It was always relevant. just ebcause most don't see something doesn't mean it isn't there. I wasn't going to say anything or bump this. I thought the game spoke spoke for itself.

That said....on short and medium routes you could see the canon. He threw the short and medium passes with a LOT of zip. You can tell that he SHOULD be able to throw the ball deep. That makes me think that what many others said in this thread is correct. It is mechanics. Those are things that can be ironed out.

He is especially impressive with how he plays under pressure. I thought there were times he looked a little pensive....but MOST of the time he came right out and performed. THAT is key. He performs in spite of the pressure. no doubt he will be a great one.

I took a lot of flack for starting this thread, and that's ok.

I DO appreciate those (DJS, whiznot for a couple) that stepped in and said they saw the same. It would have been easy to stay silent and hide and avoid the flack. Several other of you guys didn't leave me hanging out there and it was appreciated.

Some who disagreed with me did it in a respectful way and you guys made me think, and had some very good and valid points. Thanks for keeping it civil.

Others just got rude and couldn't believe that i would say anything negative about Eason. It wasn't meant to be negative....I was merely worried he had a tired arm, or hurt arm. But hey...no big deal. We all have opinions. I just wish we could keep it civil and leave the name calling and ridicule back on the playground where it belongs.

I think your concerns were valid. There are definitely differences in his mechanics and the quality of his deep ball passes that we have seen in the first three games versus those we saw at Gday.

I think after last night it's obvious that he has the poise and "it" factor to lead the team, and the velocity on his short and intermediate passes shows that the arm strength is there. I haven't rewatched the game, but he threw a 15 yard out near the beginning of the game that I remember immediately thinking was an NFL throw that not many college QBs can hit.

All in all, LOTS of room to improve. Lots of freshman mistakes. Needs to work on deep ball mechanics and reading through full progressions faster. BUT, he is the guy, and after what I saw yesterday, I think we are going to lose some games, but I also think 10 keeps us in some games we shouldn't be in.
