They made a really good point towards the end of the video. Basically stating that if Grier doesn't have a decent game that shows he can maybe develop into something, he may very well not be in the roster next year. 

To that, really two games isn't enough to see what he's got. I agree with most of what they said, he did look uncomfortable and apparently had 52 drop backs. That's insane for a rookie that you're trying to ease in. Then DJ moore going down definitely didn't help and well the O-line losing a lot of the battles, the special teams not stopping Hines and having to work from behind. No I am not making excuses for the kid, just a lot things stacked against him and him being very uncomfortable in there. First game jitters I suppose. Still, small sample size. We'll see what happens this Sunday. 

 

We'll see what he does come Sunday.

He may not make the final roster next season, but he is definitely going to camp with the team.

edit: I do think he'll be on the roster next season, but a lot depends on the new coach, what they do with Cam, what we pick up in the draft and FA etc.  Allen and Grier could both be on another team next year.

He played one game, and he is on the worst team in the NFL.  And yes, we are currently the worst team in the league.  

Currently the standings say there are at least 7 worse teams by record. Are we going by your personal subjective feelings or the objective measures of record/point differential that most people use?

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.

      Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.
