How much of their (Fromm/Eason) issues with dropped balls has to do with their throwing style?
I can't seem to get this idea out of my head that Fromm has more touch and a more catchable ball and as a result less dropped balls. This helped move the chains in that first game.
Eason on the other hand, has a strong arm and fires the ball in there, which can be hard for some college receivers to pull in. Especially inexperienced receivers. A strong arm is what the NFL loves but no one loves dropped balls or zero movement or three and outs.

I think you are correct here

quote:I think it's this. Eason's mechanics last year were terrible. Constantly throwing off the back foot and not setting his feet. He was just slinging it and had wobbly bullets that weren't always hitting the receivers in their bodies, leading to higher probabilities of drops. Fromm still guns it (not like Eason, obviously) but his are mostly hitting receivers in the chest. The deep balls have touch on them so those are a bit easier to grab.

Overall, I think Fromm should keep starting until he starts to struggle. Eason should be the release valve if the pressure gets to be too much for Fromm (I doubt that happens). Fromm has done everything he's been asked to do and he should keep playing while he's got the offense in a groove.
