So it comes down to nerves and jitters to which the 5th year senior has to get the nod.
I don't see it that way. Lambert isn't leading UGA to a championship. He is who he is at this point. Eason is a championship level talent and he should play. It's wasting time playing Lambert.

I agree and disagree.
Lambert isn't winning us a championship of any kind, while eason very well might. But you can't be looking at december, all that matters now is North Carolina. Perhaps lambert gives us a better chance, RIGHT NOW, to win this game. That may change int eh second quarter, who knows. But I don't necessarily tihnk it's a bad decision to go with him. And like I said earlier, if Eason isn't hte full time starter by game 4 I would be stunned. Unless of course Lambert has a revival now that we don't have our worst OC in history anymore.

UGA would have beaten TN from behind on the road without Chubb with a perfectly thrown deep ball from Lambert that was dropped by Reggie davis in the endzone.
That would have tied the game and I think Georgia would have lost anyways. And that only happened because UGA had already blown a 24-3 lead.

One thing I just mentioned that doesn't get talked about is there's a CHANCE lambert is actually better and servicable under a new OC. We didn't use the Tight Ends AT ALL last year, and they are probably the deepest unit on offense we have. What's goign to be very intersting in the lambert/eason saga is if chaney is even competent (which schott was not anywhere near competent) and has looking good what will happen.

I disagree. This team isn't going anywhere unless one of the QBs becomes 2013 Jameis Winston. 2017 team should be realllly good though. I don't love Lambert starting, but as long as we get up early, we'll be fine. If we fall behind early, Lambert isn't leading any comebacks.

If we're planning for december right now we're doing it all wrong. YOu win the game in front of you. Perhaps lambert is our best bet for that. I'm not talking about ole miss, or ut, or UF, or anyone else...only UNC. If eason's talent and decision making ends up being what we'd like it to, he'll be starting soon enough anyway.

I might be on an island here, but I am cool with seeing what Lambert can do after a full offseason. He came in late last year and our offense was awful in general, partly due to Schottenheimer.
If lambert has improved at all and if Chaney is as big an improvement over Schotty as we think he is...this is the right move to make.

I'll trust the coaches and see who trots out there Saturday afternoon at 5:35EST

Per 92.9 in ATL Grayson Lambert Starting for UGA
Eason needs to start IMO. Hes the future. UGA has him for 3 years. They need to build around him.

92.9 blows Bham's sports talk out of the park.

we all know this, but guys it's the first game. Eason will be starting at some point this season. Likely by mid-October at the LATEST. I don't think him not starting his first collegiate game is that big a deal. Hell we don't even know how many snaps he'll get..for all we know he could get as many series as lambert does.

Good point, and it is being overlooked. Talent was never a problem with Lambert though and I always thought his issue was between the ears.

The last throw of the game he had towards the end zone was really good too, our DB just made a great play on it. Not that's that really relevant, just making an observation

The good news for Georgia is that the passing game will definitely improve under Chaney no matter who gets the start.
The bad news for Georgia is that your running game will take a hit, and Chaney WILL get married to the pass at the worst possible times.
Now, with the backfield talent you have, you can afford to take a slight hit.
IMO, starting Lambert is the right move for this game. It's a tough defense in the 1st game, and Lambert isn't a turnover machine.

If true that Lambert starts and he plays for more than 5 minutes we lose.

Greyson Lambert is essentially Joe Tereshinski III in disguise. No way he lasts all year unless there's something I'm missing and he might not last more than one game.

Eason is championship talent? Really? What college football game has he played in that leads you to say that?
I dont buy recruiting rankings to indicate that to me.

you realize talent and accomplishments aren't the same, right?
He was Rivals Junior player of the year 2 seaosns ago, and last year as a senior was the Gatorade national player of the year.
Obviously he hans't played yet, but to say he has "championship talent" isn't some crazy statement.

You don't know what talent looks like evidently. He has all the tools. He's big and he has a huge accurate arm

Eason isn't, either. At least not this year.
Not a single person on this thread has been at practice day in and day out. Our coaches have. If Eason gave us the best chance to win, then he would be starting. If Lambert chokes in the game, I'm sure Eason will get his chance. Chaney took a QB at UT who was HORRIBLE his Jr year and turned him into a QB with respectable numbers. Maybe an OC who actually knows what he is doing (look our routes on some passing plays last year, a go route combined with a post that basically meant the defense had bracket coverage on our WR's without even meaning to do it... Richt absolutely deserved to get fired for allowing that shite to go on) can get Lambert to turn a corner. If he can't, Eason will get his shot sooner rather than later.
