Grier gone to the Patriots
#84
(09-22-2023, 10:32 AM)bfine32 Wrote: So Grier's "strengths" are:

He started 2 games 4 years ago and was terrible at it

He was a 3rd round pick in 2019

He had a good Preseason game.

Hell, Ryan Finley was selected 4 picks after Grier, has more experience as a starter, was better at it, and has over 1 year's experience is Zac's program.

Why don't we want him? Because he's not very good, but he's been better than Grier

What is your point? That we don't need a QB3? That with Burrow injured and status uncertain, that the Bengals can go into the MNF game with just Browning? Because many of the points being made, including my own, is that it is a pretty big deal to lose one's QB3, four days before the MNF game, when QB1 is injured. Do you remember when the 49ers were down to their emergency QB?

If Burrow were not injured, then yes, losing QB3 is no big deal. We have time to bring someone in and get them up to speed. But as of this writing, there is no commitment to Burrow starting. 

The Bengals thought Grier was good enough that they signed him as the QB3. And they jettisoned Siemian, who had a lot of starting experience. The Patriots saw something in Grier.

I made the point also that the Bengals could use this as an opportunity to upgrade the position. Not do a lateral move, but actually strengthen the position of backup QB.
