I think the Sam and Teddy decisions would be what dooms him.  Not which bad backup he kept between PJ and Grier. 

Nah, if Sam is a bust he will get one more shot.  I feel Tepper likes him too much to throw in the towel.  He knows how incredibly hard it is to find a qb in the NFL.

 

If anything the Fields pick will add way more weight around his neck than trading for Sam

I've always felt that PJ would win the backup QB job...until this Pre Season. PJ throws has no touch at all. Grier seemed to have outplayed PJ this Pre Season.

I understand your opinion but the facts are not there. PJ looked the best when played with the 1’s and 2’s. PJ knew how to move in the pocket.  Plus he is the fastest out of the three and didn’t run at all. Think about that. Show strong command of the offense when he was in the game by making checks and adjustments at the line before the snap. Put on the tape.

Well yeah bizarrely there is always a would be good player with health issues tied to his drafts too

You know me well enough to know I'd never be a Hurney apologist, but to be fair predicting who will and won't stay healthy in the NFL is pretty damn hard. Even good GMs get it wrong with sad frequency.

You have a weird understanding of the word "fact".

But I do believe if Rhule fails....the QB position and how he managed it will be his downfall.  But that's not a conversation about choosing between Grier and PJ. 

Ding ding

It is Darnold or bust time.  If a second reclamation project doesn't work out we have two paths:

(1) Draft a QB 2022

(2) Acquire a proven vet via major trade

And if it gets to that point, Rhule will no doubt be getting more of a microscope put on him by Tepper.

If Matt Rhule fails, it will be decisions like this that doom him.

I am in no way saying Grier was "good", but he was head and shoulders above PJ based on this preseason.  I hope this is just the precursor to us bringing in a vet backup.  Someone who can throw the ball to our guys and not beat us if we need a game or two.

If Rhule gets canned it wont be because the backup QB wasn't good enough, it will be because the starter wasn't good enough.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By CamWhoaaCam · Posted

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!

      You do know the biggest military base in the US is located just an hour from Raleigh in Fort Bragg right? Military families are family oriented. A hour drive to games is nothing compared to traveling 3 hours to Charlotte.   Cmon man there is nothing happening in Western Carolina other than Charlotte. I only go west for outdoor activities and some nature/mountain views.
