Who is the backup QB ?

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.
