Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

How do you define a successful season for Eason?

Eason played as a true freshman for Georgia in 2016 (threw 55.1% for 2430 yards, 16 TD, 8 INT, for 120.3 rating), sat out in 2017, transferred in, and lead our scout offense in 2018.

What are your expectations for Eason this year? Are you looking for certain passer stats or offensive stats? Are you going to measure success by wins and losses? And if so, what threshold constitutes a successful season for our new QB?

    If the team wins I will give him credit for being a great quarterback because I'm a doog regardless of his actual performance.

    He will be successful if he fulfills his role in the offense, whatever that is. This includes not turning the ball over frequently and constantly losing yards because he wilts under pressure. If he game manages us to victories, great. If he is the star who throws incredible balls that win games for us that is great too. He just had better not make us worse and cost us games.

    With our defense, we are going to be close in every game (at a minimum, of course blow some teams out). Browning never could grind out a win in a game that was a hard fought game. When the offensive line wasn't the best and/or the ground game never got going.

    A successful season for Eason is for him to win those grind it out games. If not then he goes on the same shit pile as Browning.

    I don't expect his stats to be great honestly. He couldn't throw over 60% at Georgia, I'm not expecting that here. Which is fine if he makes those 3 or 4 throw a game that he has to for the W.

    Stats are for loosers. Win or GTFO.

    I think throwing darts and frozen ropes in the red zone will have a more positive impact on our wins and loss total than scrambling backwards to get out of field goal range will.

    This the exact reason Bush had to get cute from the 10 yard line out in the redzone or on obvious passing situations.

    I expect Drew Bledsoe to be his floor...except in the win column.

    Max of one regular season loss and a top 5 finish in 2019. Or diaff.

    Doesn't really matter what Eason does if he isnt worse then Browning, as long as Chico is back.

    just needs to improve over what Jake gave us - so if Jake can run backwards for 35 yards and evade getting sacked by Stanford I would say Heisman

    Eason will throw some INTs but he'll be fine. Do people forget he started as a true frosh at Georgia and showed off some big-time talent?

    Could he have a lower bar to overcome? Just dont handicap the offence with throwing the ball into cbs hands on throw aways and then be able to throw further than 10 yards down the field. I have seriously low expectations of someone ive never seen play in husky Stadium but I still can't see it be worse than jake

    He threw 8 INTs in the SEC as a true freshman ... so something in the 8-10 range or less at UW is definitely reasonable.

    The reality is that the defense will take a step back next year incorporating a lot of youth and it wouldn't shock me if the D gave up in the neighborhood of 20-24 points per game next year (particularly in the 1st half of the season). We gave up on average 18 a game on D last year in P5 games and scored 24 in those games.

    I think the goal for Eason would be to get the offense up into the 31-34 point per game range ... that will take a lot of pressure off of the defense early in the year.

    you must have not looked at the schedule defense will still average under 20 given up, bunch a cupcakes in my opinion
