The difference between Eason and Heaps is that Eason is 6'5" 210 and in a year or two will be 6'5" 225+ and he has a rocket. Worst case scenario, Eason is Zach Mettenberger. Unless he has terrible accuracy, which doesn't look to be the case, I'm not sure how he completely busts.
He looks to me to have a bit of Cutler and Stafford in him ... 2 QBs that have cannon for arms but don't seem to have the complete package.
Eason looks to me to be more interested in living the good life, banging coeds, drinking beer, and being one of the guys instead of being the leader as a QB. Nothing wrong with that in general unless you also have plans on being a dynamic elite QB. That is the kind of behavior that leads to soft teams ... which going to Georgia fits that to a T.
The only QBs off the top of my head that I can think of that were all over the map during the week and then showed up at a high level on the weekend were Ken Stabler and Brett Favre. Most QBs that try to go that route tend to fall flat on their face at some point when you need more than talent to succeed (see Manziel, Johnny).

You think he's going to be a bust, but compare him to two first round picks?
Cutler played at Vandy and got a boat load of credit for taking them I believe to a bowl game because they are Vandy. Had some decent years in the pro's but consensus wise he's massively underperformed.
Stafford was the #1 overall pick. He's had a solid college and pro career full of numbers but has never won anything. This would be my top call on the path that Eason takes.
Johnny Football won a Heisman but looks to flame out in the NFL.
I guess when I say bust, I'm not thinking Jake Heaps style bust. I'm thinking more in terms of being a guy that puts up big numbers, doesn't win as much as you'd think he should, and nobody can seemingly figure out why. He just comes across to a guy that thinks he's the shit and should be crowned ... maybe/hopefully I'm wrong because I like to see guys succeed, particularly the local guys.
It's not the first time I've put out a controversial opinion and it won't be the last.

Does someone have Sploogie's daughter's contact information? Send her on a secret mission to Athens.
He never once said he was going to Georgia in that article...he said "down there." Lake Stevens is north of Seattle last time I checked a map.
He's cumming

I have enough pain in my life already without this shit.
