re: QBs down to two.

... Or you can say he lost 1 game and won 11 with 12 TDs and 2 INTs with an embattled 1st year OC, the loss of a Heisman RB, And a HC that was fired before the UF game, yet still managed a 142 QB rating.

Lambert isn't the second coming, but given what he was dealing with, I think we were pretty lucky to have had him.

On the UVA deal... They had a poor defense and no running game. The only way London saves his job is if they outscore people. That's why he put in a slinger instead of a game manager. As it turns out, London for fired, Johns threw 17 ints, and then lost his spot to a grad transfer from ECU who never started at ECU...

Sorry my phone didn't grammar check it for you.

You are still a moron.

And I'm not still not advocating for GL to start.
But not everything at VA or UGA was his fault the last 2 years. The facts are he was let down by his OL time and time again. And you just don't really understand football if you can't see that.

You're the type of fan that sits in the stands and always screams for the back up, who will never understand the intricate parts of the game.

So Lambert struggled because he knew Richt was secretly planning a move to Miami.

Got it.

Thats why its so exciting to think our true fresh could be even better, by the indications he is getting all reps with 1's.

He's getting reps with the ones according to a plan announced to all three QBs weeks ago. Has nothing to do with whether he'll start or not. Or whether he's doing better than Lambert.

Anyone not excited by that thinks Kirby is an idiot or is himself an idiot.

Kirby is executing a practice plan he outlined before camp even began. Yet fanboys are now interpreting this plan as Eason being the starter. This is free comedy, right here.

Start the kid. He'll be fine. There is no way Smart starts him if he doesn't think that he is ready and that is the best thing for the program.

Then,why is it so important to you that Eason, who you've never seen play a single down in college, take the first snap against UNC?

If everyone agrees that the goal is to win games and to do what's best for Eason's development, why do you care so much about when he eventually plays or starts?

I'm honestly trying to understand why this is such a big deal to some people. Thanks in advance.

To me this is simple. Lambert has a major flaw...he panics when under pressure. At this point in his career with this many starts, he hasn't been able to correct it. If Eason is better under pressure (to be determined) and can call the plays and make the reads... Then he starts and has all of the upside. If we lose to UNC with Lambert, Kirby will be under heat. If we lose with Eason we are building to the future. And if we win. Then we win.

He does. It's just that defenders are so shocked at his tendency to throw the ball directly at them, and it often catches them off guard.

Not to get too deep into conspiracy theories but we know that Chizik had to start installing their game plan against us this past week. Ironically (and/or intentionally) at this same time we start to hear from a very tight-lipped CKS through the media (which has not been allowed much access to practices) that JE is repping with the 1's.

From a defensive coordinator perspective and from someone who is familiar with Chizik and from someone who knows that Chiz has to start installing v. UGA...all of a sudden we now hear info about Eason.

This could be mostly a chess move to at least slightly confuse Chizik or make him gameplan for the POSSIBILITY of playing against a TF QB that he doesn't have any real film on.

I mean, hell we have no idea as fans as evidenced by this thread who will or even SHOULD start. We have only our sometimes strongly held beliefs about who we'd LIKE to see start.

Granted, I'm not and I doubt many of us would claim to be a defensive coordinator on the level of Chizik but if it creates any confusion it can't hurt us.

I know for me personally I would have told you a few weeks ago that I didn't plan on seeing JE starting v. UNC even though it pains me to watch Happyfeet Lamebert. I just didn't see him starting. So I'm confused and maybe, just maybe Chiz might be too. I think he'll at least have to prepare his defense for the POSSIBILITY of a true freshman starter and that will take some focus from their defensive gameplan.

At the end of the day what UNC has to do on D is STOP THE RUN.

CKS playing 3d chess??? Don't ask me.
