Would the Eagles trade for one of the Panthers backup QBs?

Doubt it.

Havnt kept up with their camp.  But our staff was HIGH on Clayton Thorson coming out this year.  And was thought if we didnt land Grier, he wouldve the mid round QB we would target.

Its preseason so there will be cuts here in 2 weeks where they can pick someone up.

Not going to happen.  Thats one team that definitely wont.

Remember last year, one of their big names on D/leaders craping on Reid about the whole Kaep/Reid vs players association.

This is the same team that traded for Michael Bennett and signed Michael Vick. I wouldn’t put it past them.

As a back-up? Would you want that noise on the Panthers? He turned down more money from the Seahawks to be a back-up than he got out of his settlement. You have to tailor fit an offense for him and you want a cerebral guy, usually, holding the clipboard. Not sure of Kaep's knowledge of the game (sure it far exceeds my own), but no team other than the Ravens have an offense where Kaep could be plug and play.

Can I answer this after tonight’s game?   If Grier still looks like a deer I headlights I say no.  

They aren’t going to trade for Heinicke.  

And Allen might be valuable to us if Grier needs a redshirt year.  

Tonight will tell.  But my gut says that Grier needs a year for the game to slow down.  He has processing issues so far and tucks and runs after first read.

Panthers are 4 QBs deep and at least one is not making the roster. All have the ability to be a decent backup. Think the Eagles might be interested in a trade?

What has any QB on the roster not named Cam done to be worth a trade? Plenty of FA QBs just as good as what we have on the roster.

This.

i would consider it more likely that a team like Miami “flips” Josh Rosen or something for a better pick than they traded.

I guess there could always be that one team but in reality nobody gonna trade for one of our scrubs.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
