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.

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
