If Allen starts what was the 3rd round pick for Grier worth?

So you drafted Grier for insurance incase Newton isn't healthy and here we are.. only you are turning to an undrafted free agent who was on the roster last year and beat out your insurance policy in preseason. This is the exact reason hurney needs to be canned. Throwing away third round picks pissing in our faces and calling it rain. It's not just this pick, Its almost any pick after the first round.

All I'm saying is if you are passing potential starters in the 3rd round and swinging at "insurance policies" I want to see that plan come to fruition. Looks like he is scrapping that policy as well and these kind of mistakes can't be allowed any longer.

Have you thought to consider that the pick was maybe not for this year and was actually for the future?

Nope because is Cam is finished and doesnt play we picking top 10 and guess what that pick Is gonna be.. Grier was a panicked hometown pick that probably will never see the light of day.

Well there's a simple explanation for that -- those people are morons

I agree with OP only because I think Allen is the better player. Hurney did the same thing with Matt Moore and Clausen and wasted a second round pick and any chance at a competitive offense. Only good that came out of that was Cam.

Grier is supposed to be a long term project though.

No, he wasn't.  Top 10 QB picks aren't sure things either.  Grier was a QB with potential that we can develop.  Maybe he becomes the life long backup to a guy we draft in the top of the 1st round.  Maybe he becomes better than that guy.  

You can not say that finding a possible QB replacement is not important.  Obviously, drafting one in the 1st round this past year would be naive, but trying to hit with Grier isn't a terrible move with what we know about Cam now.

He is still a rookie which means the coaching staff may not believe he is ready yet. Starting him too early could also ruin him. Most players need time to develop.

So the Panthers have gone into the last two seasons with works in progress as their backup plan if Cam couldn't play?

Failing to plan is planning to fail.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
