Grier will likely be cut with the last group

While we at it...let PJ get a crack with the ones, give Sam some more time to.... whatever he needed this week. 

The 3rd preseason game, a whole half of Darnold...

But that line needs to be addressed now, starting 5 should be ready by next week or have a better ideal of who and where

I’m not opposed to that. Let them all get a crack with the 1s,2s,3s. I’m not against anyone of them. I just don’t want people to come to conclusion of the guys future with Martez Ivey at LT and Giovanni Ricci catching the ball.

I'm not going to put the last nail in the coffin on Grier until I see him play with the twos. He deserves his day in the sun.

Agreed.  He looked better today than last we saw of him...in 2019.  PJ also looked improved from last year...mostly better decision making which is great.  Those 3rd string guys were so bad.  I did not see every play, I have a 3 year old, but what I saw he was mostly accurate and the receivers dropped a lot.  He went 6/10 and from what I saw good decision making.  I saw two drops, which would have made his stat line 8/10.  I did see the throw on 3rd down go over the guys head.  I thought he played a bit tepid overall. 

I think people saying he's the worst backup QB in the league are out of their damn minds.  Compared to his play today, I've seen worse.....this week. 🙄

I don’t think so. PJ took his reps with the 2s while Grier had to take his reps with the 3s.

Grier had somebody in his face every play. Ivey was is LT and Monteiro was his RT.

Giovanni Ricci was also his only receiver getting open. PJ had Marshall and Moore.

Brady also ran the ball 7 times and passed it 21 when PJ was in. He only threw the ball 10 times and ran it 12 times with Grier.

Let Grier take his reps with the 2s next week and see if we have the same opinion.

PJ’s two biggest plays were a byproduct of the play breaking down because he was using his feet.  
 

I think PJ has Tyrod Taylor potential.  I’ve just never seen anything from Grier.

I can't see how they justify keeping Grier around at this point. They will need him for the third preseason game, and PERHAPS put him on the practice squad to run the scout team. Other than that, I think PJ showed today he is light years ahead of Grier. 

This aged well

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
