Sweet. Can you describe it for those of us who don't instagram? -

If we got the good Brissett that we have seen little of I would have no problem. But can we trust the future on an unknown? To be honest I never got why Frank not one time give JB the green light on throwing a pass. There was a couple of times he should have put the ball in the air. The element of surprise was never used. -
Fair enough. IMO though, if anything stunted Eason development with us it probably wasn't covid, it was playing behind a bonafide starter who never misses games in Philip, and a solid veteran backup in Jacoby. He probably didn't any reps in practice, other than as a scout portraying the other team's guy. The team drafted Jacob in the 4th round, and dispatched former "Mr Irrelevant" Chad Kelly in favor of him. He was #3 and inactive all season, but kept on the 53 man roster never exposed to possibility of be poached from our practice squad, ala Jared Veldheer - that, more than anything probably raised people's expectations for him, I know it did for me. I'm glad we never got to find out, but I wonder what would've happened with Eason had either Philip or Jacoby gotten hurt & missed time, or if Brissett were traded to some QB hungry team during the season: would he have then been elevated to the backup role, or would Ballard have acquired some journeyman QB to fill that role - had it been the latter, then maybe we would all view Jacob as merely a project who needs much more seasoning, vice a potential starter or backup. In all of my stated preferences that Jacob be given an opportunity to compete for the starting job, it was always with the caveat that we also have a veteran QB who could potentially start games backing him up as a safety net, kinda like Fitzpatrick was for Tua & Miami. -
You guys should go watch Reece Fountains instagram stories. He has videos of some of the practices and the scrimmage they had LOS. Eason omg.
