I'd be surprised if Eason was getting most of his yards from long bombs. The goal is to move the ball down the field and there are many ways to do that.
Eason can throw those bombs, which opens up the playbook for him. He doesn't have to do it every play, just a few times a game, and that will keep the safeties honest and help prevent them from loading the box. The problem with Lambert is that everyone knows he isn't going to throw it deep, so loading the box can be done every play. Eason throwing deep can only help improve our run game as well as help our 2-minute offense (once he gets trusted with the keys); we need the ability to have explosive plays.

I feel like he threw a bomb at least once a drive to keep them honest.
Problem was PI's and dropped balls.

This is true. However, the excitement we have for Eason is based on his abilities to stretch the field and get the defense to stop staking the box, right?

Which has been subject of this thread. he has not been throwing the bombs. The longest passes he has thrown has been about 35 yards or so. And they were either under thrown or very weak/wobbly. If he is unable to throw deep with authority (Not saying he can't...but maybe because something is hindering him from being able t do so) then the defenses will quit respecting his reputation and start stacking the boxes again. Nicholls did, and it proved to be disastrous. (Although, I believe we looked bad with Nicholls based on our players taking them lightly)

I agree, if he starts throwing deep and connecting.
