Reich's daughter had zero to do with his hiring and it was purely coincidental that she was hired a week before her dad was.  Eason is practice squad material and that's it.   He's nowhere near the talent Corral is.  He's been cut by the Colts and Seahawks and has been on and off our practice squad.  

At the time of his signing, we had one QB on the Roster, Corral.  So, they resigned him to play along until we get our rookie and once a Vet is signed don't be surprised if we cut him again. 

Nothing more than fodder. 

Sure, man. Nothing at all to do with the fact her Dad was the next head coach of this football team. 

But yeah, Eason has twice the arm of Corral but he's erratic and inconsistent with it. I never said he was a star in the making, but for a supposed scrub he has had a lot of brushes with starting games. People love the arm strength and the prep history. Corral has the edge in mobility by miles and probably decision making as well, but I haven't seen enough of him in live action to comment any more than generalities. I think you're underrating him and the kid could be his PJ Walker for all we know.

Lol.

Easons arm is not. No zipp or pop on his throws like Corral, limited range and accuracy down field.

I know you don't think Eason is better than Corral?!

His daughter lives in the Carolinas and applied for a job in marketing.  She's been around football all her life and applied to the local team for a position.  As a hiring manager it would make sense to hire someone that has an understanding of what football is.    Why is it so hard to believe she couldn't get a job on her own.   PURELY COINCIDENTAL.

As Journey says, don't stop believing. I'm not saying she doesn't deserve the job, she's probably incredibly bright, but the interest in him coaching this team predates her hiring by a lot and there's nothing at all wrong with them hiring her as incentive for Reich to consider our opening here. I just don't think it's possible it was entirely unrelated.

Purely Coincidental.  I seriously doubt that Carolina used that as some sort of enticement for Reich.   His daughter just got a position on her own.  

We'll leave it at that, and you can keep your conspiracy theory.

I'm like a Sith in I don't deal in absolutes, but Jacob Eason's arm power made him one of the highest regarded prep quarterbacks in Rivals history. He has an absolute cannon for an arm, but the questions are everywhere else. For one, his mobility is well well under average for an NFL QB. They're trying to build a QB around this arm it's so special. Without speaking to throwing accuracy, mobility, leadership, and every other trait about quarterbacks that are requisite for success it could be argued successfully that Corral has those things in the matchup. However, Eason's arm is preposterous. It's barely worth debating.

Well, says fugin you right? How you can be so confident in certainty is super weird unless you hired her. But if it's important for you to maintain that delusion I won't poke at it anymore.

It may be so but he didn't show that brilliance in a Panther uniform. What I saw was very unimpressive. My thoughts were that a guy that lanky should have a stronger arm.

Matt Corral is a QB animal. His release, zip, accuracy, and also strong arm as well as escapability sets him apart from guys like Eason.

Not the same class of prospect or player. Corral hasn't played yet but from jump the NFL considers him a better prospect than Eason.

Neither Eason or MC9 are starters in this league.

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)

      Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.

      Young up for Player of the Week

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
