Have To Keep One: Nick Marshall or Corey Grant?

#41

I picked Corey Grant because when the page loaded it was closer to his name. The end, case closed. We keep Grant.

I chose Marshall, but I'm not a big fan of either as NFL contributors. To be frank I'd hope neither sniffs the roster next year. But Marshall changed positions and that takes a lot of work and the staff seems to like his potential, so I gave him the arbitrary nod due to my imagined work ethic on his part. Nothing against either player. I wish them both success.


That being said, we're deep at CB, so I'd probably rather keep a player at a different position.

As a cornerback, Marshall is kind of terrible. I don't see it at all with him.

Marshall.  I think he still has a learning upside at the CB spot, and may become a good player with patience.  Grant has speed, but is mediocre overall to me without much further upside.

I chose grant.

 

Marshall is a conversion whereas Grant is a natural RB. Making the switch from CB to QB is pretty tough especially going to the NFL. Also as much hate as grant seems to get he has made a few nice runs and has made a couple nice catch and runs on screens whereas Marshall has done nothing but look terrible.

 

I would rather keep rare speed at a position when no other RB we have is that fast vs decent athletics and poor technique at a position we have a lot of.

I feel the Nick Marshall experiment is quickly coming to an end.

Marshall.

 

In my perfect world, Marqise Lee would be returning kicks.

Marshall got abused last preseason game, against scrubs. Grant no question

^This.


 

I chose Grant because he has value as a kick returner. Admittedly the utility of the role decreases every year as the NFL keeps trying to eliminate the kickoff return. But for this year a kick returner can still be useful.


Marshall has shown nothing at CB. He's about 8th on the depth chart, and the only reason he was kept on the roster is that he had the physical ability to play CB. But he has not developed. In fairness to Marshall, the Jags haven't developed any of their young CBs or safeties, As I watch Cyprien, Gratz, Evans, McCray, Harris, Colvin, and Sample, none of them are noticeably better than they were early in their rookie years. So it is likely a coaching failure too. Whatever the reason, it's time to move on.



 

In reality, I think both will be cut. Greene returned kickoffs in the scrimmage, and did about as well as Grant, and see Teal Curtain's thread about Lee returning kicks. With the quality depth at WR, keeping an extra WR instead of an extra RB and having a WR return kicks would make more sense.

Marshall has way more upside, Grant at best will be a good KR, which is getting phased out the NFL, where as Marshall can return kicks/punts, play CB maybe S, and Wild cat QB

Mike Evans is a scrub? He was the only one abusing him, the other guys did not abuse him one guy made a quick out catch on him

Would he suck as badly at those positions as he does CB?  No thanks.

 

Because teaching him CB is the only reason he's around (and not for much longer judging by his "progress," or lack thereof, at the position.)

Evans is definitely no scrub, however, he's often overrated in conversations about WRs.


 

 

As for Grant vs Marshall, consider their impact on the team. Grant is their KR and he gives the offense options. A few times we've seen a quick dump off pass to him turn into an explosive play for 20 yards or more even though a couple of them have been called back on penalties. Marshall, on the other hand, occupies a roster spot for the most part. That's really about it.


 

Also don't forget...


 

Grant is really, really fast. Marshall is not.

That's what I would have chosen were it a selection.

 

We're not likely talking about a Brandon Marshall or Dan Connolly that's going to get squeezed off the roster and go start or star somewhere else.

I went with Marshall because he's still developing as a CB after being a QB in college. Grant is a one trick pony (speed).
