FINAL PRESEASON STATS: 

Note: Grier also ran for more yards

Those of you wanting Walker---after you exhaust the excuses, am I missing something here?  Why is this hard?  Grier won--by 30 percentage points.

This has to be the first time I can recall where a player clearly beat out someone else for the job, but won’t get it solely because of his alma mater.

Gonna be an interesting decision. Rhule likes him, and I have yet to see why.

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. 

True. Although a wildcat offense running through CMC is thought-provoking. Disastrous, but thought provoking.

Walker really gave Rhule no choice but to make this a call of loyalty vs performance. 41% completions is absolutely disgusting.

I'm very disappointed we weren't in on the Minshew trade - that would have solved a lot of problems.

Right now we're picking between the tallest midgets at QB. Grier has played better in pre-season, but if either one has to start for any extended period of time we're boned.

Oh absolutely. Imagine if Grier completed 41% and Walker 71%. He’d be tarred and feathered while Walker would be feted as a better version of Cam Newton.

Most of the negative reactions on here are just people with an irrational dislike of Grier based on emotions. Those people tend not to watch football so much as suggest players are better than others with no empirical evidence. So basically, Matt Rhule is your average huddler. No wonder people on here will take a bullet for him.

It don't matter at this point, whomever it is will just be a placeholder until Charlie Brewer is drafted by us in the next draft.... Calling it now 

Then he might as well go with Walker and have 2 of "his guys" on the roster at the position.

      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.
