I should have said as a passer I guess. He did have that really good third down run that lead to one of his rushing TDs.

As a passer, it was a bad outing. Really bad reads, probably should have had more than one pick (and would have against a more competent defense). Fortunately, we didn't need to throw it any more than we did though. That's not to say "Fromm is awful, bench him"... simply, today was not a good day for him in the air. Some nice scrambles, but bad decision not to slide on the first one and took a pop. The 2 RZ scrambles on the other hand were quite nice.
I keep reading shite like this. Should've/ could've/ would've against a better defense....he is a freshman playing against the teams we have on our schedule. I can buy the Sanford and App State aren't elite talent talk but Notre Dame and Tennessee on the road are about as tough as a freshman at UGA has had it. Exactly who and when are we playing this better competition y'all talk about. This kid is 18, and it seems half of our fan base wants to dismiss him because he hasn't done something Eason had? Ok, he hasn't beat Mizziou on a 4th and 10 and thrown a long pass to a WR against UT, to lose on some bullshite Hail Mary. He has however gone 5-0 and played within his role and routed 4 teams. What the hell do y'all want out of him. Eason hasn't scored a touchdown this year. Last year he threw 16 touchdowns with 8 picks. Not like Eason was a world beater. I don't know what gives and why can't I buy into the whole Eason is so much better. Fromm is playing better than Eason ever did.

You are a Fromm homer, it's all good. We are trying to tell you everything you are wanting to hear, but you keep saying how Eason hasn't done shite this year. He hasn't played this year, but he has only had 4 pass attempts.

I probably shouldn't bother with you at this point... Clearly you have trouble reading. If you are satisfied with Fromm's performance today AS A PASSER and believe that it would be sufficient to consistently win football games, I don't know what else to tell you. Every game from now until the end of the season should be building towards what we all hope is an eventual showdown in Atlanta, against all likelihood Bama. As I said... I don't give a frick who plays QB for us... so long as it's the QB that gives us the best chance GOING FORWARD to win.
That very well could be Fromm... and I see no reason why we should change starting QBs at this point, even with a lackluster day as a passer today. But that doesn't mean that Eason shouldn't be getting *real* snaps (assuming healthy) in the next two games to run standard offense rather than pure handoffs, as you're seeing with Tua at Bama.
Better defenses we will face this season: Vandy? UF - probably Auburn - yes Bama? - if so, yes...
So about half of the remaining schedule will likely have a better defense than what we played against today.

It's also probably worth pointing out that the real reason we scored 41 is because we turned them over 5 times, one time on downs at about their own 30.

All we can do is play week to week, play to play. I'm wasn't calling you out exclusively but it seems for the last few weeks it's always next week before Fromm earns his dues. I didn't say his passing was great, but I think he played better than any freshman we've have in a long time....for the last 5 weeks. Play calling by CJC is hamstringing our offense but Fromm is still producing. He's making some freshman mistakes (I.e. missing Michel for a touchdown in the first quarter) but I believe he thought he was throwing into a penalty (not called). Again I say, I don't care who the QB is, this run, run (inside the guards) and set ourselves up for 3rd and long and let a defense pin their ears back, when everyone knows we are passing playcalling isn't helping anyone. IMO Fromm is playing great with the cards he's been dealt in CJM. I don't see much better coaching/ scheming/ teams than we've played in Notre Dame, Miss State, and Tennesse minus Bama. If we make it to Atlanta, by then I'm hoping there is some rythm and fluidity to this offense. Cheney is horrible and he needs to go. He is the weak link.

Not as hostile an environment, but as I said, he isn't afraid to be out there with the game on the line. Did you not read my post? Fromm did not have a very good game tonight IMO. 7-15 84 yds 1 td 1 int isn't a very good game. Eason was 17-28 211 yds 2 td and 1 int against a better Tenn team with worse OL play last year.
Don't forget that Fromm won his game and Eason lost his game against Tennessee.

On the two plays where Fromm broke the pocket to rush for TDs.....well, I don't think Eason would have done that. I feel that he would have tried to zip a pass to a covered receiver and either thrown it so hard that neither receiver not DB could catch it or sailed it 2 yards over everyone's head. I think we would have been greater than 50% of getting FGs instead of TDS with Eason at the helm. I just like Fromms football IQ better.

How can anyone think that Fromm isn't making mistakes out there? See how many TO's we had to waste because of him trying to check out of shite at the line? How often he stares down his WR? Did yall want to ignore the horrible INT? Luckily we are playing shitty teams and our DEF is one of the best in the nation.
Plus Fromm has only thrown the ball over 15 times, only once this season (ND). Last year by the time we finished playing TENN, Eason had over 15 attempts every game except his first game ever as a qb in college (UNC).
I think from those numbers, it is quite obvious that both offensive teams are vastly different. Last year, we couldn't rely on the running game and had to have Eason sling it to stay in games (and almost win games). Fromm hasn't been asked to do these things. We saw how easy it can be for a qb when you have a excellent running game and only ask the qb to throw it less than 15 times a game.

Again, he had 1 whole freaking pass attempt.
Which would have been a touchdown, if he didnt throw the ball 1000 mph and high for the receiver. That same ball from Fromm has touch, and is likely 6 points.

Fib, I think you see what you are dealing with here. And you know it's not worth it to keep wasting keystrokes on this debate. I know it's difficult to drop the shovel sometimes, but you and I both know this is not a place receptive to reason, logic and non-extremist opinions.

Please,you have no way of knowing that.Fromm had a bad
passing day and some horrible throws.Just glad he was able to hurt them running the ball

I cannot fricking fathom why people would want Eason in the game. He is better than Fromm in one attribute. Arm strength. And he breaks our receivers hands to do it. Fromm had a bad game passing and we won by fricking 40, not to mentioned he shows he isn't a pocket statue like Eason. Fromm already has more valuable experience. Shut the frick up let Eason transfer to Washington State and bring on Fields

The big decision is how do you treat them in practice. Traditionally the started gets the majority of the reps to stay sharp. Giving reps to Eason is taking reps away from QB1.

Fromm played like shite yesterday and pretty bad at Notre Dame. Yes, in both he pulled it together late, but without our defense being so rediculous, we lose both of those games because of his boneheaded mistakes.
Eason's going to get a shot at some real starting action, maybe even as a platooning deal, by the Missouri game and may the best man win.
Just stop treating Fromm like he's Joe Montana, because he has definitely had his share of moronic frick ups.
