The official amount is measured from the LOS. (For a QB) When a QB throws a pass he is given credit for how far the pass progresses from the LOS. Kickers and QB are figured differently.

However, I understand your point. He actually threw/kicked the ball further. But, even those 33 yard passes that Eason threw...if you add the 10 yard drop he still would have thrown the ball about 43 yards. Not bad for me and you, but not exactly what you would expect from a kid with a canon, either. We've all seen QB's in college throw the ball 60 yards or so, and the balls Eason threw were not strong throws.

Again, I am not saying he CAN'T throw it that far, just that he seems to be struggling to throw it that far, and wondering if his arm might either be sore or going through a dead period.

Not talking about you, WG, but some on here can't seem to watch the passes with an open mind. They simply attack anybody that would dare question anything Eason does on the field. (Not saying he has done anything wrong....so far, I've been pleased with his decision making, as a whole.)

This is the disconnect. We haven't seen him attempt to.

In the UNC game, if he throws any of those farther, they're out of bounds.
