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

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
