Personally, I don't understand why they have no faith in Jacob Eason. It's a similar feeling I have with Chad "Swag" Kelly two years ago, where, after they got eliminated from the playoffs, they stuck with Brissett instead of playing Kelly. Yet, they kept Kelly on the roster despite having zero intentions of making him active in the final two games, with Reich providing bullshit reasons justifying the nebulous state of keeping him inactive instead of just cutting him; like, if you know the guy sucks, but you are out of contention, why not just try? Worst case scenario is you get a better draft pick.
And that's my thoughts on Jacob Eason.
I get that everyone else is fully developed and they don't want to end up with another Scott Tolzien situation where they start with a guy who turns out to be a complete moron (and what they've seen in training camp is not promising), but that's what you get with starting Brett Hundley, whom we have on our depth chart; a known failure. But, the guy didn't have training camp last year and had no chance of playing time whatsoever, so of course he's gonna be sloppy. Frankly, I'd give Eason the shot. If he sucks, he sucks, and you get rid of him and try someone else. I just don't want to end up with another Swag Kelly where they tease me with the promise of someone getting a shot, but always denying him.
