It's really kind fo hard to say for me. The teams seems to respond better to Fromm....but the only thing we can make a comparison with is last years tem to this years team. And that isn't fair to Eason.

Yeah, very different teams between last year and this year. What we know so far is what we have with Fromm working with this team. I'm of the opinion that we don't mess with what works until it doesn't work any more.

Maybe if we were barely winning games (or losing) and Fromm was putting us in a bad position through mismanagement of the offense, I'd be begging for Eason to come back as soon as possible. But aside from ND, we've been putting up 30+ points a game (and we probably would've had more against ND if not for some dropped passes and penalties) and Fromm has managed the offense like a veteran.

As someone who has played at a similar level, all I can say is players do not like to think they will be replaced because of an unavoidable injury. by the same token, they also like to believe if they perform well, they will be given a starting job. It's a double edged sword.

Yeah, that does make things more difficult, but we can't keep running things the way CMR did. CKS has said multiple times that every position is a competition and no player should think that they deserve to start if they haven't earned their spot from week to week. While a constant QB competition throughout the season may not be great, it should drive all of our QBs to get better and better. If Eason is the best QB we have and can give us the better shot at winning games, he should play over Fromm. I just don't think he is the better QB and I've got a feeling CKS knows that and is being political about the whole thing.
