ESPNU radio this morning was crushing Grier for his decision, saying a QB sitting out makes no sense, because (a) the system they play he never gets hit and (b) the types of questions GMs ask QBs, this will 100% hurt his draft stock. Greg McElroy said the question he was most asked in the draft lead up was whether he loved football or what football had given him, and that that was a very common question of QBs, because (as we've discussed with Aaron Rodgers) arm talent only gets you so far at that position. For a guy who already screwed over one team by getting busted for PEDs to then do this to the team that gave him a second chance, on top of being able to answer that question, they were in agreement that while they totally get Ed Oliver not going out there to play Army's cut blocking, that they thought Will Grier was making a terrible decision for his draft stock, no matter how you feel about players skipping bowls.
Ron Dayne said something similar to my thought, why the bowl game? Even if you are going to do that, why not the last few games if you are just a .500ish team?
