I saw Kirby's answer to Finbaum. I love the fact that Kirby didn't hesitate to answer and didn't attempt to qualify his statement. The QB who gives us the highest probability of a win will start.

I think Eason takes control this Summer.

It will be Lambert. Eason has the arm, the touch, all the potential. But as Smart also said, Lambert is a very seasoned quarterback. He's played against the best, he knows how to run an offense at this level, he's faced just about everything you can face at the college level. And Lambert's size and arm strength is pretty good, too. Smart will give him a legitimate shot to either make the jump or not. Even though Eason likely wins out by superior talent within a couple of games, I doubt Smart will start Eason on the big stage, in game 1, against a good opponent, with zero experience playing at the college level.

I think its swagger and thats a big deal for a qb.

There's no way Lambert isn't the starter against North Carolina, imo.

If I'm wrong, then Eason is even better than his biggest fanboy thinks he is.

Lambert will start if for no other reason than he's predictable to the coaches; they know how well he can do and how poorly he can do. They know his strengths and weaknesses.

Eason is a total wild card. We've never seen him get hit. We don't know what he'll do in front of a hostile crowd or on national TV.

That being said, Eason is going to play. It may be mop up duty or it may be a QB rotation. Either way, I hope Kirby makes a decision on the starter before August and sticks with it
