For sure. Right now, I think a lot of UGA fans are freaked out after Saturday and are sometimes a little overzealous in looking for explanations, which is understandable.




Actually I was not freaked out about Saturday. Teams tend to take bad teams lightly. It has happened over the years, and seems to be happening more frequently this year. It was the North Carolina game that got me. I went back and looked at the wobbly pass and he seemed to throw it off the front foot......he seemed to do everything right on that pass....but sometimes the ball will roll off the side of the hand and come off wobbly like that. (It's hard to tell on the film)
That normally happens when a QB has smaller hands, which I would not think is Eason's problem. (Not at 6'5"!) Maybe it just began to roll a bit and he couldn't correct. Anyway, I am feeling better that his arm is probably ok and there is nothing wrong with it. That was my biggest concern. A tired or sore arm.

Trust me... It's a back foot issue. It's technically a mechanics issue, but usually caused by a QB who has a lot going on in his head. Anyone who has coached QBs will tell you this...assuming his mechanics were correct... Which I am confident they are.
