Grier was a Turner decision

Both Turners, apparently.

Around a minute into the video, Grier is talking to OC Norv Turner and thanking him. Norv tells Grier that QB Coach Scott Turner was his primary advocate on the staff and makes it sound like Scott pushed pretty hard for him.

It's interesting however that Grier thanks Norv by saying that he "made it happen". That makes me believe that Norv had given him some indication previously that he was hoping to get Grier on the team. So it isn't all Scott, and realistically it's unlikely that anything like this could happen without Norv's endorsement anyway.

Thus for better or worse, this choice saw it's beginning in the Turner household. It's now up to that same household to make it work.

Yes. The QB coach and OC would naturally be the ones to do this.

 

It’s not uncommon that an OC of Norv’s stature gets a couple of of picks to make as he sees fit. Kind of explains our thinking with that that round’s pick tbh

Man worst thing to happen to cam was getting drafted by this team. Now we know why luck stayed in school. Half the fan base was calling for Derek Anderson to start over him. Never acquired any serious receiving or OL help. Now we spend a 3rd on a backup qb? Meanwhile the colts do everything possible for luck to succeed

Well the next decision is when to pull Cam and play the young guy and thats not an easy one. Once you cross that line its hard to go back.

My philosophy about that hasn't changed.

Barring injury you' never never never sit a starting quarterback down on the bench unless you intend to leave him  there.

What makes it a little complicated with Newton is that in the past, Rivera has tried to sit him for injury reasons and Newton has refused to come out.

Now on the one hand, you admire his tenacity. On the other, it could mean he winds up hurt worse.

The Colts literally almost ended his career a few years ago

Half? Maybe 1/32.....if that and they are just racist idiots.

Lol Luck? That’s the example you want to give? He routinely had the worst o-line in the NFL up until this past season. And we literally didn’t draft a single quarterback during Cam’s entire career here until now. Nevermind drafting KB, Funchess, Samuel, DJ Moore, and Christian McCaffrey all with 1st/2nd round picks in the last 5 drafts. You could argue that we’ve neglected to provide him with a top-tier o-line, but it seems odd to complain about that a few hours after trading up to the top of the 2nd round to get him a LT.

It’s like you’ve been in a coma for 8 years and just woke up in time for last season. That’s the only excuse for using Andrew Luck as a model for how to surround a QB with help.

Perfect response. Basically what I wanted to say just too lazy to write it all out

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.

      Derek Carr Retires

      Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.

      Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
