Bench: I’m going to keep Will Grier safe

The guy has good measurables, and he's the one that our OC and QB coach wanted. I personally think he looks/dresses like one of those closeted, evangelical youth pastors, but I'm going to reserve judgement on his play until he's had a chance to have some pro coaching. 

He's at least as good as any of the journeymen 2nd string QBs out there, and at a way better price.

Why is quarterback the one position where so many of you don’t seem to care about depth? At any other position, if we were to suffer an injury without an adequate replacement, everyone would chew out the GM for not having good depth.

I get that we’ve been spoiled by having Superman on our team...but we have to accept the realistic possibility that Cam is mortal now. I know instant gratification is cool and all, but being prepared for the future is pretty cool too.

In all seriousness, the bravado from people like OP is really misguided. No need to feel threatened because we finally have a good backup QB. In fact, if you're a Panthers fan, you should be glad we have a rookie with a solid resume under his belt to spell Cam if needed. All kinda depends on if you hope the Panthers lose if Cam gets hurt. Some feel that way, so it makes sense to buck up and take out their frustrations on a kid who looked up to Cam just like many players his age.

The reality is Grier was an extremely smart pick. Cams play in the last half of 2018 was pretty bad and he's injured the same throwing shoulder 2x in 3 seasons. In a best case senario Cam comes back healthy and Grier is just there for emergency. In worst case Cam isn't 100% or not performing up to par then we actually have a decent QB to come in to replace him. 

I'm thinking hes going to get a bunch of playing time this pre season, I doubt they want to risk anything with Cam and Norv probably immediately wants to see what he has in his newly drafted QB.  Kyle Allen/Hieneke showed their stuff last pre season and last game of the season so there is much less incentive to give them much playing time this pre-season. 

Its going to pretty interesting to see how the fans react to it if Grier starts shredding it up in pre season. I could easily see some people start to get restless if Cam doesn't come out strong out of the gate vs the Rams.

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.

Just wait until Cam has a bad game during the regular season....

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.

      I could be waaaaaaay off about Kon. I do fault myself into, to borrow a NFL phrase heavily "RAS" nerd on players, too much. There are PLENTY of athletic freak shows that are playing overseas(or Amazon delivery) cause they never figured out NBA ball. I can easily miss seeing the talent. Plus did he only have 2 dunks on the season??(is that for real??) I didn't watch over a few hours of duke, but not one point did I think "That Kon guy is a top 4 pick in the upcoming draft". IMO I still foresee Ball bringing the ball up, doing his weak isolation game and never even looking for Kon. That's his best trait according to everyone, shooting right? I do not see ball, bridges, miller or even williams making the extra pass to Kon for him to shoot a 3.  Then defense-wise, Im not ready to type the amount of questions I foresee in his ability for guarding NBA SGs or bench SFs for that matter. Not that NBA players care to defend, but still..... I just feel he's a bad fit for the current hornets, trades are taking place tho... Liam to me is a decent comp for Kon and he fell some, but was a 29 overall pick. Still around 13-21 was the good solid range for Liam and I thought the same for Kon. This is just a classic case of I need to see it. It add to this, Kon is like garlic. Ball is like sugar and Miller is like flour. Mix it together and chef Lee is not going to get me to eat that dish..... Honestly I don't know why Im this vocal about Kon. In past years I would be patience and not post and see what the kid has. The other side, insert classic white boy terms here- _____, ______, _______< etc >. Hornets do desperately need them. His crafty back door cuts, his willingness to stay a extra 2 hours to refine lees plays, keep playing with bruised limbs. I heard from many reports he's mentally tough and hornets by all gods need that. God they are such pussys.  I hope Im wrong and if so, I will give Kon his just props.
