I've seen enough of Grier

[Bronn]

It's kinda hard to play QB good when you've got DL practically kissing you within 5 seconds at least half the time.

That said, he's every bit as raw as I'd expect. I also don't really care for the attitude he's shown, nor the lack of effort I see in him.

[Jeremy Igo]

I thought he played pretty well

[Neylus]

Ditto. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen a TD pass like Grier threw. Felt good. If he gets time he’s got nice touch. He definitely got the rookie slow reads but that comes with experience.

This game showed me he has the arm of an NFL quarterback, but he’s not yet there mentally. He needs to improve in reading the field and decision-making. Those are coachable and come with experience...he just needs a year or two of development.

 

Rivera said a week or so ago it's tough to compare Grier to other rookie QBs because you need about 5,000 reps to really get an offense, and Grier has about half that because he's been splitting reps. I saw at least one former QB say this was a spot on statement.

I've been critical of Grier this preseason. 

I actually thought I saw some improvement week over week last night. He was looking to make plays downfield, he saw the field better in general. 

He still didn't look great by any stretch of the imagination but it was encouraging to see some improvement.

I get people being upset over the interception but it looked like the WR clearly ran the wrong route. You turn that into an incompletion instead of INT and his passer rating is likely the best we had of any QB all preseason. I don't understand why more people aren't upset with Allen doing absolutely squat diddly with our 1s. At this point  I would move him down the list, keep Grier 3 and move Taylor to the #2 spot.

I thought the same thing on that route. Looked like Grier thought he was suppose to come back to the ball. Hitch route. And I’m not trying to defend will. He made some pretty good throws yesterday but has looked like garbage overall. He needs time. And that’s ok.

quality.

You obviously can't totally absolve him for the negative plays, but that touchdown throw was big time for a rookie. We could do a lot worse in terms of backup quarterbacks.

Now we need to develop this offensive line.

I'm less concerned about the INT itself than I am about the dying duck that preceded it.

(You'll have to actually go to YouTube to see the clip, but I got it cued up to the 3:37 time stamp.)

 

But what was that throw? I had to go back three times to see if somehow it was tipped at the line. But no, that just looks like a wobbly, errant pass to me. This is a guy who was supposed to have the strongest arm in the draft (if you ask some of the Huddle GMs) but that looked like a frickin' Kyle-Orton-ass pass. That thing hit the DB's chest sideways!

I'm not ready to give up on Grier yet. I was pulling for him pretty hard. But at this point, after what I've seen out of him this preseason, I'll be bummed if we have to cut Heineke to make room for him.

Im not gonna give an opinion simply because regardless we are stuck with his ass.

Lmaooooo....yeah it did look like a middle school throw

Might have hesitated and pulled back last-second when he realized his receiver wasn’t coming back to the ball. Didn’t look that wobbly to me though...I think we’re just used to Cam’s bullets lol.
