re: All of Fromm's offensive plays

Fromm appears to be a bigger, slightly faster version of Aaron Murray with a quicker release and a stronger throwing arm

There's not much to be gained from debating this point, but Fromm's arm is not as strong as Murray IMO. His release is comparable, but not quicker. Jake's arm is strong enough and that's all that matters. Whether he becomes the complete qb that AM was depends on his work ethic and I'm encouraged by what I've seen so far.

Possibly Stafford.

Not even close, now or ever IMO. I hope Eason does well but, freshman stats aside, Stafford was way above Eason. Arm strength is the only comparable skill, and even there Stafford does it with a more compact throwing motion.

People forget a lot about Stafford.

They forget that he got benched his freshman season.
They forget that he lost to 5 consecutive SEC East opponents in his career at UGA.
They forget that he didn't throw for 300 yards in a game until midway through his junior season (Eason did it twice last year).
They forget that Stafford had 1 (maybe 2) good games against good opponents when the running game wasn't clicking on all cylinders. Our rush offense was the highlight of our team during the Stafford years (don't believe me, rewatch the Hawaii game when our offense was at its peak).

I don't mind agreeing to disagree because 98% of above is about Stafford's deficiencies that we forget at UGA. Eason still has to show growth (which is tough on the number of snaps he is given).

I remember all of those things. I've gone back and watched some of Stafford's early games during the offseason to see how he looked compared to Eason. He was more decisive, sometimes to his detriment, but his mind worked faster and I thought he was obviously getting better even when it didn't show on the stat line. It's not easy to compare players on different teams, against different opponents, under different coaches, which is why we have these debates. It's not something that boils down to a list of bullet points and statistics.

His best performance without being supplemented by a dominant ground game was his last one against Michigan State in the bowl. By the time the lightbulb turned on, he was off to the NFL.

Here's the difference in my opinion and yours. I thought Stafford was a great player early on, just needed experience and he got it and turned into a fantastic qb, IMO, while he was at UGA. He didn't have the surrounding cast to dominate the sport of cfb, but he was extremely talented. You say he benefitted from our ground game, I say he created our successful ground game because defenses respected the damage he could do.

I don't like to base my opinion on what some expert says, because experts are often wrong too, but the NFL guys looked at Stafford, and then made him one of the highest paid rookies in the history of professional football. They could've been wrong, but it was a pretty good bet and his contract was probably agreed before the draft even took place, based on what they saw at UGA. And this time, at least, they got it right; Stafford is a franchise qb.

Maybe Eason does the same, but right now he hasn't shown the early signs of that skill set, IMO.

#7 made plays. Stafford's wins against a bad Bama team, a bad Vandy team, driving the field to kick a game winning field goal against a bad Arizona state team are all great memories.
Not very different from throws by Eason against Missouri and Tennessee.


Stafford had a 55% completion percentage with 10 INTs as a sophomore. That was a talented team who finished #2 in the country. He played with AJ Green, Knowshon Moreno, Thomas Brown, MoMass, Tavarres King, Kris Durham, Fernando velasco, trinton sturdivant, Clint boling, and cord glenn. That team had talent.

Okay.

Fromm = Senior Yr Murray

Not sure whether to make a new thread or not, this one seems to still be on the rails, so I'll leave this here.


Taken from a SECRant topic. I think it might not include last week's games, but does included all of Fromm's games.


I have not fact checked this*



ETA- This is of 15+ yard passes.

I'm not sure it is all the pass plays but I recognize many of the pass plays from the ones Fromm played in High school. This leads me to believe that Chaney is wisely using some of Fromm's High School play book to help him function efficiently. Given the fact they had to throw him into the season earlier than expected and the minimal time Fromm had to learn the Play Book, wouldn't this show Chaney is one cunning and wise MF'r!?

Man that ND game...I'm amazed we won that shite. Our offense struggled.

Honestly I think we got lucky. There were some big time 3rd downs late in that game where their qb just missed badly on the throws. They had plays were their guys were open for the first, but the bad throws negated it. I don't remember what the pass rush was on those plays, but I'd like to think that we caused the pressure for him to rush his throws.
