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

Before anyone flips out with the whole 'TemBay bros' nonsense, let's see if Grier is picked up by anyone else to sit on their active roster.

I suspect he won't be. 

Hurney and the WFT are on the line

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".

I dont know about yall, but Grier is a good QB, I am just shocked he was waived. I wonder if his brothers legal issues had anything to do with it? 

no...hes not that good

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.

I think more are sad that Walker's still here.

I feel like PJ is slightly better. Even if they are on the same level, I'm fine with Rhule taking his guy. Makes sense, he knows him and trusts him. Keeping a lesser player for that reason I'd have a problem with (all other things being equal).

Not upset that Grier is gone that’s fine but PJ is no better and should be gone. WE HAVE NO BACKUP!

Something to watch...
