Read a theory that he's great at identifying Defensive talent because that's what he was constantly looking at as a QB - Reading defenses and scheming against them, being aware of their weaknesses, etc. Makes sense if you think of it that way. He might know how to be a successful, NFL QB, but doesn't really notice the little things in QB prospects because he never had to identify it from the outside. 

From what I can tell, he likes big mobile guys with big arms. Though those guys are far short on development and haven't shown an ability to develop in any way. I think Lock could've worked Year 1 in Kliff's offense but he's going to take 3 years, at least, to get to the point of starting on a Vic Fangio team. 

I'd say he's most likely going to be on the Jake Delhomme development path of backing up, backing up, and more backing up. If there was NFL Europa, I'd send him there. Dude just looks like he belongs on a Practice Squad. If he ends up starting, they could have the best defense and worst offense in the league.

Jones now 25-for-30 w/ 0 INT's....

....still liking Grier more than Jones?

He said he gets the Grier over Jones ranking. I’m sure pre draft lots of people weren’t sure about Jones. That being said, Jones has gotten the opportunity to run with the ones and the twos. Grier goes out there with the threes. On top of that, none of our offensive lines in the preseason have protected our QBs. I’m not even a Grier fan but it would be nice to see him get to run with our top preseason team like Allen and see Allen run with the squad Grier normally gets. All in all, I don’t put stock into preseason. The Blake Bortles and Nathan Petermans of the world tend to look good in games that don’t matter.

I'm all for seeing Grier succeed.....super high quality kid.

That said, clearly Grier over Jones is a flawed position and had Jones still been available in Rnd 3 but Grier was taken, that would have been a mistake.

"Speaking of long-held affections, the Panthers’ love for local kid Will Grier was well-documented. How much did they love him? I’m told he was the third-ranked quarterback on Carolina’s board, behind only Lock and Haskins."

That explains so much

Stidham looked great

      He’s kind of overrated to be honest. Never really felt like a true #1 or elevated his play to become a guy the defense really has to worry about.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
