His arm is around average at best velocity wise. He makes the most of it with a quick release and set up but floats a lot , especially to the sideline. Similar to Rudolph actually in that his deep ball has great placement and he's generally accurate but his actual arm is meh.  He can play in the NFL with it and do well but it's something you have to scheme around.    

He loves throwing off his back foot reagrdless of the situation and although some of these plays end up spectacular, it's not conducive to success in the NFL. A lot of his picks in college are a product of that. Way more fixable than the arm issue but it's a bad habit for sure.

He's pretty maxed out traits wise. The Grier we have now isn't likely to change too much. That's a good thing because he's already relatively advanced with the small details and provides a good floor but also bad because his growth will mostly be based on the scheme and talent he gets to play in. Compared to someone like Haskins who is a bit more raw but has oodles more traits to grow into.


And that's all to say I'm still a big Grier fan, probably watched around 25 of his games for a deep dive I wanna write on him but the limitations are there too.

The myth about Grier having a weak arm is kinda funny.   Here is a play from this weekend where he throws it 43 yards on a line when pressured and getting drilled as soon as he releases the ball.   He makes those throws on the regular and usually hits them in stride.  He can have enough zip on the ball in short passes as well when needed.  To say what ever team drafts him will have to scheme around his weak arm strenth is laughable.  Sounds like you have been on to much twitter.

Just watched every pass again from his last game and seen him throw off his back foot twice.  One he was back peddling to elude the defenders and the other there was a defender in his face and he got drilled as he threw and it was a strike for a TD.  Will you post some of these throws off the back foot when he isnt pressured?  So his limitations are the myth of a weak arm, he throws off his back foot, and he is maxed out as a player?  Come on man I thought you would come with some facts and something better than that
