Grier was a Turner decision


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

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

    • He’s been every bit as much of the problem as anyone else. You cant remove him from that fact, he is just as much part of the team and in THE most important position on the field. But this is the first season he’s seen any kind of continuity in his team and coaches. And he’s shown flashes here and there. But we do need more out of him going forward a lot more if we are going to be successful 
    • Bryce isn’t great and super mid. But I think can be a game manager. What do we think is out there? Daniel Jones isn’t going anywher. Mac Jones? Zach Wilson? Pickett. I’m just not sure what’s out there that is much better without having to give up a ton of capital. Rather take one more step closer to contention with our early rounders next year with FS and LB help. Make this  place where dang they got a defense and a WR1 and solid RB room. I can win with that and want to be here 
    • AR15 is if Justin Fields was fragile and his teammates hated him. No thanks. Ya'll think you hate watching Bryce Young? Wait until your QB can't even complete a 7 yard pass over the middle, which Fields and Richardson can't do. If the draft class was better, I could absolutely see the Titans moving on from Ward already if they got the #1 pick. But so far the college QB's haven't impressed enough. They'll have flashes, but then follow it up with a very meh game. Kyler is already done in Arizona, but he has a ridiculous contract and he's basically Bryce that likes to scramble, so no thanks. If Lawrence can't produce with that team in Jacksonville, what do you think he'll do here? He's tall Bryce who can throw deep but can't make the 4th down throws and crumbles in the red zone. No thanks. I do think Canales wants to move on from Bryce, his body language says so even in wins. He treated Bryce pretty odd this week and Bryce looked checked out in the Packers game. But unless they make another risky trade, its going to be slim pickings. Basically our hopes lie in hitting early in the draft with a Mateer, Nussmeier, Beck type or finding a random backup free agent that has another gear to hit.  I think even with the draft being wishy washy, 4-5 QB's will be taken in the top 7. A lot of teams are just that desperate.
