Grier's performance

[Jeremy Igo]

All things considered ( dog poo coaching, offensive line, receivers ) I think he did ok for his first taste of the NFL. Worth hanging on to him and seeing if he can progress to being a solid backup for years to come.

[LinvilleGorge]

Looks like Igo posted this one in the wrong forum. I'll move it over here.

This should be fun.

He did well for a first time QB getting tossed to the fire, on of his INTs was complete BS.

*just taking out the irrelevant stuff after the thread move

[cookinwithgas]

my viewing mates today complimented his pocket presence and handling breakdowns. Looks like next Sunday could involve alcohol, my situation today required a sober viewing of this debacle.

[Jon Snow]

He looked better than I thought he would under the circumstances.  He looked better than Allen at least and I know that's not a high bar but it's something.  But I will not lose any sleep if they move on from him after the season.  

[Auspanther]

Yeah just like Allen was going to be our new franchise QB

[Jangler]

trade bait?

[LinvilleGorge]

Yeah, I thought he handled pressure from the rush a lot better than Allen. He had good touch on his short passes, but his mid-range passes (where Allen shines) were pretty much straight trash and the more open the receiver was the worse his delivery was. His deep looked about like Allen's - consistently underthrown.

He's going to have to show more than that to be tradeworthy.

He wasn't historically bad but his play didn't inspire a lot of confidence. Granted, two of his interceptions could have been deep completions if our receivers had more muscle and he wisely chose to feed McCaffrey on half his throws. You could say he has the potential to become a serviceable backup which is what you might expect from a comp 3rd round pick while hoping for more. Can't draw a ton of conclusions from a single game but you could probably still say we saw enough to say that he's not the answer for the 2020 starting qb position (not that we expected him to be).

At least one of those throws was underthrown, giving the db a chance to make the play on the ball.

But, I was impressed with his pocket awareness and mobility for sure.

The one area where he excelled, better than Allen or even Cam, was pocket presence and movement.  He moved very well up and out of the pocket as the situation dictated.  That is pretty good when you realize just how bad our Oline plays.

Now, after the great movement, his passing is another thing altogether
