Welcome to the Pats, Will Grier

[jdlboot14]

Not sure what they're looking for. I know Grier had a lot of buzz coming out of college, but don't think he's shown anything so far.

Tough dude - nice arm, runs - what's not to like?

Mechanics need a bit of work from what I'm reading, his footwork is meh and he doesn't get a lot of power on the ball when he can't set his feet.

 

[sb1]

Almost like he knows Mac Jones is going to take a beating with this offensive line...

Will Grier?

Probably not.

I like the roster strategy recently. Use practice squad elevations to fill out the game day roster in the short term while using the actual roster spots on waiver claims and signings from other practice squads, players that you can’t sign to to your own practice squad.

Now we just need this to result in an actually useful player.

 

[Grogan1980]

Huh?

They like QBs that have 5 letter last names ...

It’s a shame Corral didn’t pan out.
I wonder if it was the Pats or Matt who pulled the plug on the PS signing.
Like imagine Matt is mentally in a bad place he gets told he’s being signed to the PS while he gets thru this MJ goes on IR and the Pats are like sorry Matt we can sign Grier to the active roster now.

Also imagine Zappes feeling.
But Bills Shrewdness could of traumatized poor Matt wow.

Also imagine Zappes feeling.

He was already cut by the team. Can’t imagine his expectations are too high after that.

This also suggests that they don't view Cunningham as an NFL QB.

Yeah they really think they can make him a WR I guess. Not sure he showed anything in camp and preseason to back that up but I guess we'll see.

Interesting tidbit is that he was chosen with the pick before Cajuste in the 2019 draft. I wonder If he was high on their board.

If he makes it as a WR that's gravy. I think his primary role is to play Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen in practice.

 

[Since1960]

Can he play tackle?

Or wide receiver?

 

[Spiral]

Better Will than Bobby.

 

[Triumph]

Can he play tackle?

He is your new Binkie QB.

 

[Love The Drake]

I liked him coming out of the draft I haven’t kept up with his career much cause he really hasn’t had one.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Hopefully he leapfrogs Zappe and the forum Zappites will Bail on him.

Didn’t he start against us in his rookie year?
