he redshirted
true, but only because he wasn't physically able to play in 09. But yes, a redshirt obviously does wonders (most of the time).
Stafford didn't get that luxury and it took him until mid-November for hte light to come on. However, it's worth pointing out that the run game and defense Eason will have this year should be light years better than what stafford had. OL I'm not sure about.

EE is becoming the closest thing to a redshirt you'll get for most 4-5* athletes... careers seem to be getting shorter in the NFL (sometimes by choice - I envision more Calvin Johnson type decisions coming in the future)... couple that with the lower rookie salary, there's not as much of a benefit to going in the 1st round as there used to be, so returning for that last year tends to happen more with guys who are questionable on making it into the league at all.
ETA: I don't believe Calvin will retire this season, but I do believe that more players will start thinking about it. Get in, get paid, get out... if football isn't your life, this is not a bad strategy.
