Wouldn't it be a great story if Eason started and actually looked good.  He also has pedigree at the QB position as he is the son of Tony Eason who was one of the 6 QBs taken in the famous 1983 draft class.

At 6'7" he definitely won't get as many passes batted down.  He might already be better than PJ, who IMO, is only on the roster because of Rhule's love for his former players. 

I thought the same thing...that Eason is the son of Tony Eason of the 1987 draft.  While his father is Tony Eason...I don't believe it is the NFL Tony Eason.

Oh the results are likely to be similar no matter what we do. Our path is probably pretty secure for 2022.

I have no blind hatred for Darnold. I just know and knew he was not an NFL QB or even capable of being one. He showed that in NY and confirmed without a doubt that fact here in Carolina. 

Don't get me wrong I was never on board with trading for Darnold.  He's a USC product, you never want to go there. But it wouldn't surprise me if he couldn't string together a few quarters of nfl looking play. Whatever is going on with Baker doesn't look like it's going to fix itself.  Poor Wilks took on a no win situation.

Key Words "As many" 

Baker probably leads the NFL in batted passes.

He does but being short is less of an issue than being predictable or just making bad decisions. The fact that his passes are so sky high(also much higher than they have ever been in his career) is a pretty good indicator there is something wrong with the offense.

Baker is a part of the problem but not all the problem.

I don't ever care to see Darnold play in this uniform again, really regardless of the circumstances. It's a literally hopeless situation. 

Baker and the offense aren't likely to fix themselves either but we perhaps we eventually can McAdoo during the season and at least give someone else some job experience as a playcaller.

I don't see how they can get rid of McAdoo at this stage of the season. I mean they could I suppose but I think that would make a bad situation worse. There's no real solution to fixing this FUBAR this season.  Brother this season is only going to be an audition for everyone to get another job with the next coach or another team. So sit back and see who steps the rest of way. That's all we have to look forward to. Anything beyond that is gravy.

Yeah, I don't see this ship righting itself. It will be interesting to see what transpires.

What if Eason ends up being good? I always believed that there are QBs that would be good if they were just given the chance. Also I believe some QBs could be good but just need time to develop. 2-3 years isn’t enough, for example it took Alex smith  over 5 years to develop into a top 10 qb.

      Clowney on Bryce Young

      i love people with no medical experience making tenuous assumptions based on, uh, the fact his dad sucked in every practical lab in med school and had to go into psychiatry its fun to think of what these same fans would be saying with any other profession "well his dad was a cardiologist so obviously he knows how to stay calm." "well his dad was a neurologist so oviously he keeps his brain waves at a low level and isn't at risk of seizure, which is good (obviously)." "well his dad is a surgeon so he knows how to overcome his lack of confidence over height." "well his dad was a pediatrician so that's why he looks like a child, but kids don't get injured easily and have limitless potential so-"

      Oh it’s made the decision easier knowing we were years away from competing. He just obviously didn’t think it was some sort of clown show as he took a job with that staff and still hangs around to help. Injuries were the major concern. Willis retired “early” as well, plus there was another very young LB in SF that did. Positions that take a lot of impact are starting to not push themselves too late in their careers to protect their long term health.

      Obviously his health was the reason but the state of the team definitely helped. Luke doesn't strike me as someone who cares about individual accomplishments much at all. He loved the game and he wanted to win with the Panthers.  He wouldn't risk his life to go chase a ring elsewhere. It was difficult for him to step away from a team that was bad, if the Panthers were serious contenders I really think he would have tried to see it through.  Everything worked out the way that it was meant to in the end. It was sad seeing his career cut short but if he had a suffered a serious injury from football I can't even imagine. EDIT: To be clear I don't think the medical staff was part of his decision at all. It just helped that the team was far from winning a SB when he bowed out.
