It obviously depends on how good Eason really is and how fast he matures/develops as a QB. Richt learned a lesson about not playing talented Freshmen with Moreno but the QB position is a whole other level of demanding performance.

I pretty much see it the way Choo does. Eason is either developed enough to start or not. If he is, then play him. If not, then he should red-shirt. Right now we have 3 healthy QB's who should know the playbook but with limited experience. That should be good enough to give Eason time to develop.

It is so, so much more intricate than that. It's not black and white. Chances are really good that he won't be ready from game one snap one. Chance are by UF he just might be. It shouldn't be an either/or...you play him when he's ready. The question is how long will that be? He's not going to get any more ready by sitting on the bench all season.

We don't go 11-2 and finish #2 in 2007 if stafford had redshirted in 2006. The reason he was as good as he was in 07/08 is because he got that in game experience in 2006. He was dreadful to begin with, which is expected for a TFr. Towards the end he was very solid. Hopefully we don't have a bunch of QBs go down and force eason to play early like stafford did, but there's no reason why we can't ease him into the game gradually throughotu the year until he's ready to take over.
