Ehh, it’s Eason’s job to get on the field. I’m sure they are working with him as much as possible. But he was a project when they drafted him. Covid definetly hurt his preseason snaps. I would say he should have stayed in school, but covid almost cancelled the pac 12 season. I guess he still would have gotten more work there.
Two things Reich always talks about concerning QBs is mental processing and accuracy. Those are the two most important traits to him that a QB should have.
Also the league is trending towards mobile QBs. Guys that can extend the play and create when the play breaks down. Russel Wilson, Allen, Mahomes. Not a guy that’s going to run for a TD. But a guy that can avoid the rush for a few seconds and find a receiver.
