Will Grier looking better than expected.

So Will Grier is looking better than anyone expected at this point. Spoke to a guy inside the org that said he is doing things they did not expect of him this early in camp. 

The nice thing is that he is the same type of passer that Cam is. Really nice tough on the deep balls, perfect for Norv's system. Would not do so well in a west coast style offense. 

Can't wait to see what the kid has in preseason.

Said it from the beginning, I thought Grier in the 3rd would be the steal of the draft.  I can foresee him paying off big time for us in the form of either

 

A - Taking over in the event of disaster with Cam's shoulder

B - Smoking defenses in the preseason and building his trade value

I have a feeling Grier was a "bang the table" type of guy for Norv or he wouldn't have been in consideration. Also being from Charlotte had to make him a slam dunk pick. Made too much sense and I'm glad he's doing well so far.

Depends on when you think that day will come.  Why hold onto a guy for potentially 8 years who is obviously destined to be a starter?  You're crazy if you think he's going to be willing to ride the pine past his initial rookie contract.

No way are we trading him if he is actually good. This could play out like Farve/Rogers situation.  Cam is a HOFer no two ways about it, and he had taken so many hits that it is uncertain how many years he has left.  

Good problems to have if Grier does pan out to be legit.

I'd take a Favre/Rodgers situation or a Brady/Garoppolo situation.  Both benefit the Panthers in either a legit starting QB when Cam is done OR Cam plays much longer than anyone expects him to (and plays well) and then we cash in on trade assets.  I'm good with it.

Because if Cam doesn't look washed when Grier's rookie deal is coming up then he's going to walk for nothing.

Grier trade talk should probably wait about 3 years... no reason to trade him before then.

      I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.
