People are angry they kept Grier over Heinicke?

If any of these quarterbacks see the field, the season is pretty much over. At least for this season.

That is true for just about any team in the league.  In order to win with a backup qb, you have to get Nick Foles lucky, or have a dominant defense with a good run game and a backup that doesn't turn the ball over.  I doubt any of these guys would be able to do what Foles did.  Having a dominant defense and good run game is slightly possible, and Allen hasn't turned the ball over, at least not in the small sample size we have seen.

Grier played like how you used to expect a rookie QB would. That's why they'd generally spend a season or two on the bench, like Aaron Rodgers did behind Favre or Brady did behind Bledsoe or Mahomes behind Smith. Seasoning. 

Keeping Grier was a no brainer, but I would have rather seen Heinicke kept over Allen.

Even Heineke over Allen seems to be a silly thing to be upset about. Last year when Heineke started and looked bad and Allen came in and actually played decent, everyone was clamoring about how Allen was so much better and they were going to riot if Ron tried to play Heineke again against New Orleans (before he was officially ruled out).

After Heineke puts up some decent stats against defenses made up 90% of people cut today, we should be upset that he's gone? I'm sure he's a nice guy and I hope he gets a chance with Indy but the Panthers did not lose anything by cutting him today.

Also neither Allen nor Heinicke would win games. Allen has more potential to be a legit QB. Why would you not keep the guy with more upside when the results of them playing this season would be the same?

    • lol Wonnum at 6m “could be outstanding”? It’s week 6 now and he still hasn’t played. Wonnum will be cut this offseason. There is no “could be” about it anymore. It was a bad signing  A large majority of us wanted Frazier over Brooks at the time of the draft. No one expects him to be a top 10 back. Especially if the middle of our IOL is sh!t. Corbett is a FA after this season and we just spend a fortune on 2 guards… drafting a stud center in the 2nd round on a rookie deal for the next 4 seasons was a damn gift sitting there for the talking. Instead Morgan opted to spend more resources on a running back… talk about stupid  Our cap situation is awful. And will be again this offseason. Morgan needed to sit on his hands and not hand out useless contracts just to because. This team was once again not winning the Super Bowl this year or next yet they continued to operate like they HAD to fill holes. This defense was always going to be bad and guys like Jewell, Robinson, Clowney, Fuller, Scott weren’t changing that. We were always going to be bad this year the least they could’ve done is cleaned up some of the cap mess. Morgan went on a cutting spree and then proceeded to sign a bunch of guys similar to the ones he had just cut. So now we’re eating a crap load of dead money and paying new guys to produce the same results 
    • So ironic that Jaycee Horn seems to be the only player NOT injured this year.
