I'll give him more than 2 games before I start doubting his abilities, but that's just me


This board is starting to smell like a TN board where they have knee jerk reactions to everything. Eason was the #1 rated pocket passer in his class. Meaning that he had been evaluated for his entire HS career by experts, and put at the forefront of every HS pocket QB in the entire freaking US of A. So one start into his college career and you're going to throw all of that expert opinion out the window based on a few throws that you think we're inaccurate?!?! Maybe we need for you to evaluate our QBs from now on because you seem to know more than all of the experts who looked at and coached Eason throughout his career and recruitment process.

His abilities aren't based on one game, even though I thought he looked mostly good in it. It's how he progresses from game to game or from the beginning of the season to the end.

He's shown that he can make good throws. He just needs to focus on the little things that make a field general a field general.

Dude. I didn't come on here with a knee jerk reaction saying he doesn't have the arm. I said I was concerned....that's all. And I didn't do it base on one game, and I am not making my mind up based on two games. Just that I find it concerning. I knew I shouldn't have said anything, because some of you are doing exactly what you are accusing me of....jumping to conclusions and making knee jerk remarks.


How many times have the "experts" been wrong? Plenty. Just because a so called expert proclaims something doesn't mean it is so.

AGAIN....I am not saying he doesn't have the arm. All I am saying is look at the throws honestly. if you see a strong arm, then you are not being honest.

However, I am willing to accept that it could be nerves...or throwing off his back foot....or anything else you might come up with. But if you all say that is the problem, then you are seeing what i am saying. That his throws are not as strong as we anticipated....otherwise there would be nothing to say about them.
