"Panthers invite the general public for QB tryouts" 

within the article........

" Wilks stated, "Its something innovative, exciting and Tepper agreed its our best shot at finding a healthy backup to Eason come this Sunday." Many with the NFL front office are questioning the move while the Panthers organization are busy ordering 100s of new game jersey's with "your name here" on the back for the anxious participants when they show up at Bank of America stadium on Weds afternoon to test their savviness as they compete for the position. "We have former small college QBs, ex high school players and even some people who played in Pop Warner all ready to shake off the rust and test their stuff against others", Wilks elaborated.

Concern about how soon one of them could learn the Panthers playbook within days after being selected to be dressed for this Sunday's game against Tampa, Wilks stated, "It's no problem..........hell McAdoo doesn't know what the hell he's doing and I don't know a thing about offensive plays in the NFL so why would it matter if this new backup QB would know anything?"

Tryouts start on Weds at 1pm sharp........participants will receive a free parking voucher along with a steak and ketchup lunch after completing their tryout. The results will be announced on WFNZ radio during the 7pm sports update.

Jacob Easons passes looked slow to me. What should have been bullets were a beat behind and looked alarmingly pickable.

Scary. I didn't see anything special.

 

He has a cannon. That’s not the thing to worry about. They looked like good balls to me. 
 

Added bonus…his throws passed the line of scrimmage too. 🔥 🔥 🔥

I suspect that if Eason were farther along in the playbook he would have been elevated over PJ before now whether PJ was injured or not. PJ is one of Rhule's guys remember. 

As soon as Darnold is healthy he will either start or backup Eason until Sam is up to game shape. PJ will go to the practice squad or the unemployment line. Wilks just doesn't believe PJ belongs on the team and frankly neither do I.

Yeah, i think if Baker hadn't have gotten hurt PJ would have been unemployed after the SF game.

Since the Panthers are at the bottom of the league in total offense, third-down conversion rate, big plays, 30th in red zone offense, and 29th in passing offense and yards per play, I would like to see them give Jacob Eason a shot at starting.

It is obvious that the team is heading to finish near the bottom of the league this season and will be looking to select a QB in Round #1. Eason is probably not our answer as the starting QB the team sorely needs but with his rocket for an arm, he could bring some excitement to a team that is boring to watch.

They have nothing to lose at this point and a lot to gain if Eason can show some of the talent and outstanding promise he had in high school and college before he was forced to move from school to school and several NFL teams for various reasons.

I played QB in high school many years ago, so this could be the break i have always dreamed of. 🙂

    • This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one. 
    • I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question. 
    • Same thing I first thought but then I saw it was against Jacksonville and took about half a second of playing to know. I was at that game.  I can't tell you my level of excitement when I saw it was Delhomme instead of Peete who came out for the 2nd half. Delhomme has and will probably always be my favorite Panther.
