You are vastly overrating Griers “performance” in the preseason.  He sucked most of the time

I think most of us agree Grier still sucks but you can't defend 71% completions to 41% on a similar amount of throws. And Grier had the bigger run too.

I think Grier won the battle with this last game but I think we should keep both of them to be honest. 

Walker has the skills to keep us competitive and Grier is actually showing good potential for the first time. Should Darnold get hurt or crumble, it's worth having them both around to evaluate.

I agree. PJ Walker should be kept on the practice squad.

If the Temple connection doesn’t come into play then Grier really should get it. Either guy is going to lose us games if Sam goes down so I say roll with the higher ceiling which is Grier. Now I’d be fine if we somehow get a cheap veteran and then cut both PJ and Will. I’d prefer to only keep 2 on roster

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. 

I pretty much said the same thing in the final 53 cut thread. Spot on.

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. 

I believe Minshew wants to be a starter. He has a good chance at doing that in Philly. I don’t think they are sold on Jalen Hurts.

I’m just saying between the two, the guy who won. If it were me I’d be starting Minshew. 

If Grier gets the job I will support him.  He did make some nice plays last game and hasn’t ever really been given a chance here.

Wrong. Grier was given a chance in 2019, kyle allen and taylor heineke played better, and they still cut heineke and kept Grier. 

They have been nothing but fair.

      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.
