I think Eason is on track for 22 but don't see him starting in 21 unless injuries happen
Cant argue there. I think you're probably on the right track....I'm just speculatin and injecting personal preference.
If we bring in a darnold or a trubisky tho I think it's an open competition with Eason in training camp. And if that's the case I wonder what the point of bringing them in in the first place would be.
I'd still prefer that to the Matt Ryan's of the world tho.

Youd rather have Newton over Carr or Trubisky or Darnold?
Idk. I dont honestly dont think there's all that much difference. Carr would probably be the best but hes just not "exciting".
I think Darnold is broken mentally and who knows why the 2020 Bears sat an undefeated Mitchell.
The reason I'm interested in Cam is bc hes another year removed from shoulder surgery. I believe he can improve as a passer this upcoming year.
I try not to succumb to recency bias and I liked him before the injury....last year he had 12 rushing TDs so the O was able to produce between the 20s......I'm not high on him but compared to the field at least its be interesing.......
Right now I think it'll Eason tho. And I find that to be something to look forward to.

If he was ever to come back it would be now. 2 years for the body to heal, full preseason to ramp up.....Colts are a vastly improved team, specially in respect to the o line.....great (imo) backfield, pretty good D......I wouldnt be shocked if he broke retirement.
I don't expect it. I do think this is the last year its possible, but it wouldn't shock me if he came back. Full disclosure, be very happy! Those that "dont want him back" cuz he might quit again......it'd be no different than the solidity that jacoby or rivers brought us, and itd be super fun....
If I live to see it, I just want next year to be "exciting". Now that Stafford is in L.A. Give me Winston, Fitz, maybe Cam or Eason. Guys like Carr, Dalton, Darnold, Wentz(?), Foles, Ryan, Mitch.....i'd rather watch an interesting failure than a milktoast one.
Side note: anyone else notice how much press eason has been doing?

In his defense.. Hot Rod could've had us tied also...ugh. tough loss
Nah frank blew it. Missed fgs are common. Leaving pints on the board and situational awareness are Frank's shortcomings. Live by them die by them.

Still in it. Just need a good drive to end the half. Get a good opening drive the 2nd half........it looks too east for Tenn right now tho

First big opportunity. No bonehead plays, please!

Way too much time left for me to get comfortable.

Can we please capitalize on this one!

When comparisons of Saquon are on this board (2018 rookie of the year) and predictions of 1200+ yards rushing. I think a take of being very underwhelming is warranted.
Key phrase "on this boad". The most hyperbolic place in the multiverse......its ok to be underwhelmed but setting your expectation based on a message board with less than half a season actually played seems like jumping the gun. Kid's 21 and admits his vision isn't up to his own standard. Who gives a * who message boards compare him to?

Is it a weak take though? This board was literally comparing him to Saquan Barkley... not to mention the Giants bottom tier Oline vs. Colts top Tier Oline.
Everyone said he was an upgrade to Mack, in every aspect. I looked past my bias and actively rooted for Taylor (even have him in my main fantasy league) but man he looks more like an UDFA than a 2nd round pick.
Dude's played 7 games, give him some time. He could develop ot he could bust, far too early to have any "take" imo.

Sounds like a negotiating tool. If retiring was #1 on his list he'd just retire, right?
Plus he made it easy on the organization by starting implying he doesnt want to play anywhere else. Its having the desired effect on the fanbase though.
I'd expect a bump in salary/signing bonus/incentives and we see him in a Colts uni next year with his replacement playing behind him (maybe next year?).
Cant blame him for being frustrated tho. Luck set us back a few years (for the record, I don't blame luck for retiring either).

When reading that and how mentally he was not prepared it does show that having a season to take a breath and now go in to next season as the starter will be huge for him. Everyone wants to just ignore the fact he was not expecting this happen. He is a easy guy to want to root for. That’s why some us really want him to succeed. To the poster who mentioned all the different coaches he has had isa great point. If he can now have a stable coaching staff with Reich maybe he can actually develop now.
He took every rep in the preseason, and it's a backups job to prepare as though he were the starter. I'm not saying he cant develop but we shouldnt ignore his body of work.

Ohhhh forgot about teddy..... ...good call

I think Jacoby earned the saints game at least. Win or lose. We're a longshot for a playoff berth, but I think you play as though you intend to have a make that happen.
If we're mathematically eliminated, which will probably (not definitely) be the case after N.O. playing Kelly wont cause any controversy. We'll be on a 4(?) game skid, out of playoff contention, and itll be seen as just taking a look at our guys predraft.
And somebody needs to he really nice to Cam when hes in the building........

Next time I'll check with you before I post . I brought it up as it's far from "common place" for a player to be dragged to the ground by his jersey and not see it called. No Spilt milk nor do I even blame the refs for the loss. Was well officiated other than that crazy no call.
So sensitive. I just answered why I thought nobody was mentioning it.
If we brought up every no call holding penalty across 32 teams every weekend (byes outstanding) we'd never cover anything else. And that obvious no call is unfortunately far from commonplace.
Please, No need to check with me, I'm just a normal dude watching the same games you are. Post whatever youd like, i actually enjoy reading them. I actually enjoyed yours enough to respond.
Getting in a twist if someone engages with your opinion is a recipe for frustration tho.

Why is he expected to turn it around against N.O.? Legit question, I have no idea. Receiving targets healthy by then? It can't be that the saints D is worse than Tampa's.... definitely not that our D should be expected to carry the load?
It's not "turning it around" so much as I believe he deserves a chance to go up against a legit contender and have the opportunity to change the minds of those that doubt him and validate those that supported him throughout (myself included). Or prove the opposite. I'm not really that invested in him. I want the best possible player on the field.
I wont make excuses for what the team refuses to (injuries) and I want to see him against better competition, not lesser.
Hes earned his spot here, after this game, show me kelly. My feelings on it are pretty simple.

After the Saints game. Jacoby deserves that one. Gives him a chance to go out on a great performance. Wont likely affect our playoff chances (win or lose). After that, yea, I'd want to take a look.

I can't believe no one has mentioned the insane hold on Winstons last TD pass. I believe it was Sheard that it was performed on. I really had mixed emotions on whether I wanted a win or a loss, but honest to God that hols was actually comical. O lineman on the left side of the line , grabbed Sheard's jersey as he was blowing by. He held on and dragged him down from behind , hanging on to the jersey for dear life. If you have the game taped , have a look. It's insane a player actually got away with that.
Everyone saw it. It wasnt called, why bring it up? Spilt milk. Holding in the trenches is commonplace. Sometimes called, this case not. Incredibly obvious though, you're right about that.
I'm more concerned there are mixed emotions about winning a professional sporting event.......
