re: Does anyone realistically expect Eason to take the starters spot in '16???

It's funny that we all get into these discussions .... and that's what the off season is all about I guess...but there probably won't be anyone this year who is heads and above better than the other guys. Park seems to be lagging due to inexperience but by fall who knows? This one may come down to who knows the plays and can get it done when it counts. I hope for their sake they let these kids compete in the early games so they can show what they've got and maybe one will rise to the occasion.

Just look at the Masters....the leaders on Fri or even Sat rarely make it through Sun to put on the jacket.

Just think what it's like to be these guys. I'm sure they were all superstars from jr high through high school...and now you're out there competing with your friends for enormous stakes. It has to be tough to go through this wringer knowing the difference is a starting role under the lights vs holding the clip board. Also...they have to know the phenom is coming next year and theyll have to compete again. Competion Is part of life but I doubt anyone here has ever been in a role like this where you and your buddy are fighting like hell for one spot...and its a zero sum game. That's a tough deal for a 20 year old kid.
