If Eason was a country boy from Warner Robins, UGA fans would be way more supportive of him. Instead, he's a long-haired dude from the west coast who people want to bench for the local guy.
Nothing about his true freshman season was negative enough to warrant the general opinion of him on UGA message boards.

Personally I don't give a shite if he's from Iraq and wants to kill infidels...as long as he can make his check downs and hit the open receiver.....accurately.
Which remains to be see btw.

Bingo! He's played on true freshman season and morons are ready to throw him under the bus.

I've thought that myself. I think a lot of our own fans (who've never heard him open his mouth one time) assume he's just some laissez faire punk and have never really been able to like the guy.
The hatred of Eason is confusing, but then again we did this to Murray for two and a half seasons, so maybe that's just our fan base.

Maybe some UGA fans think that way, but it's probably not that common. Generally, diehard sports fans (like those who post on message boards) tend toward too much optimism about future results, which means they overestimate the ability of their team, coach, and important players. Those folks are usually complimentary and supportive, regardless of race, creed, religion, or any other demographic variables, and they tend to think that way until results prove them conclusively wrong, and then they begin to change their opinion. I never knew how prevalent fan overconfidence was until I started reading message boards of various football teams.
I'd guess most of Eason's critics on UGA boards fall into two camps. Some are perverse fans of rival schools posing as UGA fans, simply to troll and irritate any UGA fans who see Eason leading us to better outcomes. Others are UGA fans who are skeptical about Eason's talent. It is possible for people to think that without having some bias or ulterior motive, despite your confidence that they're wrong.

bullshite, this board is tough on all our QBs. I bet if we had a QB who broke the SEC record for all time passing yards people would be hard on that guy too.
