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.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
