I agree, stay with Fromm and don't mess up the chemistry that they have right now. With that being said though, if he begins to struggle this weekend in Knoxville, and Eason is 100% healthy, I think you bring Eason in.

We recognize your handle about as well as JE10 recognizes a run blitz.

I'm with you. What we definitely don't need is a QB controversy. I don't want those jokers rolling in for each other on different series during the game. That messes with an offense's flow.......

Pick one and lets go Frommward*.......

Fromm getting the offense in the right play


IMO, this is going to be a challenge for the freshman on Saturday. Big difference in getting the right play called when at home and being on the road with 100K+ screaming fans. That is of course assuming that Tennessee fans will show up.

So, ND is a really easy place to play?

Never said that, but that was basically like a home game for us with the way UGA fans took over South Bend.

Kirby and the team are not going to let Fromm fail. Eason is a permanent backup as long as Fromm is healthy. Maybe Eason can get some mop up snaps late against the dominated Vols.

Team chemistry. This is Fromm's team now. These guys respond to him and we're much quicker down the field. Eason has a canon, but he doesn't have Fromm's heart and drive. Make a change now and you impact thatchemistry. Kirby won't let that happen. Fromm's the starter.

At first I thought this was just a troll post, but I will play. While your criteria is legitimately one aspect to consider, it is just one of many aspects. My perspective: I think any objective observer can see that Fromm has better command of the offense, makes quicker decisions and throws more accurate passes. He needs to work on dumping a pass to the sidelines instead of making ill advised runs when a play breaks down but then that's how Eason got hurt in the first place. Overall Fromm has simply shown that he is the better QB in spite of the fact that Eason has the benefit of an entire season of experience.

I assume you are saying Notre dame wasn't hostile.

I also don't think Eason has Fromm's ability to see the field nor his poise. However, I'm no expert on QB evaluation.

How much of their (Fromm/Eason) issues with dropped balls has to do with their throwing style?
I think it's this. Eason's mechanics last year were terrible. Constantly throwing off the back foot and not setting his feet. He was just slinging it and had wobbly bullets that weren't always hitting the receivers in their bodies, leading to higher probabilities of drops. Fromm still guns it (not like Eason, obviously) but his are mostly hitting receivers in the chest. The deep balls have touch on them so those are a bit easier to grab.

Overall, I think Fromm should keep starting until he starts to struggle. Eason should be the release valve if the pressure gets to be too much for Fromm (I doubt that happens). Fromm has done everything he's been asked to do and he should keep playing while he's got the offense in a groove.

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.


I doubt this.

It's neither good nor bad. In ultra nerdy terms, you're currently "chaotic neutral." I don't think anyone was criticizing your posts here, so no reason to get snarky... Each poster is weighed on the merits of their content. You may be completely forgettable or it may be that your posts came from another board... Your posts going forward will determine whether you are a shitty poster or not.

This leads me to believe you may end up being a shite poster FWIW... if that's what you remember about people here. Hopefully I'm wrong. I remember plenty of great posters on this board... Anyone who ventures outside of this board has probably come across ole TB2k7 and his multiple variations as well. It's a mixed bag... If you focus on the negative, it will influence you... in life and on these boards.

Agreed. As they say "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Fromm has done everything his team and coaches have asked of him.

It's not necessarily a knock against Eason. It's that this is a team game. You don't choose starters because they won the job in summer practice. You choose starters because they give the team the best chance to win. In my (completely unqualified, of course) opinion, that seems to be Fromm until he proves otherwise.
