also think mixed into that is just his QB DNA.    Take a young Brees, it was in his DNA to stress defenses and takes shots.  He would flat out be Delhomme-ish at times.  Which is coverage and assignment altering.  Brees would throw balls into triple coverage 40 yards downfield.  Is that smart? Sometimes it is.  Not because the play gets made but you force the secondary to play honest.
