Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
I'm not worried about Haener beating out Eason
This thing might stretch past the EWU game but ultimately Eason is going to start.
I am worried that Eason isn't nearly as good as most of us want to believe he is.
Obviously I think he's better than Brownsocks and the walking turnover, but if he was the stud that his recruiting hype suggests he would have put Haener away in the spring or at worst the first week of summer.
The reality is Eason is most likely exactly what we saw at Georgia - a big, strong armed QB with serious accuracy issues. And probably not the highest football IQ.
He'll make opponents defend the whole field and probably have a handful of NTD, BB throws. But he's not the QB savior we've been waiting for.

The Cal game will reveal all
All we need out of Skinny is to be an decent upgrade from Browning. Add in some improvement in the kicking game and we're going to skull fuck a lot of teams.
We're likely not going to the CFP this year so it's a moot point. But the recruiting level up in the trenches gives us a lot better shot to hold our own in 2020 or 21 if we face one of those teams.
Agee with your second sentence.
That's Eason.
Yeah, he's not Tom Brady with a rocket arm ... but he doesn't have to be.
The other team just has to be scared enough that a ball will go over their defense in stride for 6 points and the rest will take care of itself. Keep them honest.
Brownsocks, against a weaker team can keep them guessing even though Washington was playing football in a phonebooth.
Against better teams brownsocks crumbled and the field was too small to operate in.
Looking forward to this season.
