The Grier Question

[d-dave]

I'd love to see if Grier has gotten better, but I'm not holding my breath.  I don't think it sends the right message to the team.  These guys are still playing for future contracts and putting their film together when the team gets blown up.  Rivera will stick with Allen because he gives them the best chance to win now.  Grier...who knows.  All I know in preseason, he looked like Allen did on Sunday...  So it could be much worse!

Kyle beat him out btw...the backup QB is always the most popular guy when things go south.  Would like to see Grier as well though.  

Kyle did beat him, but to be fair, both QBs looked atrocious in the preseason.

I'm just speaking the truth. It's not really a surprise Allen and almost everyone else not named McCaffrey is doing terrible now. It's because we have hit the hard part of our schedule. Now people are panicking or just want to prove Allen is horrible because they got butt hurt when he was successful against mediocre teams.

An evaluation brought to you by the guy who believed Amini Silatolu was better than Andrew Norwell.

Granted, you have Turner's input as well but still...

And that Daryl Williams was our best option at LT.

There's butthurt going on here alright...

Have you any Preparation H in the cabinet by chance?

with our oline troubles, those who wish to see Grier may be getting their wish soon.

I wouldn't put him in against the Saints unless necessary.  However, after that we get the Redskins.  No way a Ron coached team could build up a lead big enough to safely play a backup QB in the 4th, but I'd go ahead and give a full quarter of play, in the 2nd or 3rd to let him get some experience.  It can't hurt at this point.

Whoever is making the decision on the quarterback decision this offeason, having real game tape on Grier will aid them. Allen has 8 games worth of tape. Grier needs to see action in at least 3 of the last 6 games. I know practice reps are valuable, but I've heard Norv's been around a long time, he can figure it out.

There's also the factor that Grier was Scott and Norv's hand picked guy. If they're gonna go down, you'd think they'd want to show the world the guy they had so much belief in back in May.

Unless it's you. I don't know what to tell you?

You're practically sobbing on your keyboard because there's a conversation on whether or not we should give our 3rd round drafted rookie QB an opportunity if we get into a situation where we're eliminated from the playoffs with nothing to play for.

Get a grip, man.

The Grier Question has been answered twice. Once in the preseason and again when they brought Allen back. If he was good enough to start they would have already started him. Thread...

Haskins looks to be progressing, I honestly think we loose to the skins in a couple weeks. they will pound the rock down our throats and the defense they have is pretty average.

You put Grier in now with the way the oline is playing and you shell shock him.  

[SmokinwithWilly]

If out of contention, we need to look at Grier. Allen is a backup, but Grier was drafted to be a potential starter depending on the Cam situation before injury. He needs to see the field if nothing else so he can see game speed and we can see him. I'm not worried about him being shell shocked, because theres not really anything on the line. Theres a lot to be gained from seeing him in action, as long as we are out of contention.

Oh, mother of... 

I swear, that feels like a long, long time ago. Still can't believe he did that.

That's actually probably worse than the Silatolu / Norwell thing.
