Jacob Eason… Come on down. Thoughts on his limited play?’

[jasonluckydog]

I liked that he actually threw the ball downfield, the int was just a bad bounce.

Could be playing Zappe right now lol 

 

[PghPanther]

hmm lets see.....

Corral injured

Darnold injured

Baker injured

PJ slammed in the head big time late 4th quarter this weekend

Anyone see a problem with throwing a practice squad player into that position?

I was high on the zapper. Yeah small school but dude was great even when he played with and against bigger schools after the season. Another big hit for NE.

They're not in a rush to put Mac Jones back in.

Wake me when we put together a cohesive half of football offensively. Not even a whole game, a good half from end to end.

Yeah 7.7 for 35 minutes is the high water mark.

Looked like the best QB of the last 2 years, not even joking..

Who gives a poo. He was a top high school recruit that went to a talented team and put up great numbers like he was suppose to. You bring this up and we go in circles. 
Auburn before Cam, LSU before Burrow, Oregon before Herbert, Tennessee before Manning, Texas Tech before Mahomes. The college doesn’t make the player.

Oh and don’t draft Levis because Kentucky produced Couch, The Hefty Lefty, and Cobb had to become a WR in the NFL.

I think it's the concept of having done more with less advantages.

It is a valid point. The windows all of a sudden are tighter and top of it your guy isn't getting the separation he was because everyone is fast.

Or the bottom dwelling team doesn't have anybody who can catch.

When a guy has an uphill battle in the first place, not the best linemen, not the best WRs, not the best TE, not the best running back, but as QB is leading this team, making their parts better as a whole!? 

That's your guy. That's who Corral was (1st string Corral not Rhule 3/4 squad Corral)as a QB and Levis is showing the same qualities on a non-powerhouse team (although he's looking a little different without his former OC), and being able to elevate other guys that "shouldn't even be there".

Corral had AJ Brown and Elijah Moore. His offense was designed where he knew where the ball was going before the snap or it was a RPO with only one or two passing options. This is why he struggled as a rookie. He has to learn how to sit back and go through progressions which is why he is considered a project QB. Also Ole Miss is looking just fine without him. That’s all Kiffin.

Yeah Stroud has a loaded team and he puts up insane numbers to match it. He sits in the pocket and goes through his reads. Burrow has an insanely loaded roster in college and put up big numbers Same for Mac Jones. It’s not like Stroud isn’t throwing against NFL CBs in the Big10. He checks every box you want in a QB.

If the question is Stroud or Young it's Stroud. The constantly shrinking QB isn't a trend a can relate to. Baker is two inches taller than Young and he's having his issues adjusting after five years. The NFL is hard enough as it is, you need every advantage, technical AND physical.

The question is adversity, there will be much more with a struggling NFL franchise that's in no way a frontrunner. Can he elevate that squad?

That’s fair, but it’s hard to hold it against him that he has played so well he has never really had to face adversity. It’s more of a question mark than a negative IMO. Even in their 2 losses last year he still played great.

To be fair, Tepper was standing over his shoulder in the draft confidential telling him "The time is now", and Rhule was like "I got Bill on speed dial I'll call him right now!", and Fitt was just like alright whatever lol

Why not let him start? Who honestly gives a sh*t? What if he’s awesome? But who the hell is going to back him up? PJ broke his neck, Mayfield broke his ankle, Darnold is pooping out his weener, Corral is dead, and Cam isn’t on the roster (yet)

You had me at “pooping out his weener.”
