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 originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
