Had to look up the definition!

Not really. Nobody has any idea how much improvement he has made...or has not made in the past year. It can vary greatly from player to player.

quote:

For example, when Bledsoe went down for the Patriots, it was only Week 2 of the season, but that was it - the change was made. They compared what Brady was doing to what Bledsoe had done. Granted, Bledsoe had a larger body of work to look at, but still - the argument wasn't "well, it was only one and half games".


And the coaches made that decision. Our coaches made the decision that Eason was the starter at the beginning of the year. We have people on here declaring Eason had made no improvement based upon 4 passes. They based their entire opinion on 4 passes. Think about that for a minute. If took Fromm's passing performance in a vacuum of the Tennessee game we would say he isn't ready. yet a lot of people were ready to make the same pronouncement on Eason based on 4 passes.

Because of a weak opponent in game one it was safe to start Eason even if the coaching staff thought that Fromm was the guy. Saying good things about Eason and starting him was the correct move no matter who was favored.

Eason will get his chance to show what he can do once he is healthy but he is going to have to win the starting position. imo

And you think they *only* considered spring practice in making that decision? They already knew what Eason could do in a game situations; Fromm was essentially an unknown as far as college-level play goes. After 5 games, Fromm is now a known, at least to some degree, so now the evaluation for each player includes both practice and game performance.
