Eason reminds me of Mett.

People are judging his fortitude off of a true freshman season which is laughable. If that is the measurement, Stafford will never get paid in the NFL.

Like Mett (or Farve), it is going to take a team with some patience to mature Eason on the field.

Mett was a good college qb in his redshirt senior season. It might take Eason 4 (or maybe a 5th season like Mett) in order to produce wins on his back (i.e. carry an offense when the running game is struggling). For what it is worth, Stafford couldn't carry an offense without a ground game until his bowl appearance his junior season against Michigan State. We got 1 great game out of Stafford before he got paid. Was it worth all of the struggles as he was being groomed? How much patience does a coach/fan base have?

I'd argue that Mett never lacked in the confidence or balls department. Sure he had to learn what throws he can or can't make and the little nuances of the game but he was always sure of himself and never looked scared.

Eason doesn't have the mental fortitude.
