I think people take this comp as a shot against Grier (because of their feelings on Dalton).
It's not That's why they both were considered 2nd round picks.
If he was that much better than Dalton coming out, he'd be a first round lock in this weak QB class.
People also forget that Dalton just missed being a 1st round pick. A few teams considered him in the first, and he was the 3rd pick of the 2nd round (35th overall). Sometimes I wonder if the narratives around him would've changed if we traded into the first to get him (which Jay wanted to do). Instead, he was viewed by fans as an inferior prospect "cuz 2nd round".
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
