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.

      Thielen was a "dawg" like Dan Morgan likes to say. And they replaced him with puppies.  The analytics are probably saying this is more targets for younger receivers they are hoping to develop, specifically the first round pick from 2025. The eye test is going to show a very inexperienced group of WRs that are going to have some serious growing pains, for a 3rd year QB who has not yet proven to be the guy going forward.  It's crazy how in the literal first game of his NFL career, Cam Newton showed everyone he was a star QB and there was never any doubt about that. It almost didn't even matter who was around him, although he definitely had a serious lack of talent at WR for most of his career. Bryce is going into his third season and there is still a ton of doubt, and who is around him is seen as crucial for him to have success. I don't like it.

      Everyone says AT was old and slow but the one thing he could do consistently was get separation. That takes skill and it's been a huge issue in our WR for years. And while Moore may be a great locker room guy and our WR coach may be a 12 year vet, he's not playing in the game. Vets like AT do what they do because they can see things others don't and exploit it. The DB interview I mentioned before was with Stephon Gilmore after his DPOY season. He was pulling the younger DBs aside showing them things you wouldn't even think you'd be able to tell from the way the receiver was standing.  Seeing what a DB or LB is biting on in game that can give you that half step advantage is huge and we don't have that experience in our WR group right now and I think it could end up hurting us. None of our receivers have lined up against NFL corners successfully on a regular basis. Having someone that can walk over and give you a tip to get a half yard separation can be a difference maker.
