re: Why should Eason start over Fromm?

Fromm is better than Murray was when Murray first started. Murray's turnovers turned a hand full of winning games into losses. All people remember is Murray's senior year.

Murray wanted to take off running early in his career when pressured.
Fromm has more poise at the same point in his career.

I agree. With what we lose on defense this might be our best year to make a run for it. Next year will be a rebuild and then right back into it in 19 I think. So why change what's working?

Murray had David Andrews and company in front of him too though.

First of all, I think Eason should get another shot as he really did get screwed this year.

I believe that in this system every player gets a shot every week. So I agree he should and will get ample opportunity to get his job back. I personally don't think he's the gamer Fromm is but apparantley practices well so we'll see.

Correct. By not throwing the ball away as he should have done, he set himself up for a totally unnecessary out of bounds hit. It was a very poor decision.

---

That's a reach. It was reasonable for him to expect to be able to cruise out of bounds without some dipshit hitting him late.

That would not be an expected outcome of that decision.

Arm strength.

Again arm strength. They both bring different things t the table. Physically it is Eason and the intangibles favor Fromm. If Fromm had Eason's arm there would be no discussion.

While this is just my opinion, I give intangibles a slight edge over physical attributes....but it's very slight.

In this case, I don't think arm strength is as much of a factor on most pass plays. Better decision-making and accuracy trumps arm strength most of the time. Fromm has shown he can throw the deep ball and put it in a place where our receivers can make plays. If he can throw it 40 yards downfield, that's good enough to open things up for our running backs.

Forcing the ball into tight windows is great if you're accurate and it's the right and/or necessary decision. Eason didn't show great accuracy last year. I think that was one of the biggest reasons we had so many drops: he threw the ball like he was shooting a cannon and the balls weren't right on the money, making our receivers make plays on quick balls that hit them in the hands instead of the numbers. Fromm has been more consistent so far in hitting players between the numbers and he has put enough touch on the ball to make the less accurate passes more catchable.

If Eason was able to make better decisions with the ball and had better touch and accuracy, I'd give him the nod every day of the week, especially with his experience. But as of right now, the only thing I'd give him the edge on is his arm, which isn't enough, IMO.

The problem is if you wait until you lose, then you're an idiot for not playing the guy who won the job... and you're championship is done. If you put Eason in now and you lose, then youre an idiot for not sticking with Fromm and youre championship is done.

If you put Eason in and win, we'll hear how it was the team and Fromm would've won too. If you leave Fromm in and win, you'll never know what Eason might've done.. You can't win this.. but if Eason plays and wins.. I'll look forward to the excuses as for why he shouldn't have played. How Fromm got robbed... and why the same excuses you are making for one somehow will not apply to the other. It will indeed be fun to read

Your post was 100% drivel. You are completely laughable.
