January 1986 - A Pre-Super Bowl Profile of Patriots QB Tony Eason

From a John Madden special.

Eason was my guy as a kid. Really appreciating what he did watching Jones stink up every building he walks into.

Forget Tony Eason, I wanna watch whatever the heck "Jodi's Cupboard" is.

[@Mcdowells]

ROFL!

I missed that episode of “Jodi’s Cupboard” that next week of 1986. After waiting 27 years to catch it on reruns I’m just going to have to accept that I’ll never see it. 😢😂

[@r.williamcomm7693]

Grogan’s dream of playing in the Super Bowl actually was granted when he was put in when Eason was probably concussed. Although it didn’t go well for either Eason was assassinated in QB history to this day as the biggest bomb performance in SB history despite beating the best QBs & HoF talent to get there. Eason is thrown under the buss as a deer in the headlights instead of the young QB who took a vicious (but clean) beating at the hands of the defense who knocked more QBs out of games than any other defense before or since. Today it would be portrayed as a courageous fight by the QB who received a horrible & tragic injury that took him out of the game but fortunately there was an excellent backup. But Grogan also couldn’t win the game.

Tony Eason is the greatest QB in history. He is also the unluckiest QB in history. If Stanley Morgan catches that pass on their opening drive in the SB it would have been a very different game. If I needed a QB to win me a game right now I'd take Tony Eason over anybody else.

Nobody could have beat the Bears that day.

I remember all the girls in high school had a crush on him

[@r.williamcomm7693]

Always felt like he was treated unfairly by media ever since the Super Bowl vs the 1985 Bears.

[@Yeomannn]

As they should have

[@joselopez6990]

Tony Eason is the Worst Quarterback in Patriots history

[@henry6354]

Not at all...for me he has been the best after Brady Bledsoe Grogan and Parilli...he is my top nr 5 Kapp Wilson and Taliaferro are in the worst list and others should be mentioned too like Zolak and Millen for example

[@davidmadras721]

Far from it. 3rd best - more accurately!

[@henry6354]
