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.

    • I think at some point you top out what God gave you.  He can use leverage via his mechanics to maximize what he has and When he pays attention to it the throws are better.    IMO as a layman a lot of it is what kind of ‘headroom’ you have. The guys who are gifted don’t have to use maximum effort to get good results and stay within themselves but they have it in reserve. They can do an arm throw for substantial distance without max effort.    I think what we may be seeing with these ‘lasers’ is a throw that Bryce puts the max effort into and does his mechanics right and has his base right and it works together.    To get to the payoff here, I think his best velocity throws take dall that whereas  a naturally gifted guy doesn’t need to go full effort to get that same velocity. I have said this three or four times over the years and it never gets picked up on but the accuracy is more consistent with an easier motion and max effort can produce less predictable location. It is a baseball pitcher thing but it applies to throwing a pass too. It isn’t that you can’t make an accurate throw with full effort it is just not as reliably accurate to the same degree. Someone said something about his pro day and that is where I saw it too. He took a little extra step on the deep throws. Some call it a hitch but I don’t see it that way because I don’t see it on shorter throws. He does it trying to get distance. I saw that and just wanted no part of it at 1.1 . That is not tne characteristic of a 1.1 passer.  He should have been at best, late first  I had him second day. Of course I am no one and certainly not a pro evaluator, it is just that he WS so easy to suss out. They must have thought they could fix him. Changing a lifelong throwing motion with the footwork tied into it is not fuging easy. Anyone that had decent success with ‘their’ way and tried to change it to get more, can tell you that.     
    • Sounds like a tad bit of what Josh Allen had. He would make throws that made zero sense die to his desire to make a make. Bryce also turns the ball over believing their is an unlimited shot clock in those moments. Sometimes the best play is to reset for the next one. 
    • See, I think one of his biggest issues is he bails too early.  His instinct has been to bail as soon as defenders get behind him and the pocket starts to close in. Taller QBs hang in there for that extra second or two and throw over guys as the pocket collapses in the QBs lap.  BY runs as soon as this starts to happen, which means routes don’t have time to develop and the field gets cut in half as soon as he runs. This last game I saw some signs of him being willing to hang in the pocket when the defense gets behind him, but that has been rare.
