Rhule- “Will Grier as pro-ready as anyone I’ve ever seen”

Oh mer gawd; analysts and anonymous scouts thought he was too!  And he built off his huge senior year with an impressive pro-day.  It's almost as if he showed promise so people hyped him up! Go figure!

West Virginia

Perhaps the biggest surprise of the week was the super-positive reports coming out of the West Virginia pro day, where quarterback Will Grier was very impressive according to evaluators who attended.

Grier dominated with middle-of-the-field accuracy, touch and timing. That's his game, and it'll look good when he's not pressured. The question is how he'll handle interior pressure and tighter coverage outside the Big 12. But there is a lot to like about his game, including experience that could put him on the field early in his career.

Grier had dinner with coaches from the Redskins the night before the workout, according to NFL Network's Aditi Kinkhabwala, which is good news for him, as the quarterback-needy Washington front office could go all-in on an accurate middle-of-the-field passer like Grier.

It's almost as if there was a reason people were talking like this about him at the time!

And yes, he looked like as$ for us but c'mon people, this is really stretching it in finding a reason to get miffed about the hire.  There is so much that goes into being a head coach and you know what? It as no bearing on anything moving forward other than creating a weird sense of unease about his quick off the cuff evaluation of one player during a pre-draft buildup.  Good god.

Hey you might be right. Look at the Broncos and Eagles after their disasters...

Or he could be talking out of his ass about a man he did not know yesterday. What is motivating him to spend the day discrediting Ruhle?  What kind of fan does that?  Just state your uninformed opinion  and move on.  Not enough for this guy--trying to convince everyone that he is right.  Jeez.

But telling the whole story would discredit the purpose. 

Grier was in the conference (Big 12).  He is very smart.  A compliment to an opponent in college--

At Carolina, I question the OL (we all do) and the coaching.  It was not good.  Allen got worse.  Grier was not ready.  Cam sucked for the past 2 years.  (I know--injured--but there is more to it than that).

This staff was TERRIBLE---they quit. Special teams sucked. the defense sucked.  The OL and QB and WRs sucked.

I am not ready to blame any player.

This is going to a long off season!! Never seen so much bitching!! If McDaniels was hired today!! There would still be bitching cuz we brought the cheater coach on!! Too be honest I was not very happy on the Rhule hire.. but I don’t know much to hate him either!! I just know the bowl game didn’t make me like him!! I was wanting McDaniels.. but Tepper saw something he liked so fingers crossed it works out!! Might take a few years and probably would with McDaniels too!! Panthers need new blood on the team!!

Even you blind homers have to admit this is extremely concerning:

He and Hurney must have some common ground, after all.

What a disaster.

We are so in troubbbbbbbbble!....maybe this is just a one year tank job and Tepper will allow him to ride off into the sunset a rich man.....

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
