Both have basically one NFL start/game to their name.  

Carolina was able to blow a bad Lions team out with PJ and without CMC

Carolina got blown out by a mediocre Indy team with CMC putting up 170 yards 

neither are going to win games if called to be our starter.  Not enough to mean anything at least.  PJ Walker can offer more to the team during the week as our D preps for mobile opponents.  That’s the job considering who those two are.  Plus he is a Rhule guy (not saying it should matter but it clearly does).

If I have to pick between the 2, I pick Grier. We have more invested in him and he is younger.

This Preseason:

Grier: 17/24 (70.8%) 175yds 0TD 0INT

Walker: 11/29 (37.9%) 169yds 1TD 0INT

Both have spent about the same time with 2s and 3s.

Grier started his 2 games as a rookie when we were hopeless and Fewell was coach in 2018.

PJ threw 1TD and 5INTs in 6 quarters last season. He didn’t beat the Lions the defense did.

I would personally prefer them to bring in a vet. But between the 2, I really don’t see why it’s close. This isn’t the XFL. The only reason PJ is here is because of the Rhule factor.

Familiarity with the playbook.  If Darnold goes down for 1-2 games, PJ or Grier can game manage.  If Darnold goes down for the season then, yeah, it doesn’t really matter.

If Darnold goes down for one or two series maybe either one could manage. But really, neither one is capable of holding the line for more than a quarter. They really are that bad. 

And Darnold... well, we really still don't know.

I will say the Will Grier pick still just puzzles me. He was never going to be a Air Coryell QB and even under the WCO his arm is very weak. Not his fault our scouting department sucked but he should have been 7th round at best. I mean he wasn't even good in college.

Still hanging on to those two goofy arguments, I see.

I do agree Walker would be really helpful if we're prepping to face a team with a crappy quarterback.

He wasn’t as bad as you think.

Some more preseason stats 

PJ  - 0 sacks

Grier - 3 sacks

PJ - 2 80 yard drives in his first half 

Grier - 1 50 yard drive in his first half

There are more stats than that my guy.  

compare the first half of each against each other. 

TDs, passing yards, sacks taken,  number of scoring drives, number of long drives.  

PJ edged him in all those. 

Now if you want to compare 2nd half reps? Grier gets him there.

I’d give PJ the slight edge.  But I certainly don’t have a problem with someone thinking Grier edged him.  Either would be a fair take. 

I have a problem with someone thinking one has been significantly better than the other this preseason.   And that it isn’t close. 

Gantt also said Grier might be making it a competition now.  Which means he had PJ ahead going into last night.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D. · Posted

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
