Will Grier, the legend

[78]

Two running backs and Baker Mayfield are going to be in New York. I wouldn’t put any of them in that category.

What's the date read on your calendar? Mine says Oct. 22.

Barring season ending injuries, the three of them are a lock for New York. After that maybe they’ll give Lamar Jackson a courtesy invite as last year’s recipient.

Grier will have 47 touchdown passes by then. You'll be hearing plenty about him. So he doesn't get invited? The fact that he's included on a Heisman watch list (ESPN's) in his first season back juxtaposed against our woeful performance at the position is in and of itself a big story.

 

[oxrageous]

Heisman contender? Did he change his name to Barkley or Love or Mayfield? Hell, as of last week, Bovada didn’t even have him on the odds list, which had money lines as high as +15000.

Heisman voters don’t respect system QBs on mediocre teams who pad their stats and manage to squeak by winless teams. Once again, Clint Trickett passed for 300 a game in this offense FFS.

Well look who finally pipes up after weeks avoiding this thread!

You're an idiot. His pinball-machine numbers are going to do nothing but continue to go up. He'll lead the nation in TD passes with ease.

I understand the jilted-lover butthurt, but it's no reason to suspend reality.

 

[Captain Sasquatch]

I love how he was outperformed by Liberty’s QB against Baylor. Maybe he should be invited to New York, as well?

Do you really not think he's a good QB? He has a total of 12 starts under his belt. You're the self-proclaimed football expert, please tell us what you think of Will Grier's abilities as a passer instead of being a whiny hater.

Sas, just admit it. If Grier were still wearing a UF uni and putting up anywhere near the numbers he is, you'd be heading up his Heisman campaign. Why not just admit the obvious, that he's easily one of the top quarterbacks in the nation.

A single 5th place vote! Give him the trophy!

 

[oxrageous]

He's a better QB than Mayfield and Rudolph, and both of those guys are seniors.

He’s putting up big numbers in an offensive system that allowed Clint Trickett to do the same.

He wasn't even on the list a week ago. Where's the Liberty QB?

So we should discount Wuerffel's Heisman because he was a system QB, too?

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Barrett is ass also. Grier is far better.

 

[Zambo]

So if Grier doesn't win the Heisman, then there is nothing to talk about? Sheesh. The fact that this kid is playing for another team right now instead of the Gators is a travesty. He would have started 7-8 games for us last year had Mac kept him around, and we'd have practiced all spring and summer with him as the incumbent starter. There is no way we'd be in the pit we are in if he was taking the snaps here.

He'd put up big numbers anywhere that had a semicompetent OC. It's not the same and you know it.

If those were the rules, no Big 12 QBs would ever be eligible. Big 12 QBs always get love.

This has become the ultimate beat-a-dead-horse thread, and yet it's cathartic in a way. I feel better each time I vent. I think I'll start one over my ex-wife and post it in the laundry room at home.

He has himself to thank for being the colossal dumbass who got himself popped for PEDs in college, which is practically unheard of.

And you never made a single mistake when you were 20. Got it.

Yep. Lets kill him.

The penalty phase for that phuck up is long since past. He should still be here and he would be if Mac would have done what was necessary to keep him.

Nonsense. It's principle that matters. He needed to go, Callaway needed to stay.
