Will Grier had the "Play of the Day" today

Bill V says Grier made the play of the day today.

Biggest play of the day was a Will Grier deep ball to Pharoh Cooper. 

Derrick Brown made his presence known with a PBU at the line. 

Russell Okung walked off midway through with a trainer.

 

As much as some fans hate to hear it, Grier is not off the Panthers radar. They want him to be a lifetime backup and would be very excited if he turned out to be more than that.

 

Also, Coming leaving is a bit worrisome given his history. Anxious to see what it is.

Why would fans hate to hear that we’re not giving up on Grier. Yeah he was bad last year but what rookie 3rd round QBs thrust into that situation aren’t bad. Give him time, there’s a chance he becomes a solid backup which is good enough for me.

Wait so Marty used a third for a guy they want to be a lifetime backup QB? Lolz

Better than the 10+ first round qb's on rosters that our lifetime backups. Backup QB is a lot more important than it used to be. I dont think I need to provide examples. A draft pick that is worth a roster spot, is a always a win for a gm. Especially if you take into consideration how easy it is to fail in the draft.

Already hearing the ‘Curtis Samuel looks good tweets’. 

In a year where everything has changed, some things stay the same. 

Samuel's only real problem (and, no, an irregular heartbeat fixed by ablation, is not a real problem) has been circumstance, and that coaches have not put him in to a consistent position to succeed.

If Belichick or Reid had Samuel, he'd be an NFL-household name by now!

Honestly, I thought about that but considered it an overblown issue. Some of the most notable receivers---including some of the best in history---in the league leave a few on the turf [Don't believe me? Look it up!].  Samuel bought a JUGS machine. I'll just trust that he's actually putting it to good use and that it will reflect in his play on Sundays.

      Comparing a random stat to another rookie QB has nothing to do with the current subject.  Tom Brady had a 6.0 YPA his rookie year.  I hope you're not using one stat to define success of a QB? It's not a problem to want him to do better based on where he was drafted although I still contend it doesn't matter after the fact.  It doesn't matter if we're talking about Cam Newton, Tom Brady, Russel Wilson or any other QB.  It makes little difference once you're in the NFL.  Nobody gets a ring for where they were drafted.   Higher draft picks will get a little more time in most cases as teams want to make sure they've exhausted all avenues before they admit a draft pick can't play.  Other teams might pick them up thinking it wasn't the player but the organization and/or other coaches that caused the player not to succeed.  It's people's expectations that are wrong.  If we could go back and redo all the draft and put guys in the correct draft spot based on how well they played in the NFL, that would be nice.  Then your argument would make some sense.  People assume that where a player was drafted is a statement on how good that player is when the reality is there is a lot more luck than skill in drafting. If Coker turns into a pro bowl receiver and XL becomes a bust nobody cares except fans and the media. What we really should say is it's not too much to expect a player who has started at QB for a team over the last 2 years to be better than he currently shows.   Don't compare 1st round picks.  Compare starting QB's in the NFL.

      Defense is turning around?

      By electro's horse · Posted

      They’re gonna have to go up against a real offense before any kind of judgement can be made of them.  Tlaw looks like damaged goods, Kyler is completely washed, and Penix….well…. they look better compared to last season but that’s what you’d expect with a healthy brown and horn.  I haven’t seen anything that indicates they’ll be considered an overall good defense when the dust has settled. 2002 it is not.
