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.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
