Eason is a statue and doesn’t have great pocket movement or awareness. But he throws a beautiful ball and the entire field is open to him. He can be a little too strong with the throw.

Ehlinger processes a little faster and gets the ball out. Eason needs a second longer, but he can throw deeper with that second.

Eason looked good on the 2 minute drill when he didn’t have to think as much. Ehlinger looked good on the final drive of the game.

Eason probably has the higher upside, but if Ehliger strengthens his arm he could be pretty good.

Pick your poison

Good analysis.

I agree from what I saw, but if Ehlinger hasn't been able to strengthen his arm to this point, is it all that possible he can?

Drew Brees did it. Not sure how. But he did it as a pro.

He improved his core strength. At least that's what he credits, and it makes sense given the importance of core strength to throwing a football with power.
