Bucky Brooks said that Eason could build some buzz when scouts see him at the NFL Combine. "You've got people still kicking themselves for not selecting Patrick Mahomes. They will be looking to not make that mistake again."Jeremiah added: "At the combine, look for Eason to put on a show. He had some ups and downs this year, but he can really spin it."
Imagine thinking someone with Eason's mobility is the next Pat Mahomes.
I'm convinced everyone associated with the NFL are completely retarded, from coaches down to scouts.
Minshew will have a longer career than Eason, book it
I'm convinced everyone associated with the NFL are completely retarded, from coaches down to scouts. They are so FS and overthink things. Mitchell Trubisky went ahead of Mahomes and Watson. Josh Allen went #7. He had a decent year, but I guarantee he’s a disaster at some point. QB’s are still where they fuck up the most. Just pick the guy that did best in college and most the time you will get the better QB. They get so stuck on physical traits and talking themselves into believing they can make a player good. Eason might not be completely horrible in the NFL, but I guarantee he won’t ever win shit. A QB with limited mobility and bad pocket presence is not going to do good in the NFL. I wouldn’t touch him.
NFL draft = underwear Olympics If Eason looks good under artificial conditions and drills then he'll be a first rounder. That's the way it works. NFL owners and GM's typically jerk off over looks and fantasy potential because they want to be validated as a genius to their peers.

They all look good throwing the ball on air with no pass rush. He still could go higher than he should. He probably even will, but despite whatever is reported about his pro day, it doesn’t really matter.
I agree Hondo, but air raid QB’s had typically struggled in the NFL. Now it doesn’t matter as much. Mahomes did put up crazy numbers tho and his athleticism is really good, so a scout who studies this stuff should have been able to figure out that the kid was pretty fucking good.The worst thing is genuinely believing Trubisky was better than Watson. Watson played in the same conference and was better by the eye test, stats, winning, etc. He played great against Alabama two years in a row when no other QB’s had. He’s far from the best QB in the league, but he’s a good one and it shouldn’t be surprising to anyone. How the fuck could a GM or owner sign off on Trubisky over Watson? Anyone that watched either play knew Watson was better.

Anyone that watched either play knew Watson was better. Yeah exactly. It's hard to pick up who is going to do well in the NFL. College windows are bigger, pockets bigger, athletes slower, etc. Mahomes also got the benefit of sitting for a year, which I think Eason will need. What's funny about trubisky, even after a couple years in the NFL, people still said he was a good QB.

It probably helps to have a better understanding of the playbook, but if you can play, you can play. I get your point, but I just think that’s some shit coaches and gm’s say when it works. Other QB’s sit and they still suck. He would have been good as a rookie. It would have been tough to bench Alex Smith because he was leading them to the playoffs every year.

It wasn’t so much sitting for a year but more that he went to a team with a good roster. Most guys go to shit teams and are forced to play immediately with shit talent around them.I keep seeing mock drafts with the Chargers taking Herbert. That’s not a bad situation for a rookie considering they have Keenan Allen as the number 1 WR and still have Melvin Gordon at RB although he’s probably gone in free agency. Compare that Joe Burroughs going to the Bengals. Joe Mixon is good and you have Husky legend John Ross but he’s been hurt or otherwise inactive for most of his 2 years.
