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?

    • Just going off the draft sims and he's always sitting around 20 lol. First year in a while where we haven't been thinking about the draft already in late October so haven't really looked into the top 15-20 picks yet. Also the qb class is super weak so he probably will sneak up into 10-15
    • I fully expect them to pick up his 5th year , and they're waiting for him to put a full excellent consistent season of QB play in year 4 or 5. If that don't happen,  they'll eventually cut ties.  Here's to hoping he just goes on a team in 2026. The worst thing he could do is continue to see-saw us to around .500 records because it might be impossible to replace him at that point unless youre willing to do the veteran qb carousel poo we did from 2019 to 2023.   
    • What do you think of Bryce Youngs career thus far? Are you excited about his progress or is it not enough for you? I included a poll of ranking his performance through 3 years thus far.  I personally think he's made some decent progress. Has had some high moments (last half of 2024, Rams game, ATL game in 2025)  but in my mind, those are still outweighed by the many more lowlights thus far (ex turnovers, missed throws, poor decisions)  It's a very mixed bag for me. He's done enough to get a 5th year option but by no means should we lock him in with a 50+ mil a year multi year deal. I want to see him play consistently well for a full year before that happens (yes, I'm still saying that going into year 4. That might be telling).  Just sucks when you see CJ Stroud, Jayden Daniel's, Caleb Williams almost immediately lighting poo up with their arm talent. Maybe Bryce is just an ultra slow burn. I don't know what to think anymore. Guess we're gonna be stuck with him for a whilr unless we end up being bad enough to earn a high pick next year. I doubted it lol. Overall Stats for his career:       ● 14 W - 30L (regular season)       ● 0-1 playoffs record        ● 61.4% completion, 8291 passing yards, 49 TDs, 30 INTs  Year 1:       ● 2 wins, 14 losses      ● 60% completion rate, 2877 passing yards, 11 TD to 10 INTs, 5.5 yards per attempted pass Year 2:        ● 4 wins , 8 losses        ● 60.9% completion rate,  2403 passing yards, 15 TD, 9 INTs,  6.3 yards per attempted pass  Year 3:        ● 8 Wins, 8 Losses         ● 63.6% competition rate, 3011 passing yards, 23 TDs to 11 INTs  Playoffs         ● 1 game in year 3 ( 0 - 1 in playoffs)         ● 21/40 (52.5% completion rate), 264 passing yards, 1 TD, 1 INT.
