Seattle Seahawks: Jacob Eason’s NFL Journey comes full circle

The third time is not a charm.
As game day slowly approached, the conversation of Hundley getting playing time grew louder. Misstep number three. The Colts team starts putting together a game plan utilizing both Eason and Hundley. When was the last time you saw an NFL team create a game plan using two quarterbacks?
For Indianapolis, the answer is when Chuck Pagano was the head coach and both Andrew Luck and former Seattle Seahawks legend Matt Hasselbeck out for the year. Indianapolis faced off against Tennessee, with Josh Freeman and Ryan Lindley under center. Miraculously, winning the game. Pagano is also the coach who called one of the most bizarre trick plays in NFL history.
So, to almost repeat history is baffling for this current Colts regime, whose narrative is they are smarter and better than Pagano and Ryan Grigson. The only reason the Colts didn’t repeat history is that they decided a human with two severely compromised ankles is a better idea.
After Indianapolis predictably loses to Tennessee, the Colts had enough nerve to say Eason is still their backup QB, and they think very highly of him. Really? Their actions didn’t back up those pretty words.
So, after two series of so-called NFL experience, the Indianapolis Clowns, I mean Colts, waived Eason. Players talk, and potential draft picks see this kind of thing and consider it when talking to the team around draft time.
Might the next quarterback the Colts try to draft, remember how those before him were treated, and tell the organization, “If you draft me, I’m not playing for Indianapolis. Instead, I’ll play professional baseball.” Meanwhile, Eason is the Seattle Seahawks’ newest backup quarterback.
