re: I am concerned about Jacob Eason's arm

He's actually appeared to overthrow receivers as much if not more than underthrow them. That's been my observation, at any rate.

Was just about to say this. He's overthrown a few as well. His arm looks to have plenty of strength. He just needs to be more accurate.

I've seen him overthrow the short to medium passes...not so much the long passes. that's what had me concerned. You all could be right, though....it could be a matter of timing. When I played, it was difficult for me, as a receiver, to gauge the arm strength of the QB. I tended to underestimate the arm strength at the next level, and did not go as hard as I could until I got acclimated to it. It could be Eason is experiencing just the opposite and is underestimating the speed of his receivers.

Like I said....when he overthrows, it is usually on short to medium routes and when he underthrows it seems it is on long routes. However....I am not discounting what you guys are saying and believe that i could be overreacting. I mainly wanted to get the opinions of you guys, to see if you are getting a different idea. Some seem to be agreeing with me, and some disagreeing.
