The Grier Effect

[Anotherwvufan]

Lots of Hype for Grier this year. High hopes for the Mounties this season.



College football top 25 rankings: Alabama on top post-spring, new coaches see rapid results

Short story, Mounties #18 post spring

Leaders and sleepers of the early 2018 Heisman odds

Short story Grier 12-1 odds to take the Heisman. Only 4 players better than he is.

The way Alabama plays offense that QB has no shot...

 

[GoldRusher]

Beat UT, put up good numbers, maybe a comeback win similar to his UF days.

Beat NC State, good numbers.

Then...we get into some of these Big12 shootouts and... who knows, maybe we have a QB going for the Heisman .

Those first 2 OOC games would be a GREAT start.

Expect a rise and fall similar to 2012 for our QB... and our team!

Way overhyped heading into the year.

Most advanced stats look at a 5 or 6 win season for WVU in '18.

While I do agree with the assessment on offense. I still the defense really as bad as 2012? I don’t think and I think they know what to expect from the conference as usual.

2012 had no defense. This team does. Two HUGE pick ups with grad transfer DL. LBS are solid, so secondary depth will be the issue on D.

Yeah... I was being facetious.

I started a thread about my optimism for the upcoming season.

West Virginia Until further notice, Will Grier is the nation's best quarterback. How about 429 yards and five touchdowns against Tennessee? The defense was surprisingly stout holding the Vols to less than 300 yards.

Will Grier tore up Pro Day.........generated a lot of Buzz...no less than a #2 pic

 

[Anotherwvufan]

Some Mock drafts have him going to the Patriots to be Tom Shady's future replacement. That would be a good landing spot for him, even though I am no Patriot fan.

Barely a #3 pick

I would have liked to see Yadny go to Carolina and Will go to the pats.

I do not like Wills landing spot. He will have a battle to become the backup to a former MVP who may still have 10 years of playing time in front of him.

I stand by my prediction that Will will never start a game again. Unless he decides to move to Canada.

Kiper seems to think he'll be #2 and see the field because Cam is hurt so much.

Well interesting day for the WV...5 players taken, Surprised to see the Big 12 Defensive player of the year go in the 6th round?...how does Sills go undrafted?

According to scouts he's way too slow and has small hands.

4 signed as UFA last I looked.

hogwash, absolute hogwash. shame on every team in the league for not using one of their picks on Sills. He's going to be a starter in the NFL, i have no doubt.
