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.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
