Eason is capable of throwing two kinds of passes. The first and most common being the skiddish in the pocket hot potatoe over throw or skiddish in the pocket super hot potatoe thrown off the bavk foot underthrow. He has had a few retard mistakes where he hit tue receiver in stride, for example, Riley Ridley V. Tennesse at the end of the game or the jump ball to a wide open iMac at Mizzou. I think Fromm is head and shoulders above Eason. The only thing he lacks is experience, which Eason has plenty of.

geez you're an idiot. I question if you've even watched any games he's played in.

Not sure we're talking about the same guy. The Jacob Eason I'm talking about is a guy who, on several occasions, made passes as a freshman and in his sophomore spring that most seniors couldn't make. He had some inconsistencies, but what freshman didn't. I think most are a little too hard on the guy because of his rating; expecting him to be a god.

Eason is still arguably the most physically gifted QB in the SEC. And the QB competition that we have only makes him better.

If you are throwing the ball with a lot of zip off your back foot, it will more likely be overthrown, not underthrown. Throwing off your back foot gives the ball an upward trajectory when you are throwing the ball hard.

I don't believe Fromm could have made that throw. He doesn't have the arm. You can argue that Fromm would have made some shorter throws, but not that throw.

That was a harder throw than it looked. IMac was open, but with defenders in between Eason had to place the ball just right to drop it in to Mackenzie while he was under a lot of pressure. Under the circumstances, it was an excellent throw.

In some ways, yes. In others....no.
