Grier was a Turner decision

Good or Bad player I think this is a bad pick.  The only way Grier sees the field in the next four years is if Newton gets hurt.

You realize that's a very real possibility, right?

And Newton is only under contract for two more years. It's not guaranteed we re-sign him.

Scott doesn’t have enough clout to allow him to make some decisions, yet.

He does if his dad agrees.

Interesting, kinda what i was saying with Matsko on Greg Little, Norv is a QB whisperer, and if he likes him then might actually turn out to be something more than I thought.  We shall see.

Must be a great day for the Grier family...getting drafted by his hometown team.  I think the Turners will be good for him.  This team needed to set themselves up to not be in the position that 1 injury dooms the season.  This could be the move.  Plus, if Grier works out..Panthers are not held hostage by Cam's agent in 2 years.  I hope Cam retires a Panther, but the team needs to be in a position of strength..not desperation.

You'd rather play in Philly, where you get booed on draft day and the fans are after your head for 1 bad game? Or Tampa, Jacksonville, the Jets  or Oakland where they have no ability to develop a QB and you'll be out the door in 2 years? Or New York where the determining factor about who's going to protect you is if he earned the Hog Molly stamp of approval from a guy who tucks his tits into his waistband while he trades away your best receiver?

You make it sound like we haven't hopped from one multi-year starter to another for the last 15 years. With 1 brief Clauseny intermission. 

Don't forget the cowboys also where Jerry show his players where they can go to score some weed, or coke.

No one but Cam knows how his shoulder will hold up this season .  If he crashes we have a backup plan ion place.  If Cam lights it up this year he will be in for a huge payday .  He may stay or he may leave . We have a plan for in either case .Hope he has a great season.   Don''t hate Hurney for the Pick .

So you agree with what I said.

It's what I believe, but if I'm being completely honest, we don't know.

We do know Norv wants Scott to succeed him, so I expect him to endorse Scott on most things.

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 

Lolwut?

I'm not going to argue with Turner on QBs. He's drafted and coached some great ones.

A third round players should be a starter within a year or so.

That's actually completely untrue.  Last year, of our 22 starters, only one was drafted in rounds 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7 (Trai Turner).  Seventeen starters were drafted in rounds 1 & 2, and all the rest were UDFA's.

A good backup but we could have used it on someone else that could play more often. 

That said, he's a Panther and I will support him and our team.

Yeah and Newton couldn't even make it through half the season last year.

Well it's not like these people are smart enough to disguise it. Certainly nobody without an ulterior motive could make argument for starting Anderson over Newton. 

There were Pats fans suggesting Hoyer, Jimmy G, Cassell, etc. over Brady at times. Fans can be really stupid when things aren’t going so well.
