Will Grier looking better than expected.

I definitely see us keeping three with Allen and Grier battling for 2nd string. Grier will absolutely get better with time and has much more natural talent than Allen. Grier made great strides from mini camp to camp, and I expect that to continue as he becomes more comfortable with the playbook and NFL speed.

If the roles were reversed you can bet your bottom dollar the years long established anti-Cam posters who have been suspiciously very quiet the last week would be here chirping the loudest pushing for Grier.

As it is no one that I can see has shown up to gloat or anything of the sort about Grier looking less than ideal at fan fest like we know some fans would do if Cam missed passes. We've seen it every damn preseason. Do I need to dig up gameday threads?

@Carl Spackler wobble on back in here like Cotton Hill, I'm not done with you.

What the fug are you talking about lol

I'm so tired of everyone saying how great Allen did against damn Taints starters. They was not playing for a damn thing and it wasn't all starting defense. Please shut up about the damn game Allen had against them. It was a damn exhibition game!

It isn't exactly a cakewalk to win in New Orleans, the Panthers should definitely know. If you'll give a rookie quarterback the benefit of the doubt, why would you hold it against Allen for winning his first start? Just because you have an opinion about the circumstances of the game doesn't diminish how he played on the field.

Lol. English is not your forte is it?

Also, do yourself a favor and go look at the snap counts. Their entire D played the first half and we were up 23-0 at half. Sure they weren’t playing for anything but saying he didn’t do well against the starters is just plain wrong or saying that the Saints starters weren’t trying to tackle or break up passes while they were playing is ridiculous. The main reason the game wasn’t competitive was that chasm between Brees and Bridgewater is bigger than the Grand Canyon.

Yeah 23-0 against a team that doesn't care. Ur one of the many that doesn't get it.

He threw five passes all night and completed three.

Both of them were throwing against a collapsing pocket. Allen’s two best throws were on plays that absolutely would’ve been sacks were they live in-game. He held onto the ball for five seconds before rolling out and hitting his man. 

To be fair.  That’s the issue with saw with him last night.  Only 5 passes.  And 4 scrambles because he is having processing Issues.  It will all calm down for him at some point. But it looks like he reads his first receiver then tucks and runs.

When @TheRed doesn’t have people to argue with, he just argues with people who agree with him lol. Hope you aren’t like this at home. It’d be miserable. 

 

Is it that difficult for you to simply admit you were wrong about your false claim that I am "rooting" for Grier to suck?

No because when examining everything else you’ve said in this thread, it’s either pro-Cam or “hope Grier isn’t David Carr.” High praise indeed. I noticed when he was being complimented in here, for someone who likes him you sure had an interesting way of showing it. That was all. The Cotton Hill thing was good though.

      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.
