I totally agree with you DavidM as far as the realistic timetable or expectation for most rookie QBs, and to be clear, that was not my expectations for Grayson to come in and beat out Drew. However, I was expecting him to be in Chase Daniels role meaning competing and pushing Drew and beating out McCown by now....

Sill, it's always going to depend on the situation.
And I think the emphasis on "by now" is off because it has to either mean you expected Grayson to be Drew's backup in his rookie season, or you expected the coaches to announce the promotion of Grayson this season ahead of the completion of preseason.
Given that it's not unusual for teams to carry three QBs, and that Drew is now a 37 year old player, if they can manage it on the roster, circumstances might make it prudent to carry all three, anyway.
