Grier thoughts on Darnold (conversation from other thread)

[TheCasillas]

My buddy went golfing with Grier recently. Had a discussion wtih WG, and WG was pretty open about the transition and mentioned that the game is just really fast compared to college. WG knows this is the year that could be it for him. There were a few other tidbits, but the one thing that was really cool to hear:

SD seems like a QB that just has it all together. Super smart dude and probably will be a great starter for us -WG

Thought these comments deserved its own thread.

Unless he’s shown tremendous improvement, I don’t see him being on the roster after this year (if he even makes the roster at all).  He was very, very bad and last year’s weird offseason didn’t help his development any.

You do realize the point of this post was about our starter...not Grier

Since @rayzor made this a thread, let me add the rest of the tidbits:

1. WG stated that the group that has been going out and practicing has built a really strong bond. Brotherhood mentality is developing, and SD has joined the crew with ease.

2. About 8 panther players going on monthly golf outings. The individuals in that group include: CMC, DJ, SD, WG, & Shaq (Member at piper glen)

3. He stated the Colts game where he threw 3 picks had a very vanilla game plan, and that was partly because he was still adjusting. 

4. He thinks DJ is gonna have a monster year, but our defense will shock the world

The rest of the convo really was centered around personal stuff, so I will  leave that where it lies.
 

One bonus note: WG LOVES going to weddings. Apparently he is quite the entertainer.

but it does kind of unintentionally say something about Grier.

I kinda like WG on this team tbh. He seems like a bro's bro.

Yeah, I was mostly just focused on the first paragraph where he said he knows this could be it for him.  At least he’s self aware. 
 

Everything said about Sam so far has been good.  I’m sure the team is happy to have him after so many frustrating losses where it seemed hopeless for a comeback win.  I think with actual coaching Sam can be pretty good.  His attitude’s definitely in the right place.  Gase was his QB coach, OC, and HC last year.  Yikes.
