Seahawks shoulda signed Haener instead

Shouldn’t Eason still be at UW? Given last year was a free year, he should be running this offense. He’s played two seasons of college football.
Someone gave his ass some really bad advise… -
I'm not sure how two additional years of not being able to read a defense or understand a playbook would've helped him. He's lucky he got his fourth round money and maybe has the chance to latch on as a career backup.NeGgaPlEaSe said:Shouldn’t Eason still be at UW?

Eason is pulling more tail than Pup in his VW bus and holding a clipboard to get paid
Where did he go wrong? -
UW hasn't had a good QB coach in ages, why would he be any better now than he was two years ago had he stayed here?NeGgaPlEaSe said:Shouldn’t Eason still be at UW? Given last year was a free year, he should be running this offense. He’s played two seasons of college football.

It takes a special kind of delirious to look at this John Donovan offense for the last two years and say in retrospect that Eason should've STAYED.dnc said:

Things were set up for a home run in 2019.
Myriad of reasons why it was a long foul ball but Eason was part of it -
His career trajectory appears to be practice squad, followed by out of the league entirely within 1-2 years.RaceBannon said:Eason is pulling more tail than Pup in his VW bus and holding a clipboard to get paid

Damon lasted almost a decade as a back up

They will draft him in the 7th next yearWoolleyDoog said:Seahawks shoulda signed Haener instead

Damon lasted almost a decade as a back up
15-12 record as a starter.
Natty ring and 2 SB rings.
Damon had a pretty damn solid career, especially for an undrafted QB. -

In 92 UW was playing Oregon State which would be the only win of the last 4 games after Billygate. They had a huge lead and Damon got to play and threw a long TD to Theron "Thrill" Hill and in the stands we were like - ok we're good. We'll be back.dnc said:

Brock was even higher rated and in a vacuum probably more talented but Damon was tougher

I remember that game well.RaceBannon said:

Damon and Hill and my guy Jason Shelley bode great things for the future.
Little did we know.
Brock definitely had better arm talent but Damon was a fighter. Hopefully Sam has some of that fight in him. He definitely has more talent than his pops did. -
I know you're being sarcastic, but Jake is in mid-season at Fresno State.WoolleyDoog said:Seahawks shoulda signed Haener instead

During the post-game presser, Damon Huard was sitting in Don James' seat. James chased him off and said something like, "You make one good play and suddenly you think you're a star."RaceBannon said:

Apologies if it’s been discussed before but can a more old timer explain to me how and why Damon Huard went undrafted? Especially at a time when QB play was a lot more simple and pointed towards immobile guys.

It's a good question, his 95 stats were actually pretty good, especially for that era.WoolleyDoog said:Apologies if it’s been discussed before but can a more old timer explain to me how and why Damon Huard went undrafted?

Guessing he just didn't wow anybody at the combine. -
Damon looked pretty polished when he came in. What he turned out to be, though, was more of a sloppy, scrappy QB who looked ugly but could be pretty effective. He didn't throw pretty balls like Brock but managed to get them there. He was slow as fuck but a pretty effective scrambler.WoolleyDoog said:Apologies if it’s been discussed before but can a more old timer explain to me how and why Damon Huard went undrafted?

I saw why he didn't get drafted. He made a career though because guys like him make excellent backup QBs. -
You have to be a special kind of shitty to be drafted in the 4th round with a "ton of potential" only to be cut in your 2nd round. Doubt he lasts with the Hawks either. The one throw I saw with him on the Colts was so hysterical/bad it made the Haener vs Cal interception look like the Flutie bomb.
