Bench: I’m going to keep Will Grier safe

That's always going to happen with every team. The backup QB is gonna be popular. Has no bearing on the starter. Picking a backup QB with what's essentially an early fourth-round pick is not stupid when the only other QBs are unproven UDFAs who didn't survive an entire game, let alone a season.

my thoughts exactly

No, the issue is going to be having to deal with the misguided inbred idiot fanbase that was already wanting to bench Cam for Henicke, DA, etc.

How exactly would that be Grier's fault?

Fans being dumb is no justification to dump on a player who just wants to come in and contribute.

one could postulate that the turner's actually hate will grier with a passion.  one could connect the dots if one wanted to. we all know what happens to non-supermen behind this line.

All the talk will be over when Will throws 4 INTs during preseason...

And you would consider this a good thing for the Panthers?

A lot of people on here want him to fail. Makes me want him to succeed more. Exactly like 2011.

I’m not dumping on Grier. I’m dumping on Hurney for using a 3rd rounder on a backup.

Our 3rd rounder last year was a safety.

He's a backup

I've already read three different people say some derivative of

"I'm not dissing Grier, I just hope he fails, he completely sucks and we lose every game if he has to play. Nothing against him tho"

[PanthersBigD]

Cam loves to compete. Having a decent backup is a good thing, and even though the reality is that he wasn't drafted to replace Cam, the insinuation of that from the media and fans will only motivate Cam even more. I hope he has his best season yet, and that he mentors Will Grier in whatever way he's able to off the field.

Grier fanboys are officially triggered.

it was a joke folks relax. He’ll never see the field if all goes as planned.

thanks for another excellent 3rd rounder Hurney!
