Why is Grier still here?

This is why I...

1) Don't understand the Fletcher pick in the 6th with a guy like Jamie Newman available, he's younger, athletic and has arm talent, Grier is 26 I think at this point he is what he is.

2) Passing on Mond when we were wheeling and dealing all of those picks day 2, we had the ammunition to take a mid round QB.

3) Ultimately passing on Fields, still not okay with that, when it happened and still to this day.

Overall I like our draft class, so I won't complain but so much, BUT I think we made some mistakes as well, time will tell.

He got more of "it" than Grier

Neither of you are really wrong. The issue is value of investment and the Panthers unwillingness to put all their chips in and acquire the face of their franchise. They only did so in 2011 begrudgingly but they were rewarded for it in a big way. As long as they're only willing to budget mode the most important position in the nfl odds are they will keep yielding the same results.

Newman? Seriously? Newman didn't even make it out of Eagles OTAs before being cut.

Now that he's a free agent, anybody could have him but nobody wants him.

Is there a Panthers QB in our history that is worse than him? I don't think so

 

I'd rather they bring in someone that can throw the ball downfield and be aggressive even if they aren't accurate. Or someone that can run. Grier solves no purpose. He doesn't have an NFL skill and he's slower than molasses.

Jimmy Clausen can at least throw a touchdown. I would bet the under on 0.5 touchdowns if you gave Grier 10 straight offensive drives. Clausen also had a 107.6 rating in a win once. Grier undoubtedly would go 0-16. He is that bad.

Clausen started 12 games roughly?

Grier started 2 when Fewell was HC behind an OL way worse than 2010? 
 

He didn’t play last season? It’s reaching to make that assumption.

I agree. He must have been great at WV. I have just not seen that he is a gamer and just does not give us a chance. I am going to say again that this is going to be a good team. It drives me crazy the down talk on here. I am all in. I have run over 20 marathons and know when to stay tough. It's a mental thing and I am on board for a good ride. We are going to work hard and MAKE it work. NOT getting off this train till we get to the station.

At the end of the day QB isn't a position you dabble in I don't think.

They thought the players they took were better shots at being NFL players than taking a 'punt' on Mond / Newman et al. 

I'm a huge advocate of carrying three QBs on the 53 man roster at all times and drafting one every other year - unless you're supremely happy with the three you have. Darnold was the new QB this year - I bet we pick up a new one next year (if we don't pick up a backup from the waiver wire).

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      The entire OP is about the play calling and results and only mentioned T-Mac one time, in the sense of our offensive struggles only made me more frustrated about our #1 WR only getting a single 2nd half target in a game we were behind for the majority of it. How is that showing my true colors? It's way more of other people reading too much into it and thinking this is all and only about T-Mac for me, but it's not.  He just happens to be the player that I specifically was upset by his 2nd half usage, but it had nothing to do with my personal feelings towards him, but that he's our only legitimate WR and he had a single target in the 2nd half after going for 73 yards in the first. To me, that is a very legitimate play calling gripe, the win or particular player aside.

      Any well functioning team benches Bryce

      By Achilles · Posted

      We’re stuck with Bryce for now.  He led TWO drives where we came from behind to take the lead. One of them was the winning drive and he threw the winning TD. Taken as a whole…he played at expectation after the 1st quarter. That’s not so bad under the circumstances.  We got the win. Maybe they’ll struggle to build on it but a win is a win. He drove the offense down and took the lead when it was needed. You can’t take that away from him.    We’re not changing QBs anytime soon.  Or owners.  So…when they win, we should take it at face value and give credit where it’s due.  Bryce came up big in clutch moments. You can’t take that away from him.
