Yeah, I guess. Seems as if the team is behind Fromm but then again I'm just a fan.

Eason is a popular guy. He and Nauta seem to be particularly close.

The question that I'd like to get an answer to is this: what does Eason bring to the table that Fromm doesn't that gives him the nod?

At this point, Fromm has essentially played 4 complete games, including a road game against a quality opponent and a conference game against a good defense. If we ignore the two series Eason got before his injury, Eason has 7 more games under his belt than Fromm. Assuming Fromm starts again against Tennessee, that will be a 6 game difference (half a season). The "experience" argument gets weaker with each game Fromm plays and Eason sits.

Not to mention that Fromm has the most recent game experience. If we again remove the two series from the first game, we're talking about almost 10 months since Eason has played more than a couple of series against live opponents in a game-time situation (not counting the G-Day game or scrimmages). Fromm has been in the thick of it for 4 games now and he's improved every game.

There is an assumption that Eason has made a big jump between last season and this one. Even if that's true, what (other than experience) does that get us that starting Fromm doesn't?
