FINAL PRESEASON STATS: 

Note: Grier also ran for more yards

Those of you wanting Walker---after you exhaust the excuses, am I missing something here?  Why is this hard?  Grier won--by 30 percentage points.

This has to be the first time I can recall where a player clearly beat out someone else for the job, but won’t get it solely because of his alma mater.

Gonna be an interesting decision. Rhule likes him, and I have yet to see why.

Oh, the decision was made last December. Performance doesn’t account for 1% of the evaluation.

and there is an expanded practice squad.  We should just throw one on the practice squad.   And probably keep him distanced in this covid world.  That why we don’t have to run a wildcat game if covid attacked the QB room. 

True. Although a wildcat offense running through CMC is thought-provoking. Disastrous, but thought provoking.

This is the only qualification required to be a Carolemple Owlther.

Walker really gave Rhule no choice but to make this a call of loyalty vs performance. 41% completions is absolutely disgusting.

I'm very disappointed we weren't in on the Minshew trade - that would have solved a lot of problems.

Right now we're picking between the tallest midgets at QB. Grier has played better in pre-season, but if either one has to start for any extended period of time we're boned.

Oh absolutely. Imagine if Grier completed 41% and Walker 71%. He’d be tarred and feathered while Walker would be feted as a better version of Cam Newton.

Most of the negative reactions on here are just people with an irrational dislike of Grier based on emotions. Those people tend not to watch football so much as suggest players are better than others with no empirical evidence. So basically, Matt Rhule is your average huddler. No wonder people on here will take a bullet for him.

Huddle in 2019: I hate Ron, all he does is stick with his guys 

Huddle in 2021: I love Rhule, you have to respect the fact he sticks with his guys

It don't matter at this point, whomever it is will just be a placeholder until Charlie Brewer is drafted by us in the next draft.... Calling it now 

[Captain Obvious]

probably not on the roster yet

Then he might as well go with Walker and have 2 of "his guys" on the roster at the position. 

[Carl Spackler]

If it were me, I’d have entered the season with 3 QBs: Minshew via trade, then Grier and a draft pick can fight it out for the backup job (unlike Rhule, I’d pick the one who won)

That’s our first-round pick next year regardless of draft slot.
