Fromm/ Eason

Delete it if you don't like it. I saw one thread about Eason returning to practice and didn't read it.

I saw people posting this in another thread and ignored, but since this thread is all about it I fell compelled to respond. There's an old saying about stats being like bikinis and what they show and what they conceal and blah blah. Bottom line is these stats mean absolutely less than nothing since this isn't remotely close to an apples to apples comparison.

-Eason played 2 real teams an 1 cupcake. Fromm played 2 cupcakes and 1 real team.
-Eason's first game ever was against one of the aforementioned real teams, Fromm's first game was against a team that has only recently been classified 1A.
-Eason played 1 game in Athens, Fromm has played 2 (both at night).
-Eason's TFr season was with a first year head coach, first year OC, first year entire coaching staff. Not the case with Fromm.
-Eason had an ~85% chubb, Sony being Sony, and a TFr Herrian. Fromm has the real deal Chubb to go along with Sony and Swift as a 3rd teamer.
-Eason had an OL that consisted of an out of position transfer from Rhode Island at tackle, our other tackle playing out of position when he should be a guard, and an undersized center. Fromm's OL isn't going to set records but already looks better than what Eason had through 3 games last year.
-Eason's receivers were absolute horse shite besides Mckenzie, his other 2 go-tos were Stanley and Chigbu. Fromm, despite some dropsies from Hardman, has far more to work with in the WR department through 3 games than EAson did.
-Eason had a defense behind him learning a brand new scheme with a ton of Freshmen on the DL and friggin Juwan Briscoe starting at CB. Fromm's defense is one of the best in the country
-Eason had a punter who was lucky to kick it 30 yards and a kickoff man that routinely gave the other team field position. Fromm's speical teams are night and day different and absolute game-changers in the field position department.


You can post the black and white stats and say "hmmm..Fromm is actually doing better than Eason was at the same point!" and technically be correct, but what each has accomplished to this point isn't even close. Fromm has had 2 gimmes that don't matter and 1 great road win where his defense won the day. Eason won us an SEC road game engineering a last minute drive and throwing the winning TD pass on 4th down. Also if you want to compare both stats against their "real" competition (UNC/Mizz for Eason, ND for Fromm) it looks like this:

Eason:
37/67 for 439 yards (55.2%), 4 TD/1 Int, 150 QBR

Fromm:
16/29 for 141 yards (55.2%), 1 TD/1 Int, 100.5 QBR


Take all of the above and add in the fact that Eason statistically improved quite a bit from the 2nd half of last year compared to the first, PLUS he has a full year experience against SEC competition, plus an entire EXTRA year of studying and practice....and it's absolutely a no-brainer that he is our starting QB as soon as he's healthy and it shouldn't even be a question. Eason is the guy until he royally fricks up enough to bench him. That aint happened yet.

But....what about the fan base that says Eason is from the Northeast and Fromm is a redneck like us so go with Fromm?

eh, it is what it is.

I certainly understand the argument of Eason played in the NW against small white boys and Fromm playing high classification GA ball, but I mean you don't become a 1st team All American and unanimous 5* top rated recruit simply by skating by against crappy competition. Based on VERY LITTLE observation, I can see Fromm being the more "likable" of the 2...but the bottom line is that as of right this second, if both guys are fully 100% healthy Eason is our best bet. I'll stick by that until given a reason not to.

One guy, one time, from Washington was overrated. Therefore, every athlete from Washington is overrated. Solid logic.

geez you're an idiot. I question if you've even watched any games he's played in.

Every single one of them

the University of Georgia does not currently have a championship caliber QB on the roster

I'm not sure about that. I think Eason will take his game to the next level this year. Just a hunch.

I just watched the UGA offense v UA defense video on youtube. I didnt see the pass to Godwin you mentioned, it probably didnt make the video because it was called back. It was a low scoring affair. I dont think we scored and offensive touchdown.

Thomaston...WG will tell you, neither of us would piss on the other if he was on fire, so you have to have tried to make an exceptionally obtuse observation to make me agree with him.

Fromm has the Tebow effect without the Tebow physical gifts...he can NOT make all the throws that Eason can or has and it's a simple matter of knighting for your personal favorite for you to type such a thing and expect to be taken seriously. He has performed admirably standing in for Eason, but once Eason is back, he's the starter until it's proven he can't get the job done.

Eason had some struggles last season in what WG accurately described as pretty much the first year ever of pretty much everyone involved doing what they were being asked to do. However, he did have some moments that illustrate that he has the "clutch gene". He made some big time throws in very big moments...most of his struggle came in the normal ebb and flow of the game. The only really bad pick I remember him throwing was the one late against Tech.
