Eason sucks.
He just lacks the mental toughness and the ability to handle the game.
If he gets coached up he'll be a force. The tools are all there and he's shown flashes of brilliance. I think if he goes out west into one of those spread offenses he'll be great. The pro-style stuff UGA runs doesn't mesh with his past experiences.
Also I feel the competition level at his high school vs. Fromm's (Georgia HS football) is vastly different and the reason why Fromm was able to fill-in and then steal the job.

From my understanding he's been more into trying to slay as many women there at UGA (the whole reason he went there) then learning anything about football or doing school shite.
Nothing wrong with that, really, but if you're going to be the next Farve or Brady, you need to be focusing a little bit on football, right?

Those are two HUGE intangibles that QB must have to succeed. A coach can't help #1 and can only do so much to help #2.
Those attributes are basically what separates good players from great players or below average players and average players.
Etling can't hold Eason's jock when it comes to physical tools but he kicks the shite out of Eason when it comes to mental toughness and handling the game.
Etling has more flaws than I care to get into but he's one tough SOB and he knows what needs to be done. On multiple occasions Danny has risked his body to get us a crucial first down knowing that we need it to win the game. Eason either wouldn't even realize how crucial the first is or wouldn't have the balls to take the punishment necessary to get to the sticks.
I'm sorry but those type of intangible faults can't really be fixed.
