At this point I would want Grier to be the backup and PJ to be the Practice Squad / Scout Team QB. If either has to be the guy long term this season we are picking top 5 so it really doesn't matter. Both of these guys are trash and we likely do indeed have the worst QB1-3 room in all of football heading into the season.

Biggest selling point for PJ over Grier IMO is for PJ to play the role of opposing QBs in practice for our D. 

and I didn’t think he was practice squad eligible 

CMC and our D are the key this year.   And we play a lot of mobile QBs.

I don't disagree with the thinking, but I also think his 1:5 TD to INT ratio and his under 40% completions this preseason means the defense won't be getting good examples of what QBs on other teams do. If you don't care about the end result of the play and just want a runner back there to mimic another teams QB then just use an old WR.

They will get the pocket mobility and containment reps though.   

Which to me, outweighs whatever difference there might be between Grier and PJ in terms of accuracy.   Plus, PJ presents more threats on where and how a ball can get there.  They are just defense reps.  So the ball placement doesn’t matter to me in that setting as much.  D either did there job or didn’t. 

if he is practice squad eligible then I really give 0 shits.    Doesn’t matter to me then.

Yeah I am not sure if he can be put on the practice squad.

I imagine that we will be scanning the wire for a veteran QB to backup Darnold.  If that happens we won't keep 4 QBs.  One will either be cut or sent to the PS. 

Now that Grier and PJ both have had the opportunity to run with the 2nd team offense who do you think has the upper hand for our 3rd string QB?

PJ seems to be more electric but Grier didn't hurt himself with the 2s. 

Week 3 will tell a lot after Darnold finishes the 1st half of the Pittsburgh game.

Whoever starts the 2nd half might be the one on the way out.  Give him one final shot with the 2nd team offense.

Thoughts 

Could it be we were showcasing Will Grier last night to the rest of the league?

Atlanta just lost McCarron for the year and other teams like the Bengals and Seahawks could use a young and cheap backup QB.

Interesting take.  I like Grier over PJ.  I think with the starting offense Grier has a better chance of executing the offense.  I always see PJ as scrambling instead of standing in the pocket and making an accurate throw.

      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.

      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.
