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

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
