ANSWER: the freshman kid. Every. got. dammned. time.
You are acting like Lambert is some sort of game changer. He's not. He lost his job at Virginia for goodness sake.
If I were Chizik, I would be focused on the run game and take some risk on UGA's pass offense.
Eason maybe a game changer. Let's go ahead and see. The game actually sets up pretty good for him, national exposure, a team terrible against the run. Is the floor lower for Eason, probably, the ceiling higher, absolutely.
Play the kid.

And something that we have to remember in this thread is that Eason starting helps recruiting tremendously.
Not just QB recruiting but EVERY position. Says CKS "if you're good you're gonna play- I started a TRUE FRESHMAN QUARTERBACK out of the gate!"

What is Kirby used to working with?
A Qb that doesn't make mistakes and a running game that eats clock and moves the sticks, so thatthe defense isnt in a hole and he can get aggressive and force plays and mistakes by the opponent.
Lambert is that , he's not a game changer , but he doesn't turn the ball over. How many game changing QBs were at Bama, none. No one was scared AJ or Greggy . They feared the defense would suffocate them , and the ol would pound you till you made a mistake.
It's curious though the rotation on Friday compared to KS media session on Wed.
Had JE proven he can not force it , does he have the playbook under control needed against UNC, has he won the locker room. If this is the case then great ; it gives you another weapon. But ints and sacks hurt more than kicking it deep.

correct, and we don't have what bama had so we can't just compare QBs apples to apples.
You hit on a good point...bama's QBs have MOSTLY (I think sims was an exception) been greene-like field leaders who were taksed with not making a mistake and just making good decisiosn with the ball in general. However, they've also had the best OL in football, the best defense in football, some elite 1st round talent at WR, Heisman caliber RBs. That aint us. So based on what we DO have to work with, he may realize we need a playmaker (eason) at QB to help overcome instead of just another game manager (lambert) who is going to be super safe but not really win you anything.

I'm reading and hearing it's Eason. All signs are pointing that way but Kirby obviously has kept it quiet. 
I'm so excited!

Upvoted!
What do you know?
You were the only guy here who guaranteed Faton Bauta would start a game late in the season last year.

I'm still pissed about that game. If they would have let Faton play to his strengths I think that game would have turned out different.

If I were Chiznik, and UGA was about to start a freshman QB that had never even played in a college game before......
I'd be salivating.

Samson Seeds now joining the Eason Will Start chorus. In other words, Lambert starting just went from a 99.9% certainty to a 99.9999% certainty.
If Eason does start though, I see only two scenarios for what it means.
1) Good news: Eason is as potentially great as fanboys think and he's ahead of a schedule that some former UGA qbs now in the NFL were not.
Or
2) Bad News: Our head coach and OC are dice-rolling mongotards.

The myth that Lambert is a smart, mistake free QB who will make all the right decisions is asinine and needs to go away. He is a 50/50 TD/ INT guy, who is indecisive and won't allow us to stretch the field.
Posted on 8/27/16 at 11:37 am to deeprig9
I agree and I think Eason should start . but to play devils advocate,there's also a hugely valid argument that with Chubb back, we need someone in there that we know won't turn the ball over etc knowing we will haves easily ground game.
Posted on 8/27/16 at 1:26 pm to SumterCoDawg
First I'm good with Smarts decision, and support either and see the benefit to either .
But GL is not a 50/50 TD/IN.
He was 12-2 last year and saying ints were dropped is asinine , because all QBs have that happen.

Yeah, the dropped interception rhetoric is just dumb. Should we count all his dropped passes as completions because he had many that should have been caught?
The guy didn't lose any games for us. We were just completely out matched against Bama and we were right there with UT. It wasn't his fault we lost either game.

If Eason doesn't start now, then when? Nicholls State? Middle of the SEC schedule? Ragin' Cajuns?
The early schedule actually works perfectly for starting Eason. Carolina (I am much more worried about their offense rather than their defense, including Chizik's drool), Nicholls State (no comment needed) at a weak Missou.
We should be able to handle all 3. If this happens as I portend, then you have an uber talented starter with 3 wins under his belt including a top 25 opponent and a SEC opponent on the road when you roll into the meat of the schedule.
Sounds like good stuff to me.

quote:I don't think he will be that lucky again if he plays this year, last year he really should've had more like 8 ints and that may be conservative. Saying that it doesn't matter that he had so many ints dropped is stupid, because it shows that he doesn't make the correct reads or protect the ball as well as you say he does. At Virginia you do realize that he threw more ints that TDs, right? So its really not outrageous to say that overall he's about a 50/50 TD/INT guy.

Fact - Chizik is scared to death of giving up bowl game-type numbers to Chubb on the ground.
Chili is a pretty good defensive coordinator all BS aside. Folks expecting to run up and down the field on his defense with a freshman QB (or Lambert), a starting RB coming off a gruesome knee injury less than a year ago, and a thin WR group may be in for some disappointment next week.
