Who do you think gets to be the backup QB ?  I once thought it would be Walker but now Grier seems to be a bit better .  Walker looks more to make a big play down field and is quicker with his feet  but Grier is more the pocket passer and takes what the defense gives him .  Fits may look to make a deal with a team needing  a backup QB. What is your thoughts ?

Grier makes more sense for the backup job. He will take less risks and try not to to lose any games with mistakes. You want that more than explosive riskiness in a backup IMO, especially now that we might have a decent defense. The way Teddy plays is ideal for a backup. Take what the defense gives you and let your teammates make plays to sneak a win out. Grier fits that mold the most out of the 2.

If it were me I would absolutely keep 3 QBs given the uncertainty surrounding protocols this season. 

and there is an expanded practice squad.  We should just throw one on the practice squad.   And probably keep him distanced in this covid world.  That why we don’t have to run a wildcat game if covid attacked the QB room.

Grier was not bad last night, and PJ is just not an NFL QB.  Grier is not much, but I think he got better with confidence.   After the TD run, he seemed to see the light a bit.  I dunno.  They are both inconsistent and not real good.

Fun Fact:  I had forgotten, but Grier came in 4th in the Heisman voting.  And now you know.

Grier did a better job in the preseason, but Rhule plays favorites like no one I’ve ever seen in the NFL (even Rivera). He will cut Grier and make Walker the backup because he went to Temple.

And, before the homers try to discredit the first sentence, enjoy this

You realize that that's not really proving anything. I think Rhule just goes with the best option. You'll see this when he picks Grier.

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.

      It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
