I would say Stafford was better at throwing the deep ball accurately. Eason better at pressure situations.
Just my opinion, and I am not an expert when it comes to QB's.

Lawrence and Hockman would have been two that he would have been in stiff competition with.
-------------------
I believe you first said Eason would not have started at several metro ATL schools. There's a difference between not starting and having QB competition.

Wasn't me who said that. That was GermanDawg. I disagreed with him and said he would have started for every metro team save maybe 2 or 3. He and Hockman would have been great competition if they were on the same team. He and Fromm would have been good competition. Had he played against Ga AAAAAAAA competition, he would likely be the QB everyone thinks he is.

Eason is not better at anything that Stafford, except for maybe not throwing interceptions, and he had many would be INTs dropped this past year. Stafford threw too many INTs because he had too much belief in his arm. Stafford also had a lot of passes dropped his first two seasons.

Bailey Hockman can't hold Jacob Eason's jock strap.
ETA: Atlanta has great HS football, but acting like a dude who won a SEC starting job over a returning starter (who won 10 games) wouldn't be a serious standout is way over the top.

Anyone here think Tom Brady has a better arm than Eason?
In his younger days, it was every bit as strong

Of course Eason isn't better than 2016 Stafford, but Wg is talking about 2006 Stafford. You forget how Stafford played early.
You have somehow mixed up what folks said lambert's limited ints with Eason. There weren't a lot of dropped ints last year like in 2015.

Possibly. But I remember him struggling with the medium throws moreso than the deep ones. It has been awhile, though. When Eason throws deep, it seems he struggles with his mechanics and we get wobbly balls and seemingly weaker throws.
I realize Eason has a strong arm, but it does no good if you are throwing off your back foot or while backing up.
I still think Eason will be fine this year and show improvement and be everything we thought he would be the next year.

His deep passes looked much improved at g day.

Truth be told , the competition is a very calculated strategy by KS, to keep the fire under Eason. And the only people who believe Fromm has a chance are on a UGA board like this.
Most experts believe and rightly so, Eason is clearly the 1 and it's isn't a comparison.

Anyone who thinks Eason will ever get close to as good as Stafford was at UGA is in for a big disappointment. Stafford struggled, but as the season went on he was obviously learning to handle pressure and think faster. He was much more mobile in the pocket and was starting to look around for receivers. He could move and still get into position to throw in a hurry. Mental and physical tools (natural ability) were there for Stafford that Eason just doesn't have. Really the only similarity is that both could throw with a lot of velocity, but even there Stafford has and had the advantage.

Yet Eason in the final month and bowl game had a similar passer rating as to stafford's sophomore season. People forget stafford wasn't above average until his junior year, and even then he had plenty of stinkers.

I hope you're wrong, and any true DAWG fan should also hope you're wrong. I think the game will slow down for Eason this year
Posted on 4/25/17 at 7:56 pm to djsdawg
I don't care about his passer rating his freshman year. He was smarter, faster, more coordinated, quicker, stronger arm and more accurate once he got comfortable than Eason ever will be. He's just a better quarterback.

I'd love to be wrong too, but I'm not. First off, Matt Stafford is proven to be a top quarterback at any level. One of the most highly paid professional athletes there is. I don't even need to have ever watched him or have any ability to understand his skill to know that he's almost certainly better than Jacob Eason. Not in terms of a current comparison of the two, but in terms of innate ability. That's a matter of simple probabilities.
But, having watched the two of them as freshmen at UGA, it doesn't look close to me. And Stafford's gift as a qb is not just my opinion. Gil Brandt predicted he'd be the #1 player drafted when he was in HS. At the elite 11 competition, they said, "It's Matthew Stafford and everyone else". Hoping for Eason to be better than MS is great, but it's not a realistic assessment.

maybe he'll never be as great as Stafford, but I believe he will be a serviceable QB at UGA for the next two years.

You don't care about facts? You should. Amazing how awesome Stafford was in your flawed memory. His play should have been much better than they were. 55% comp as a sophomore.

Name one Georgia QB slower and less coordinated than Eason. Jacob seems mentally and physically slow.
I sure as hell hope that I'm wrong.

David Greene probably was close, physically. It would be great if Eason becomes as competent as Greene, but he has a lot of work to do. But don't waste your time arguing with djs. There's never any logic or meaning in his posts or arguments.
