Don't like it. Would prefer to work him in more like we did last week.

I love it. Reverse the roles. Throw wonder boy in the fire with the obvious safety net.. and make him command the huddle and get the plays in.

It's Nicholls State...not really much risk in this move. Hopefully he improves in game management stuff and shows us he's ready to be the guy when we start our real SEC schedule (Ole Miss).

Worse case he shits the bed and we still win. i just hope he knows the playbook because it will be hard to walk this back if he screws the pooch.

Looks like it's confirmed....

We could probably beat this team by 50 if all we did was hand the ball off every play so I doubt you'll see us get too cute or open up the playbook a lot, especially right before we have two road SEC games.

Lots of other rookies will be getting much needed time too (if all goes as planned) so that may be part of what this is...

Give Eason another shot for the lights to come on under real pressure with the starters. Before "practice" begins sometime hopefully in the late 1st quarter

I meant it would be tough to start Lambert against Mizzou if we go to Eason now. But I get it.

Maybe my CMRPTSD is flaring up...

Possibly true, depending on what they communicated to JE and GL that this start means. Is it just a learning experience for JE with a plan to continue to rotate the QBs going forward or is this an attempt to give JE the keys to the ride for the rest of the year? We'll see I guess.

it seems Kirby is taking this in a game by game basis...so that's cool. I trust him and Chaney to set the stage for our SEC push. Gonna be fun to watch.

Oh, and

Frankly, I think we need to have Eason starting before we get to Ole Miss. Lambert isn't going to win that game. This will help bring that to fruition.

I hope he has a Bradshaw moment where everything slows down and he "gets it".

I kinda wondered if they would do this. Let JE feel the pressure and energy of starting. Give him 3 series , then GL probably gets 2 and is done for the game, JE comes back till its out of control. Chubb gets his 100-200 then sits and BH and EH play the balance.

But I caution, this does not mean GL won't start Mizzou. He probably will.

Start the kid. Play the kid. He is already head and shoulders better then Lambert.

Texas started a freshman. FSU started a freshman. It worked for them.

It will work for us.

Start and play the kid.
