I honestly think he needs a year but I am sure Kirby will make the smart decision


1) Guys that good aren't going to hang around for 5 years.

2) If we had a murray or greene or shockley, then maaaaaybe you redshirt him. But we have greyson frickin lambert. Plus all 3 QBs are learning a new system so nobody has a head start there.

It would be the worst decision possible to redshirt him. The only question is how early will it be before he starts full time.

I thought he would play but as a back up role I don't think he will be there for a 5th year either.

Agreed it would be a terrible decision to redshirt on multiple fronts. With the incumbent starter Lambert not exactly "lighting it up" last year, this spring, or likely this fall, not giving Eason a chance to play only serves to:
1) Push the decision to play a QB with zero starting experience to next year
2) Indicate that Kirby is less likely to play the most talented player even if they're younger/less experienced (note this isn't just starting Game 1, but if he were to redshirt)
3) Stacks Fromm and Eason on top of each other with zero separation between Eason and possibly Trevor Lawrence (one current edge over Clemson).
