What are your expectations for Eason and Ahmed?

I think team goals we all expect to -- at a minimum -- win the north and make a NY6. Especially so with how favorable the schedule looks. So dropping team expectations for a second, what about looking individually at Eason and Ahmed?
- Is it reasonable to expect #s for Eason somewhere between Browning 2017-18 and Browning 2016?
- What do you think a fair expectation is for his td/int ratio?
- Will Ahmed get a similar amount of workhorse carries to Gaskin? Is that a good thing?
- Will Eason be given complete carte blanche to change plays at the LOS? (PTSD from Stanford 2017 as Browning repeatedly took the ball out of MMFG's hands, who was steamrolling them, to throw deep OOB passes to Pettis in double coverage...)
- Eason has more attitude/flair/shit talking to him than Browning ever did, will Pete rein that in?
These are two low floor/super high ceiling players we will need to step up in a huge way. How optimistic are you?

I expect Eason to push the ball down field and not need 20 plays to score. How many times did we watch last year's offense peter out in the red zone after an 8 minute drive? I expect him to get the ball out decisively and I expect him to make throws we haven't seen in a very long time. I also expect a few picks and other gunslinger mistakes. I can stomach that.
I don't expect much from Ahmed. I still don't think he's capable of being more than a change of pace back. I expect someone to emerge from McGrew/Pleasant/Dick who can actually run between the tackles and assert themselves as an every down back.
I expect the offense to be leagues better than last year's piss stain. If it's not we're in trouble. -

Ahmed will be better than Gaskin. Because he's faster. He just needed moar tim to get his carries in there.

I can see Eason struggling, but it's going to be downfield at least. That's why Ahmed isn't going to struggle. He could be 3/4 the talent Gaskin is and still put up 1200 yds just bc of how much talent is going to be around him on offense.creepycoug said:Ahmed will be better than Gaskin. Because he's faster.

I don’t think eason’s floor is lower than senior brownsox. So there is more upside in this equation. Problem you don’t have a rb like gaskin to hide ur QB’s deficiencies. Gaskin will be missed more than ppl expect

Herbert went for 29/8 last year and many people thought he struggled and was over rated. There is truth in that but after Browning's last 2 years of 19/5 and 16/10 I would do jumping jacks if Eason did that. I fully expect him to. Ahmed I think hits a 1,000 yds but am hesitant. I think McGrew and Pleasant break out.
