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

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.

      Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
