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

Depends on what happens this year. If whoever wins the spot is ho-hum at best, I can see an argument for Eason starting as a true frosh next year.

I'm not sure there's any way he starts game 1 his freshman year. It is just so, so hard for a TFr to come in and play that well right out of the gate. I wholeheartedly think he should play in 16, even if we bring him along slowly. Maybe like we did with DJ...Greene was an established starter going into 02, but we gave Shock a few series a game to let him get his feet wet. Eason is just too good to keep off the field, if everything everyone says is correct.

I'd rather see Eason redshirt.

I don't know what benefit that would be to us. It is pretty unlikely he'll stay here for 5 years. And even if he does redshirt, he'd still go into '17 with absolutely zero game experience. The only way a QB will get better is to play.
