Signed by Cowboys Cowboys claim QB Will Grier

[Stash]

As long as the Cowboys release this guy, and pounce to quickly add Chris Streveler when the Cardinals cut him, I'm ok with this move.

I like Streveler too. Are the Cards actually cutting him?

 

[RonnieT24]

He was great at WV, but excelled in years when Big 12 defenses were conspicuously poor.

When was the last time this was not the case?

 

[Carson]

This is a harsh assessment. He was a rookie on a terrible team thrown to the wolves against two playoff teams at the end of 2019. He was clearly in over his head and it showed. Hopefully he will fare better in Dallas.

My assessment was simply based on the response that he couldn’t be worse than DiNucci lol

I don’t disagree with you at all Ronnie

 

[Avery]

Probably as good as anyone we could have added at this stage.

 

[unionjack8]

So no corresponding move yet to accommodate him?

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Good point but the OU defense has improved a lot the past few seasons. I think the Texas D looks a little better as well.

 

[ESisback]

If you want to like this move don't look at his pro stats.

Sometimes stats lie. Let's hope this is one of those cases. The sample size is so small.

Resist the natural ‘meh’ every once in awhile. Makes ya look more spontaneous!

 

[RonnieT24]

So no corresponding move yet to accommodate him?

Not yet but the Cowboys have a handful of guys who are hurt but had to be kept on the 53 until tomorrow and then they can be placed on the recallable IR. Hill, McKeon, Gallimore and I think one of the drafted offensive linemen.. Ball? all fall into that category..

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

He'll fit right in then.

So is this the constructive criticism you spoke of earlier?

 

[TheCoolFan]

Good move. Better developmental QB for the PS/scout team than DiNucci...and he's pretty much just a year older

 

[Risen Star]

Newton
Grier
Rush

We can work with that.

 

[Ranching]

I’m a Pitt graduate. Of course, I have some sports hate for WV and it’s players.

He played in a conference where defense was pretty much non-existent. All offenses did well in that conference.

And Pitt played in a defensive conference? Lol

I figured you weren't from Texas

I was hoping Streveler too. He was a projected cut, (but wasn't as far as I know).

Don't forget Foles.

 

[817Gill]

Always felt like they would make a move after cuts. No clear upgrade was available as a pure FA, it’s this week where you get some gifts. Shoutout PJ Walker for taking a hold on that backup spot in Carolina.

 

[32BellyOption]

Not sure Grier was brought in the to be the backup just yet. Although he is better than Rush I wouldn’t be surprised to see him moved to the PS for development once his three week stint on the active roster is served. That being said Grier is better than Rush right now. But if Foles becomes available we’d be foolish to not go and get him.

 

[RonnieT24]

Good point but the OU defense has improved a lot the past few seasons. I think the Texas D looks a little better as well.

It actually makes me sad when I think back to when OU-Texas and OU-Nebraska were some of the hardest hitting defensive games of the year.. Then for a time TCU and Baylor took over as the defensive powerhouses. Now frankly I'm not sure you could fashion one good defense from an all star team in that conference.. No actually I take that back.. there is plenty of defensive talent there.. They just don't seem to coach defense very well anymore.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

Irrelevant where Pitt played. The ACC had better defenses than the Big 12 (?) or whatever conference they were in.

Curious why you say that.
