I haven't understood the frustration of this pick. It makes total sense. I love cam to death, but being in insurance myself I don't see the problem with risk management. Cam hasn't been full strength in a couple seasons and it cost him significant time this year. If he's healthy great, we have our MVP back. If not, we got Grier. Who seems like he has the ability to win some games. Preseason will tell all though and that's why I watch it.

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.

We’re not the Eagles, if our QB#1 goes down we should be tanking and restocking on cheap rookies that outperform their contracts. Pretty much every superbowl team is running on star players on rookie contracts.

Lol the Eagles weren’t the Eagles either until Wentz got injured and Foles came in and played his ass off out of nowhere. You could definitely argue Foles was a solid backup, but you’re kidding yourself if you think the Eagles weren’t panicking when Wentz got injured at the end of the 2017 season. The goal is to field a team that doesn’t revolve around one player...if Cam goes down, we have to have someone who we feel could step in and win us some games.

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

No I'm saying people will hype up a new player until they make a mistake and they will jump off the hype machine. Not saying he is going to stink I am saying people are fickle.

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

Who said they wanted him to fail?

I haven't seen anyone call for Grier to start except a handful of loonies on Twitter.

Yet I've seen a ton of people going overboard with the claims that there is a mass Exodus of people wanting Grier to start.

We have a really good prospect for the backup QB spot for the first time in years. Can we just agree to that and stop fighting over something that doesn't exist because it makes you feel good about yourself?

Just spent 30 minutes reading this thread on a slow Friday at work. Real page turner.
