Grier's performance

I'm talking in comparison to Grier since those are our only 2 options. Are you trying to imply Grier is a better option? Allen checked the ball down a lot in his last start against Seattle, but prior to that game he completed a good number of passes down field. DJ Moore is 5th in the league for receiving yards.  Allen's turnovers have been his undoing. 

I totally disagree.. I saw Grier attempt more deep passes in that game then Allen did in 3.  Allen got some YAC yards added on his total..

ron's job was on the line, you best believe if he thought grier had anything he woulda played him sooner.  its ok.  we're starting fresh with a possibly healthy qb, or over.

Ron job was on the line and he made the decision to make a 1 season switch to a different defensive scheme to save it... So let's not put great credit to Ron's decision making when he's desperate... 

Another example Fox stayed with Jake to long when it was clear he was hurt and Waited to late to put Matt Moore in.. Missing the playoffs by 1 game...

I don't see what anyone sees in Grier at this point. There's a reason they pretty much refused to play him. The dude is a 24 year old rookie and has shown absolutely nothing to make me think he can be an NFL QB. He's looked like a bum in camp, preseason, and now the regular season too. 

 

His pocket awareness was better than Allen and he showed a stronger arm and a willingness to go down field... You can build on that..

He didn't complete any of those deep passes, though. He definitely had alot of YAC yards himself with all the check down passes to CMC. Grier threw for only 224 years. Allen threw for more yards in every game except against the 49ers. Neither one of these guys are very good, obviously, but I believe Allen is the better option out of the 2 at this point. I know we are getting smoked on Sunday, but I'd still like to see us have a little bit of success on offense. I'll be pulling for Grier to do well, though, like I do for every player who wears the Panthers uniform.

Ok, if you cherry pick certain games, sure, but even as recently as Week 14 Allen attempted 7 passes >20 yards.  Grier had 6 last week.  Allen had 5 in Week 13 and Week 15 too.  Yes, Grier attempted more 40 yard bombs, but he also didn't complete a single one.  Neither appear to be competent in their deep game, and at least Allen is quite good at throws in intermediate range.

Grier *struggled* beyond 10 yards.  He was 3/15 with 3 INTs beyond 10 yards.  No completions > 18 yards.  Of Grier's 224 yards, 171 came on YAC.  But he didn't have Moore, who is a HUGE portion of our air yardage.

Even Allen was at least hitting 15-20 yard completions regularly in every game, right until the end.  And 'only' about 50% of Allen's ~3k yards this season came from YAC.  That isn't a bad number, and by no means indicates he's only tossing checkdowns. But Allen struggled mightily beyond 20 yards, particularly targeting anyone not named DJ Moore.

Do what? Are we watching the same games? He barely throws past the line of scrimmage most of the time. You could count on one hand how many successful deep passes we've had the last several weeks.

Allen regularly throws past the line of scrimmage, but he is definitely awful with the deep ball, lol.  Unless our standard of deep ball has become 10 yards.  In which case, Allen at least excels there, even if Grier struggles.  Hopefully this week is different.

(fyi, Kyle Allen's average intended air yards is 8.2 which is nearly identical to Aaron Rodgers,  Matt Ryan, and many other decent QBs, but maaaan does he struggle beyond ~20 yards)

I guess we can argue details, but you can't negate what you are seeing with your own two eyes. Back in November I saw noodle arm Matt Ryan slinging the ball downfield in the Panthers house with ease while we could barely string together a drive let alone complete passes deep. We proceeded to get our asses kicked all afternoon. That's just putrid.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
