Especially when the backups don't play with 2 major part of the offense..

...i look at the intangibles they bring to the table...do you sell the play or do you take the snap and then start staring down your receiver immediately ...they straight raw sht.. can they improve..yea..hope so...Greir has scored more points for the opposition than for his team i think...

There are 2 preseason games left.  One of these guys need to find the balls to make something happen.  

I still don’t get the hate on Grier more so than Allen.  

Allen looked just as putrid.  And the game should be so fast for him right now.

Tyrod Taylor was a FA and we chose not to even pursue despite knowing Cam's shoulder would be a huge question moving forward.

He's a 3rd round QB. It's not like it wasn't a 50/50 shot. Still writing a player off after two pre season games when they were drafted day 2 is ignorant. 

Yet here we are pushing page 5.   Overreacting is what we do well tho.

...just cash in the season if any of these dudes have to play...

I’d rather have Joe Webb back. 

Yes, Joe, he knows what he's doing, a real pro.

And there is Cardell Jones who likely would be available for a trade, he played well Sunday but his teammate Hill beat him out for Chargers #2 today with special play and speed. Don't shoot him down so quickly, he's matured.

We keep looking for one until they find one.

It’s not a reach to say they aren’t good lol

It would be accurate to say that they didn't perform well with their limited time in 1 game. 

Your statement is completely wrong.

And last Wednesday the same people on the huddle were talking about what teams would trade use because our backup qb’s were so good.

the one thing you can always depend on....and that is the fact that the huddle will over react to the nth degree after each game.  We go from SB favorites..to terrible...and back to SB favorites from week to week in here.

it is comedy gold.

Just wait until game 3.  Cam will come out, slightly rusty.  Won't do bad, just average.  And then Allen/Grier (pick one) will have the game of their lives.  It will suddenly be time to move on from Cam!

Except I didn’t say those things. 

They are who I thought they were!!

You install Heinicke in as QB2 for preseason game 3 and see if that lights a fire under the other two back-up candidates. If Allen ups his game, he probably beats out Heinicke for a spot. If Grier really rises to the occasion then he is our QB2 going into the season, #3 if Allen has another bad game. Because of draft position, Grier will take one of the QB spots ... we aren't throwing him away early and he'd never stay if we put him to the practice squad.

The only real question is Heinicke or Allen. There's no way we're going into the season with just Cam and Grier, so one of them is the guy, the other is wished good luck, given an apple and a bus ticket home. 

All three of those guys deserve to be behind the starting O-line and that should mean keeping the starters in for the whole game there. After the horrible protection last week, those guys need the work.

my statement is correct. 

Thanks pantherclaw for your insight
