Panthers have spent "considerable time" with Will Grier

Then take some late round no name. Statistically it's about the same.

Because Carpanfan is right about the situation, and it means they may not just be looking at this season.

Like it or not, they have to plan for the possibility of life after Newton.  There are different options on how they do it, and yes they include a QB this year. And given that they have a QB guru on staff, they're not necessarily going to shy away from taking a mid-rounder with the idea of developing him.

I understand wanting insurance in case Cam isn't 100%.  But, 1) Grier ain't it and 2) we also have several other needs that we have to fill with these picks in the event that Cam is healthy.

Grier's not the only option. Neither are our options limited to guys we've visited with.

That said, Grier seems to be an option that the Panthers like. The question is just how much.

47 is my answer to your question.

Grier looks legit to me. I don't know why people are so dead set against him. Sure, he doesn't have a cannon, but he sure does deliver a pretty ball from what I've seen. 

I think that people get caught up too easily with sexy first round picks. The first round ain't the only round to pick a QB that's worth a damn.

My concern with Grier is that he may he a system QB. Seems like that's the case for ever skill position player that comes out of WVU. Certainly looked to be the case during Senior Bowl week. I don't hate him, but I don't want him prior to our second 3rd rounder at the very earliest and I'm not even sure about that

You know it's snowing in hell, but I tend to agree with Scot on this one. 

And for the record, I love Cam, as should be evident by now, but I love the Panthers more. Last season showed me that it's past time to get a capable backup and someone who could be Cam's successor. If you don't think that it's Grier, fine! But fine QBs emerge from anywhere, from Wilson, to Mahomes, Romo and Brady.

Does anyone know when Hurney is having his pre-draft presser?

Damn, you don't know? I just can't wait for the thread: GM of a southern team talks to media.

It's obviously time for me to go to sleep now. Don't know why the fug I'm still up. To fug with Juan I guess...

The fact that they're strongly looking at taking one is reality.

And if they take one, I don't think they're gonna be terribly bothered by whether you thought it was a good idea.

I also don’t think they’ll be worried about your opinion just as much, if we’re being assholes about this.

Never said they would be.

I just find the whole notion that bringing in insurance in case a player can't go is some sort of insult to the player in question utterly laughable. Even more laughable is the idea that we should just agree to having a bad season if Newton goes down rather than doing the best we can to win without him

I think some folks are dead set against anybody at this point.

Yeah they rather Cam go down and not even try for playoffs. These people on here look like fans that would sale their tickets to the visiting teams! If u think Kyle Allen is the answer ur crazy as hell
