PJ was better for most outings than Grier. 

No he wasn't.

As for Walker, he could be on our practice squad for five years and nobody would give him a look.

The only coach who thinks he's an NFL player is Matt Rhule.

(who coincidentally isn't an NFL coach)

We may find out.   We're not keeping 4.  We'll see if Darnold or PJ finds a home.  You seem pretty confident neither will.

Didn't say anything about Darnold.

I actually think he could find a home as a backup somewhere if someone we're paying a lot less for him than we are.

The majority of people on here last preseason thought Grier outperformed Walker, even among Grier critics.

We all pretty much also knew who Rhule was keeping no matter how they performed.

Walker completed like 37% of his passes. If you switched his stats with Grier's, they'd say Walker did better. Irrational hate is irrational hate.

He wasn't.  He had one 24 yard run TD that made him look better than he was.  His one start, before Rhule, was atrocious.

P.J. Walker is flat-out not an NFL-tier quarterback. Cool that he got a win against a team that scored 0 points on Matt Rhule, but it's the fact. Grier's a QB3, maybe a QB2 if he improves some more. Haven't heard much but what I saw was that he's done well in Dallas' camp.

I saw that report out of the Dallas camp on Grier, too.

Grier stunk here, but in fairness to him, he was drafted because he had potential to develop behind Cam.  Bad timing, as the guy who wanted him was gone after his first year, because of the way that year went there was next to zero development (seats were too hot), and the staff that came in behind him had no interest.  Who knows, maybe he becomes a solid #2 over time.  But it wasn't going to happen here once Turner left.

The possibility that he could develop into a serviceable backup places him ahead of Walker.  Walker's only chance is to latch onto a team willing to run the wishbone.

Lemme guess: You're gonna cite the game against the Cowboys where he had two touchdowns (one running and one passing) and Grier barely played as part of your argument. Correct? 😐

I think how bad PJ Walker is, is overstated around here.  He isn’t a NFL backup.  That’s just Rhule being Rhule.   Let’s establish that. But he is still better than a lot of QBs we actually drafted.  He can’t avoid the dumb play….but a lot of guys we drafted couldn’t do what PJ has done on a NFL field (like the AZ game).  He has some level of sporadic ability. So he isn’t the worst we have put on the roster in reality.  

Pike,  LeFors, Touchdown Jesus.  Hell, PJ probably is better than Clausen.

When people talk about Matt Rhule keeping players that don't belong on an NFL roster, PJ Walker tends to be one of the first names that comes up.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
