    "In 89, Billy Joe Hobart,the Gatorade state player of the year and highest rated QB in the nation, committed to Washington. Hobart redshirted in 89 and was second string in '90 as Mark Brunnell had a lock on the job. Everything looked great going into 91 until Brunnell blew his knee out. Hobart stepped in and the rest was history."


    So youre pumping up Eason by saying that a 3rd year QB named Hobart is the same as a true freshman named Eason. Jesus Christ. BTW Eason wouldnt come in and wait 3 years behind Browning to play like you say Hobart did.. He would have transferred.

    Fuck off Spooge.

    UW closest quality QB prospect behind Browning is a HS junior. Carta Samuels and Tony Gonzalez are strictly bench material. Ronnie Fouch. Johnny Durocher. Jeff Lindquist. Hobart stayed when Brunnell won the job and looked like he wouldn't start until his junior high until Brunnell got hurt. Damon Huard, like him or not committed in 91 knowing he'd likely sit for two years before Hobart was scheduled to leave.

    Doogish: Eason originally committed to Georgia when Myles was UWs QB, well before Browning established himself at Washington (Hi Kim) If Eason didn't want to compete against Myles and Lindquist, than yeah, he is a pussy.

    Great coaches and great programs attract and sign the best prospects. So,Hobart waited. Damon Huard, like him or not was the highest rated QB nationally when he committed with Hobart and Brunnell in front of him. He waited.

    Top QBs aren't afraid to go to Alabama, Ohio State, USC. Most wash out and end up transferring. Who cares. The good ones stay. The Blake Barnetts and Max Brownes transfer.

    Our backups were all Peterman's 4th, sometimes 5th choice. Were fucked if they have to play a meaningful role.
    Disagree on Kijana Carta Samuels. He looked like shit last year but he's looked much better (obviously in garbage time) this season. UW wouldn't have the best QB in the conference anymore if Browning got hurt, but I believe KJCS is capable of keeping us winning.

    Player development is a trip.
    Thanks for the shoutout to #MyKJ

    Browning = productive leader

    Eason = attention whore

    Disagree. Comparing their freshman years, Eason has better tools, plays in a better league and performed well in critical, late game situations.

    Clearly, Browning is currently the more effective of the two.

    There's a big drop off from Browning to Samuels and Gonzalez. They're not QBs Peterman can plug in and beat a top ranked team IMO.

    I agree coaches that look to their QBs as saviors are doomed to fail but to ignore a clear talent gap is foolish.
    L O freaking L.

    Your original argument was that it doesn't matter that Eason isn't playing that great he has an unquantifiable "it" that makes him a winner.

    Now that he has lost three out of four I don't see anything from you about WINNERS WINNING. Now he apparently "performs well" and comes up short despite his valiant efforts.

    The thing is he was never playing well even when his team was winning. I pointed out that his defense was winning games in spite of his shit play and he wasn't likely to continue getting lucky to pull games out against better teams. What do you know the chickens have come home to roost.

    Disagree. Browning was much better as a freshman.

    If Browning played like Eason did as a frosh we'd never questioned his clutchness because we wouldn't have had any close games for him to blow at the end. Frosh Browning was far more accurate, from the beginning.

    Eason's ceiling is still sky high, but he's worse than Browning as a frosh and he's sure as hell gonna be worse than Browning as a sophomore. He's gonna have a lot of catching up to do if he's gonna pass Jake.
    Eason has won a couple close ones at the end as a freshman

    Yes I get that.

    Plug his performance into 2015 UW and the close ones Jake lost at the end wouldn't have been close enough for Eason to win at the end. The whole game matters, not just the last few minutes.

    That doesn't make any sense. Jake sucked the whole game too. He didn't lose shoot outs
