It's not so much a problem short-term. Sure, Fromm did well enough but he wasn't going to transfer. Mullen took in Franks (one of the worst SEC QBs in a while), Kyle Trask (wasn't a starter at his high school), Emory Jones (True Freshman) -- probably one of the worst QB Stables one could ask for, but still didn't take a transfer since it likely meant Trask and Franks transferring.
The problem is the long term. Would you rather have a 9 - 3 year last year, or this year? Because right now that's what UGA could ultimately be staring at, with a QB battle in the middle of the year (everyone has abandoned Fromm aside from the sensible Georgia fans).
Imagine, instead, that it's Eason in his third year, he doesn't do well and so Fromm can come in as well as Fields. At worst, even if Fields AND Fromm get hurt, Eason has a chance to come back and win his job.
This isn't even a hindsight problem, this is a strategic, planning problem. So now you have one Quarterback everyone is blaming (fairly or unfairly) and a dual-threat Quarterback who literally can't use his legs.
That's as much of a fumble as you can have as an HC.

I think we’re in the middle of a big HC fumble, but that isn’t it. Fields can, has been, and will continue to use his legs.
If our top 2 QBs get hurt, we’re fricked anyways. It’s not like we were going to be able to sign one capable of holding down the fort as a freshman in the same class as Fields, nor do you interrupt a potential championship season last year to put Eason back in.
