Grier tells his story (w/ Matt Hayes)

[TheDouglas78]

Respectfully, you think ANY game this season our QB has looked better than Grier did?

Which Grier? We saw Grier play great in the 4th quarter of Tennesse and first half of Ole Miss. Play really good against New Mexico. Look off center against ECU and Missouri. We have seen only one game that looked as good as Ole Miss. But a lot of ECU and Missouri.

The kid was a redshirt freshman......JFC

I would take any of them over the uninspired play I have watched this year. He wasn't perfect, but the team rallied around him.

I know, but it's the only think we have to go off of.. Until he has other game tape, then we do. He would still have been the most talented qb on our roster this year. As for being a redshirt freshman, so was Wuerfell and Grossman their first year.

The uninspired play is team wide... I don't know if he would also be caught up in it as well... just no evidence to say which way it would have gone.

Not my question but my answer would be no!

Again, anyone pretending like they didn't think we had something special 12 months ago is lying. And anyone acting like the attitude of the team wasn't entirely different when he was behind center is as well. The team seemed to play genuinely inspired despite gaping talent and ability holes all over the offense while he was in the lineup, and especially when he was taking it on the chin trying to make a play. Haven't seen one game since he came out of the lineup where I can say that.

And both of those guys had some crummy games where they were benched or lost in addition to some great ones. While only in the first 6 games, grier didn't lose a single one, and when we were in a dogfight against a legit team he showed up and made plays. Can't argue that.

Durty, not saying we didn't think we had something special.. he has talent, and could be special. I think the "inspired" play is more of an issue just the quarterback. I think it is a organizational problem. Of course they were all a little more fired up in the early parts of last season, Muschamp was gone. The whole of Gator Nation was inspired. Then reality set in... we aren't as talented/good as we think we were.

Some of you are forgetting that even had Grier NOT transferred, he still wouldn't be starting as our QB...yet.

I got ya man. I definitely think their was a feeling that we were finally coming out of the dark tunnel simply due to chump being gone, but I feel like and genuinely sensed something special from grier and, again, this is my opinion but he really seemed like the team played better and harder with him in there.

this would be his first game back

 

[MJMGator]

Food for thought to all of the "Five Quarters Guys".....He would be eligible for this weeks game.....right now....Who would you want back there for the rest of the season? I'll await some honest responses........

I love the woulda, coulda, shoulda game. I vote for Danny if he was still eligible.

 

[Durty South Swamp]

this would be his first game back

Not sure about that actually, I think not playing last weekend may actually extend it a week. I believe he wasn't eligible until GAME 7 of this year but b/c of the cancellation, this weekend will actually be game 6. Can someone confirm?

okay... nonetheless we would be on the cusp of his return

 

[gardnerwebbgator]

**** Grier. Spolied and selfish brat, and a dumb bastard to boot. A perfect fit at WVU. Good luck in the Cactus or Alamo bowl if you get that far.

 

[ATXGator]

His potential return. There is no guarantee he would have beat out Del Rio. That is especially true if Del Rio plays well this week. Then there would have been a ton of drama... do you start Grier and give him 2 weeks to get ready for UGA even though he hasn't played in a real game in 12 months or do you start LDR...

I'm not sure the correct call unless Grier is just dominating in practice.
