Edit: Kyle Allen extended for 1 year

[SetfreexX]

Grier is in play due to draft investment, I think Kyle is out, and we look at another Day 3 prospect to fill out the room. For all the talk of Allen's skill set being a fit, Grier's is suited to Brady's offense as well, accurate with good touch on the deep passes. 

For all three QB's a lot of the success is tied to adequate protection, of which Cam has shown he can perform with a shoddy OL & no receivers, see 2017.

Typically capable backups don't throw 16 passes to the other team in 8 starts.

Notice I said, 'backup', not starter.  Also, he started 12 games last year.

He looked better than Grier, and we're screwed if Cam isn't the starter either way, so, I mean, yeah, I would rather have him as the backup than Grier. 

What if Rhule thinks they can make something out of Grier?

Remember they are starting a "partnership" (whatever that means) with a noted quarterback guy.

Yes you bring him back.  Hes cheap and a better backup than Grier at this point.  A backup is just suposed to get a couple wins if the starter goes down for a few games.  He shown he can do that, he just cant sustain it through an entire season.

I'm not holding my breath.

Looks like we're keeping him.  Just signed extension.

I think the point is to find someone who can.  Right now we don't have anyone who can do that.

Cheap, low risk and already familiar with the team.  Why not?

1 year huh.  Seems a recurring theme.

Me neither... but Rhule might be.

The reality is that Matt Rhule is a pretty big wild card right now. We don't really know that much about him so predicting what he's likely to do is largely guesswork.

I think thats all they can offer at the league minimum for ERFA
