I think Grier is as good as gone. I don't even think he will be held for practice squad. PJ didn't show much in terms of protecting the football but he did show he could move it down field or the capability of it in his short playing time sample. Grier just looked completely overwhelmed, sounds like he knows he is almost done in that recent interview and also must have not had much confidence from the coaches last year when they had an opportunity to play him but chose PJ to play instead. I'm not sure if Grier even makes the practice squad of another team and potentially isn't beginning his coaching career after the Panthers cut him or whatever else next career may be in line for him.

I have never seen Grier play well for us, ever....preseason, regular season...he just looks bad.

PJ looked great in the Lions game until those ints in the ez.  Then he just fell apart in the Saints game.  He has to get that under control.

I feel same way. I feel like PJ has at least shown some sort of potential to even be a third string QB but Grier has always looked God awful in every single last thing I've ever seen him in. I have a feeling the NFL just isn't a fit for him. I'm sure he is an okay guy and not bashing him but sometimes I guess a solid college career does not always transfer to the NFL.

Wasn’t Grier a third rounder?

great investment …

Or very own GM feels that a team should be adding a QB to the roster every year. 

While every year won't be 3rd round picks, the law of averages says there will be 3rd round picks made that don't pan out whether is QB or not. 

Point being, it's a moot point.

Bout time to cut Little loose if we can't get any value out of him at all. Is he at least effective as backup type for depth ?

That’s what I’m thinking. Little’s on a rookie contract and at least provides some depth. No financial advantage or otherwise by cutting him loose just yet.

      We have seen Bryce get outplayed by all manner of QBs, from UDFAs to second round picks.  If we actually scouted any QBs it would not be a difficult task to upgrade from Bryce, you guys act like he is even decent. He is one of the worst starters league wide stop making excuses.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
