Grier needs allens reps. Thats all there is to it. Higher ceiling and a playmaker.

Ron has all but said Allen is the #2, so why would we take reps away from the #2 to give to the #3?  Time has ran out for Grier to move up the depth chart based on merit this season.  He needs to make a better case for himself next year.  This year, we need Allen to be the best player he can be...and yes, take as many reps as possible.

Well offer of reasonable options to improve the QB position before you start criticizing. 

I care more that the backup QB is someone that will support the starter and make him feel confident and comfortable. 

If Cam goes down mid season and we are having a great year, then go trade for someone that can keep the team in the playoff picture.

We used a 3rd round pick on a QB. He made the bed now he has to lay on it

Yup, knowing Grier would be on the sideline all year and still selected him with plenty of solid RBs and safeties still on the board.  Not the best use of a draft pick.  Also we had Allen and Heinicke already in the fold.  That meant four QBs in camp and someone having to get cut.   I would have rather kept Hienicke and used that draft pick on a player that will actually play on Sundays this season.

Good money is the opposite of “no” money 

Then in my vocabulary it wouldn't be good or bad money but rather no money and some money. Actually the saying throwing good money after bad always was explained to me as initially wasting money on a bad purchase like a car that doesn't run for example and then spending more to fix it rather than cutting your losses.

OK so if you think the offensive line is doing well, what's keeping us from playing well in games? 

It is the preseason and we are shuffling different combinations every series so obviously chemistry is not there which is the reason our blitz pickups were not good. Let's see how they do against the Rams and Tampa. Then we can at least have something to talk about

    • Bryce and Dave will determine how many games this team wins next year. It’s not on the WRs. The RBs. LBs. This is about 2 things: 1. Can Bryce continue to come up big in the few key downs that decide most games?  2. Can Canales evolve his play calling to counter punch like the big boys do. Half time adjustments.  teams that score 30+ points on the regular win more games than not. That’s on Bryce and Dave. The offense is top 10 at every position group, save for TE and QB. A baller TE is gravy but not crucial when the receivers are dudes.  The defense is the defense. It’ll be better this season, hopefully by a large margin, but Dave/Bryce is really where it’s at. 
    • Normally I'd wholeheartedly agree with this. But I feel like teams figured out this offense after the Raiders game. Bryce was so inept the first 2 games that we couldn't really even run the offense. Dalton's first game showed what we had. But after that game, coverages got a lot tighter and windows were smaller. When Bryce came back in, his ability to extend plays made a big difference. It's really difficult to stop a QB that can beat/escape 1on1 tacklers. It puts a lot of pressure on the defense when you blitz. And he was completing throws in tight coverage with anticipation. Point being Bryce wasn't throwing to wide open receivers that were schemed open by the offense. Occasionally yes. But not often. 
    • With the additions we've made to our roster combined with the state of the division and the conference as a whole there is no excuse for this team not to make a legitimate push for 8-9 wins. Anything less is honestly inexcusable. There will be no more free passes for being a doormat in this iteration of the league where even mediocre teams are competing for playoff spots.
