Apparently the NFL still has concerns about his problems.

The guy signed as a QB with Will Muschamp(after the ‘13 season, no less), failed a scheduled NCAA drug test, has been the center of alleged coke rumors, got a stripper pregnant at 20 and then married her before transferring to a school whose head coach is wanted in several South American countries for his ties to narcotics.

I guess I don’t get it. What supposed character/judgement concerns are they looking at exactly?

Anyone who keeps a cardboard cutout of Bob Stoops in their house gets a pass from me.

You forgot that he quit on his second team, dropped out of school and missed the bowl game.

Questionable arm strength combined with inability to drive the ball when his feet aren't planted. That's the rub on Grier coming in.

The Broncos are going to get the steal of the draft with Grier in the 2nd round.

I was surprised to read that Lock has nearly the same 40 time as Murray -- and with half a foot more height.

Everything points to Lock if they take a QB.
Don't be a tard. Unless they trade up, Lock isn't going to slide to them.

They are taking Grier. If they don't, I'm banning you for life.

Arm strength doesn't mean shyt. Plenty of the great ones had less than premier arm strength. Quick release, accuracy and smarts means everything.

I don't know how these azzclown scouts get paid for doing this job.
Arm strength means nothing? To what do you attibute the failure of Spurrier and Danny Wuerfel to excel in the league? You figure they weren't smart and didn't understand the game?

Doubt it. I think they take an OL before a quarterback. Carr is serviceable. Lock is a bet on serviceable.
Mayock and Gruden do not want Carr and do not think he's a franchise QB. They spent tons of time with every QB in this draft.

I'd put the percentage odds higher on Grier than Lock of going to the Raiders. Grier is a better WC Offense fit. If Grier isn't taken by Oakland, he's for sure going to NE.

And, yes, I'm contradicting myself from a few hours ago. Gruden likes Lock. He seems to like Grier even more.
