Default Eason/Ehlinger

We got to see both of these guys play. What do you think? For me, Eason will never be the runner Ehlinger is. I don't care really, I don't like a QB whose best asset is his legs. I am not sure that Ehlinger can put any zip on the ball, I didn't see any today. Playing against first team defensive players is tough when you don't have a fast ball, those guys react fast. On the other hand, Eason has a gun but is a statue back there. That's tough against a real pass rush. He looked much better with the no huddle. Frank ran that almost exclusively for a time in Buffalo. I'm wondering if that is something we will see more of. Not much separation yet to me.

Yeah, I'm not too sure about a game manager with a weakish arm (Ehlinger).
I would rather have the guy with the big arm and develop him.

Can we merge them? Would have a pretty good QB then.

Yeah, they are diametrically opposite as players.

Atleast the guy with the big arm will keep the safeties back and free up running lanes

That INT from Ehlinger was a pretty poor decision - worse than any I saw from Eason. It wasn’t just the weak arm.

I was actually somewhat encouraged by what I saw from Eason. He looked like an NFL quarterback. Admittedly a lower tier one though. But one I think they could stay in games with with good OL play. Unfortunately the LT spot is going to cost this team until Fisher is ready.
