He has certainly gone through progressions. He did so on his first TD run against UTk where his first and second targets were covered and he took off running. Granted, at that point pressure was coming down on him, but he still looked that way before running. Also, it's strange how most of his pre-snap reads are good. He just happens to lock on to a target that is open or has a great matchup. He's got to be super lucky, our receivers have made drastic improvements over last year, or he's making good pre-snap reads so that he doesn't have to go through his progression as much. I don't know which one it is but he's been very successful so far with only a couple glaringly bad misreads

Sorry man, I cant agree. I think you are just spinning things at this point because you just love the guy and thats okay. The presnap reads are a joke.. he is throwing to his primary and reading absolutely nothing. The article where Hardeman quoted him saying in the huddle he was throwing to him was a clear indication of this. His throw to Nauta in the Tenn game is another. Nauta fell out early in the route. If the play goes to X he's throwing it there. If it goes to Y, he's throwing it there. Your timing numbers support this beyond all. He cant drop back in the pocket and make 2 or 3 reads in an avererage of 1.5 seconds on the regular dude. I'm sorry, he isn't reading a got-dam thing bro. His primary targets have just been super wide open a lot because we run the ball 70% of the time.

Nah, this is referencing a comment I made earlier about our passing offense being last in the league in yards, 11th in completion percentage ect. He said if you take out our other players pass attempts we move up to 5th, but you would also have to do that for every other team in the league as well to make that statement relevant.

I can respect your argument but the fact is we only had to score more than 3pts one game and 0pts in the other. I'm gonna go with we would've done that running the Wild Dawg all day in both games.

:cheers:

Except one glaring difference everyone keeps ignoring... Eason had 151 pass attempts thru 5 games
Fromm has 84 pass attempts thru 5 games

Eason was asked to do twice as much with a substantially worse team. It's not comparable if you are being remotely fair about it

Of course his stats would suffer as a result

He has 4 pass attempts this season

True statement cited in many articles on the subject. You would lose credibility for not knowing that. Sorry, you started it. look it up :spank:

Gotta admit that would theoretically do it. It would leave little room for argument unless he "Fromms" it and plays good but not great and wins. Then you have the "well, we won with Eason too, so chemistry wasn't broken chatter."

Ahh, but there in lies the rub. We asked Eason to single handedly win games with his arm last year on a much worse team. That alone made his numbers look substantially lower than they might otherwise while there where many more drops as well. No one is making Godwins catch in the endzone on last years team. Wimms isn't snatching a for sure interception out of a defenders hands for a 30yrd gain. I found it amusing hearing the announcers label Fromms penchant for throwing to his primary receiver at all costs a "pre-snap read" essentially excusing him for never going through his progressions.

We don't ask Fromm to do what we asked Eason to do last year and under far worse circumstances. Yet he did rise to the occasion several times. We just can't know what Eason is capable of when surrounded by a decent supporting cast. It certainly could be worse, but it could be incredible. Labeling Fromm the better QB is extreme folly to say the least. Doesn't make it untrue, just a bit of a gamble on limited info. Fromm running last years offense throwing as much as Eason is likely a record number of interceptions. He loves the 50/50 balls and sooner or later they fall on the other teams 50 too.

Umm.. you sir have a future in drama. And the only name being called is your projection of what Trash is.. now go read a book and let the adults talk :booboo:
