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. 

Yeah this makes sense if we can protect him from getting poached by other teams.

Will Grier just smoked PJ Walker this preseason. 

PJ Walker played in 3 preseason games and did not complete more than half his passes in any game. 16 of 39 passing for a completion percentage of 41% - 252 yards passing, 1 touchdown to go along with 1 carry for 4 yards. 

Will Grier played in 3 preseason games and did not complete less than 60% of his passes in any game. 22 of 31 passing for a completion percentage of 71% - 222 yards passing, 0 touchdowns passing to go along with 7 carries for 32 rushing yards and 1 rushing touchdown. 

If Will Grier just dirted the next 8 passes to have the same amount of throws as PJ he would still have a better completion percent by about 15%. That is how badly PJ Walker just performed. If Rhule wants to reward guys for making progress over where they were a year ago, Grier has improved where it looks like Walker has regressed. If Walker is the 2 its just because he was at Temple.

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

      I've just seen enough highly touted prospects who pretty much everyone was high on end up busting to assume anything.

      Maybe, but a player can also bust for a lot of reasons.  And I'm not about to go look up the stats of all the 1st round WR busts, but I'd be surprised if they had the sustained output and success in college that T-Mac had.  Those early WR busts are usually guys who had one breakout season and then were highly drafted because of physical potential, not already built out ability. I'm not even saying T-Mac is 100% going to have a better career than Chark (although I obviously think he will). I'm just saying that right now, his skill level and ability is better than Chark's ever was, and I don't understand how anyone is arguing against that, not because of T-Mac, but because of who Chark himself was.   If you want to take the argument that you can't say ANY player who hasn't played a down yet can't be considered better than someone who has, then so be it (even though I'd say that's a dumb stance anyways). At his peak ability, Chark was more like a #3 WR than anything else, he was the definition of a league average WR.  If you don't think a Top 10 selected WR with his tape is better than that just because they haven't played in the NFL yet, then you're just stuck on the "he hasn't played a down yet" idea and can't evaluate them as players and abilities.

      And you would've probably said the same thing about a lot of highly drafted WRs who busted.
