People are angry they kept Grier over Heinicke?

If any of these quarterbacks see the field, the season is pretty much over. At least for this season.

That is true for just about any team in the league.  In order to win with a backup qb, you have to get Nick Foles lucky, or have a dominant defense with a good run game and a backup that doesn't turn the ball over.  I doubt any of these guys would be able to do what Foles did.  Having a dominant defense and good run game is slightly possible, and Allen hasn't turned the ball over, at least not in the small sample size we have seen.

Grier played like how you used to expect a rookie QB would. That's why they'd generally spend a season or two on the bench, like Aaron Rodgers did behind Favre or Brady did behind Bledsoe or Mahomes behind Smith. Seasoning. 

Keeping Grier was a no brainer, but I would have rather seen Heinicke kept over Allen.

Even Heineke over Allen seems to be a silly thing to be upset about. Last year when Heineke started and looked bad and Allen came in and actually played decent, everyone was clamoring about how Allen was so much better and they were going to riot if Ron tried to play Heineke again against New Orleans (before he was officially ruled out).

After Heineke puts up some decent stats against defenses made up 90% of people cut today, we should be upset that he's gone? I'm sure he's a nice guy and I hope he gets a chance with Indy but the Panthers did not lose anything by cutting him today.

Also neither Allen nor Heinicke would win games. Allen has more potential to be a legit QB. Why would you not keep the guy with more upside when the results of them playing this season would be the same?

    • There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring. 
    • I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
