How much of their (Fromm/Eason) issues with dropped balls has to do with their throwing style?

I can't seem to get this idea out of my head that Fromm has more touch and a more catchable ball and as a result less dropped balls. This helped move the chains in that first game.

Eason on the other hand, has a strong arm and fires the ball in there, which can be hard for some college receivers to pull in. Especially inexperienced receivers. A strong arm is what the NFL loves but no one loves dropped balls or zero movement or three and outs.

IMO fans are just super biased for the star hometown recruit.

No one would be saying "stay with the hot hand" if it was Ramsey instead of Fromm who had played well and gotten us to 4-0.

Compare the run game and pass blocking from last year to this year. Not a fair comparison. We won't know until we see Eason work this year with the first team if he can.


This has a lot to do with Fromm getting the offense in the right play and making DC honor the pass. They didn't with Eason. Made it very hard to run. Put Eason back in and watch our line suddenly start to suck.

That really isn't the case. Teams have still been stacking the box and selling out to stop the run - we have just been able to run against it this year - which is why play action has been so wide open. Not sure what game you are watching

I haven't seen it much since the 1st QTR of the App St. game save short yardage situations. What team are you watching?

Then you are blind. Look at the TD pass to Nauta last game in the 3rd for example. I don't feel like looking up more but it's been the same on most of our long pass plays.

AND Fromm made them pay. Easy E more times than not, did not.
Easy E is just that. Easy too defend. DC's stack the box and gamble he won't hurt them. Fromm will and does. If Kirby starts Easy E, the offense will go back to looking like last year.

Again, what SECE team do you coach defense for?

Yet I realized I was arguing with Bob Shoop. Sorry Bob, you're getting Fromm and you won't like it.

Just start Fromm this game saying Eason is not ready yet. Then start him when we play Mizzou to see how he does.

I will like whatever one we go with actually I think they are both good options - just my opinion that one is better.

Quit being so emotional about it that's what women do. Calling one of our players "Eazy E" is pathetic.

Mizzou's DC just upvoted the idea of a time machine so he could go back and refuse the job offer and go elsewhere... "This is a turn around..."

I will take it as a good thing that you don't recognize my handle. I only remember the handles of shitty posters or attention whores personally...which is why I recognize some in this thread.
