not if i was voting. my hopes for them are actually improved with Eason at the helm. also having Adams and Bryant healthy, not to mention Puka coming in at WR means the O should be HUGELY improved. which they might desperately at least until we see someone emerge as a reliable starter at the ILB, pass rusher, and DT positions (besides Onzwurike). not that there arent some good candidates (Taimani, Tryon in particular).

Yeah Eason and his 55.2 career completion percentage and 119.7 rating should be a lot better than Browning was with his 64.6 completion percentage and 150.5 rating.

as Pete says, stats are for losers. credit to browning for maximizing his talent, being far superior to his predecessors, etc. he's a very good game manager, except for a couple plays a game where he thought he was Russell Wilson. but as Millen detailed, corners routinely sat on receivers' short and intermediate routes because of his lack of arm strength. if he did throw over the top, it had a loft so there was time to recover. And watch for greater Yards After Catch with the balls hummed out by Eason as opposed to last three years when we held our breath every time Jake fluttered it outside, praying the ball gets there before the DB.
