I’m scared it’s because Eason isn’t that good. I still think he will start because the other QB’s are horrible, but this game wouldn’t be happening if Eason was lighting it up. I hope I’m wrong.PostGameOrangeSlices said:This has to be a "Haener and Sirmon committed to us out of high school, Skinny didnt want to compete with Browning" type thing for Pete. Humble Eason the first week or so and then let the fucking guy make plays and start.
Right guys? Right...? -

I see what you are saying. This is classic beta Petersen though. I have a hard time believing him not naming Eason the starter. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't name a starter until game week against Eastern. It is going to take a awhile.RoadDawg55 said:

Not sure how productive this whole mind game with Eason is going to help.

Either he'll realize he needs to push himself when no other QB will push himself or he'll break under the mental pressure of it all and throw 1000 picks.FirePete said:Not sure how productive this whole mind game with Eason is going to help.

And here we go again. 90 minutes of the first day of camp and people are already reaching for conclusions.

I don’t think the board, and quite honestly Husky fans, have ever been more united in one thing.PostGameOrangeSlices said:I cant handle the ups and downs of the Eason situation
I also just want to say this. EVERYONE KNOWS EASON WILL MAKE MISTAKES! So will Haener! SO DID OUR FOURTH YEAR STARTER QB LAST YEAR.
But modern football needs to risk mistakes, and you have to take the upside, the problem is we didn’t have upside the last many years at QB.
It’s gonna look completely different if Eason starts, more like the Tui years when I wanted to throw things at him and then the next play I wanted to fan him with palms (lots of ppl forget how maddening he was at times). We also have an elite defense that can protect against mistakes.
You have to let the talent go and see what happens. We have 12 games, THAT IS IT. -

I still hope Eason starts for plenty of reasons, but if you haven’t already moved onto Sam Huard as your QB Saviour you’re going to get very hurt. -
I’ll just say, unless you’re seeing it with your own eyes, practice reports can be very unreliable, Oregon beat writers had costa and DT “neck and neck” the summer before 2010. Same with Mariota and costa summer before 2012. In reality, neither competition was close at all. Thanks Jude and Moseley!
