I sure hope you and Brint are kidding or wrong. Graves had two carries for three yards vs MSU this year. 7 for 18 with a long of 10 for the year. He didn’t record a tackle. Anderson has 10 carries for 64 and two tds in 2017; 23 for 107 and three tds in 2018. Anderson had a sack last year and the year before despite barely playing defense. If Graves is the closest thing we have to him then we’re in a world of hurt.krammer said:

Where will Graves be used?
- Thread starter GlacierGrizX
- Start date
Who cares if the Griz have a multi-purpose and position player? I'd much rather have a real qb and one that can pass at qb. I see no reason for a Griz qb to play multiple positions. Graves is a good athlete. He isn't going to be the starting qb. I can't imagine he will be the starting running back. Has he even played any defense at UM? I'm all for discussing where Graves will play.

To me, his best position long term would be a big slot receiver in offenses like Stitt runs. Not sure where he would fit in Rosie’s offense.PlayerRep said:

“We”? Do the Bobcats have a kid named “Graves” too? Did his lil bro go to lil bro U?getgrizzy said:
I'm betting we see him rise to a starter somewhere on this team by the end of season. Not exactly sure where, as he seem pretty versatile, but not really honed at QB. Could be QB, could be RB or receiver. Might even end up on D, but from what I've seen from watching a few practices and his high school film as well as a few games in person, the coaches will find the right spot for him somewhere. Just don't let him rot on the bench if he's not a QB.

I would say Eastwood could still be a very explosive running back as well. He flashed signs of high talent, hes still just young.

I know he's had a fumble in practice, and in a scrimmage, but I haven't seen him fumble in practice. My guess is that the coaches are making sure he doesn't fumble, or fumble much. This kid is a player. Griz fans are going to like him. Anyone want to make a bet with me on this kid?

Lots of discussion about this after Spring Scrimmage. So far, including high school, Graves has a grand total of 21 starts as a QB. (I read that somewhere). Clearly not competing with Sneed, so why not keep him as a QB and use him in a variety of ways...rb, wildcat etc. And let him develop. Maybe he makes it. maybe he doesn't, but I don't think he has a fraction of the qb coaching that any of the other Griz qb's do. I doubt any class B high school is going to have legit qb coaching. The scrimmage also didn't let the qb's show mobility etc. Graves seems to be much better when able to move and run. Harris made some nice throws, but I have to wonder why he doesn't get the reps. I'm told at practice he gets very few as well.
