Bench: I’m going to keep Will Grier safe

The guy has good measurables, and he's the one that our OC and QB coach wanted. I personally think he looks/dresses like one of those closeted, evangelical youth pastors, but I'm going to reserve judgement on his play until he's had a chance to have some pro coaching. 

He's at least as good as any of the journeymen 2nd string QBs out there, and at a way better price.

Why is quarterback the one position where so many of you don’t seem to care about depth? At any other position, if we were to suffer an injury without an adequate replacement, everyone would chew out the GM for not having good depth.

I get that we’ve been spoiled by having Superman on our team...but we have to accept the realistic possibility that Cam is mortal now. I know instant gratification is cool and all, but being prepared for the future is pretty cool too.

In all seriousness, the bravado from people like OP is really misguided. No need to feel threatened because we finally have a good backup QB. In fact, if you're a Panthers fan, you should be glad we have a rookie with a solid resume under his belt to spell Cam if needed. All kinda depends on if you hope the Panthers lose if Cam gets hurt. Some feel that way, so it makes sense to buck up and take out their frustrations on a kid who looked up to Cam just like many players his age.

The reality is Grier was an extremely smart pick. Cams play in the last half of 2018 was pretty bad and he's injured the same throwing shoulder 2x in 3 seasons. In a best case senario Cam comes back healthy and Grier is just there for emergency. In worst case Cam isn't 100% or not performing up to par then we actually have a decent QB to come in to replace him. 

I'm thinking hes going to get a bunch of playing time this pre season, I doubt they want to risk anything with Cam and Norv probably immediately wants to see what he has in his newly drafted QB.  Kyle Allen/Hieneke showed their stuff last pre season and last game of the season so there is much less incentive to give them much playing time this pre-season. 

Its going to pretty interesting to see how the fans react to it if Grier starts shredding it up in pre season. I could easily see some people start to get restless if Cam doesn't come out strong out of the gate vs the Rams.

No, the issue is going to be having to deal with the misguided inbred idiot fanbase that was already wanting to bench Cam for Henicke, DA, etc.

Just wait until Cam has a bad game during the regular season....

That's always going to happen with every team. The backup QB is gonna be popular. Has no bearing on the starter. Picking a backup QB with what's essentially an early fourth-round pick is not stupid when the only other QBs are unproven UDFAs who didn't survive an entire game, let alone a season.

      Morgan as GM so far

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Just an FYI, this stat line was brought up more than once for TMJ and Mingo. Maybe he will, but he got a ton of snaps last year. By snaps, XL was our number 1 WR. Thielen and Coker outperformed him on 40-50% less snaps. Reminded me of TMJ where people kept saying he needs more targets when snap wise he was our WR2 for most of his time. XL needs to be better and be able to turns all those snaps into production.

      Justin Simmons interested in two NFC East teams The former All-Pro safety is currently a free agent and it appears that there are two teams he'd prefer to play for: The Eagles or the Commanders.  Simmons revealed that information on the "Talkin' Ball" podcast and you can check out his full comments here. With the Eagles trading away C.J. Gardner-Johnson, it will be interesting to see if they even contact the 31-year-old Simmons.  If Simmons went to Philadelphia, it would reunite him with Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. Simmons spent the first eight seasons of his career in Denver and three of those came while Fangio was head coach.

      Any interest in Kyle Juszczyk?

      You know, Thomas just kept fooling everyone in that building somehow. Remember how many times he "flashed in training camp/practice" and then disappeared during the season? It was NUTS. I don't see ever being okay paying significantly above market value for a blocking TE. They are just too easy to be had for a small price tag. That's just my personal philosophy on the matter. Not the way I like to see cap space utilized.
