Jacob Eason… Come on down. Thoughts on his limited play?’

49’ of his 59 yards came from CMC YAC. 

Yeah batted ball for any of our other qbs.

I'd cut PJ today if I were in charge. He may be a nice guy but he is truly a waste of a roster spot. He simply cannot play QB at the NFL level.

 I'd use Eason next week if Baker and Sam are unable to play. If he played well I'd ride with him the rest of the season. We know Baker and Sam won't both be back next year. I can't see either of them returning as starters. Matt is the only QB we have under contract. Eason can get some valuable playing time and we can get a good chance to evaluate him. If he's decent we can use him as a spot starter/backup when we draft our QB in the first round next year.

Why not let him start? Who honestly gives a sh*t? What if he’s awesome? But who the hell is going to back him up? PJ broke his neck, Mayfield broke his ankle, Darnold is pooping out his weener, Corral is dead, and Cam isn’t on the roster (yet)

I an actually pretty amazed that anyone still debates the QB situation.

At this point is it not painfully obvious that no QB is going to succeed with this offense?

McAdoo keeps conclusively proving he is not an NFL caliber OC.

To be fair, the offense looked significantly different yesterday, and arguably even more so once Eason stepped in.

I'd at least give him a look.

Here I go again, getting my hopes up yet again only to likely be let down when he plays next week and throws like 4 picks.. But man, I would be lying if I said he didn’t look miles better than PJ. Yes against a soft, garbage time defense but even still, 6 foot freaking 6 and he was slinging darts, it wasn’t only that but he seemed to pass the eye test, looked comfortable and not scared and showed good poise in the pocket. 
 

Just some perspective, he basically had more passing yds (or close to it) in 30 seconds then PJ had all game. 

Considering Darnold, Mayfield and Walker shouldn't be anywhere near Charlotte next season, why not let him play? Sam could be back soon, but WTH not see if Eason can be a serviceable backup until that happens?

Making sure that he takes less that 70% of the snaps this season!

To the tune of 10 points and 203 yards?

Pray tell, what was the significant difference?

Motion, misdirection, use of McCaffrey among other things.

Having a quarterback that you actually trust to throw a pass would be the next big difference.

Yeah and how did that all work out?

I don't think you get extra credit for finding a new way to be bad on offense.

About as well as I would have expected given who the starting quarterback was.

Do we bring back Baker to compete next year, perhaps be the backup? I am thinking maybe, IF he shows significant improvement the remainder of this season. 

Probably not. The veteran QB on the roster next year needs to understand his primary job is to be a mentor to the first round rookie we draft. I just don't see Baker being comfortable in that role.

Wake me when we put together a cohesive half of football offensively. Not even a whole game, a good half from end to end.

Nowhere will you find me predicting greatness.

Am I in favor of giving Eason a chance though? Yeah, there's an argument to be made for that.

Mind you, it's not necessarily about giving him an audition to be a starter as it is seeing whether he's worth keeping around for another year. Especially given that the only quarterback currently on next year's roster is Matt Corral.

Last time that happened was with CMC, Joe Brady, and Sammy. And that's not exactly a ringing endorsement of 2 of those guys......

Something tells me Brady will pop back up soon enough elsewhere.
