    Disagree, college football history is littered with teams that over-achieved because of a game changer quarterback. There's a reason Mark Helfrich coached in a national title game.

    Eason is far from the biggest problem on this year's team, but we still win a lot more than 7 games if we have a "savior" at QB.
    Watson, Mariota, and Cam Newton were all game changer, messiah QBs. Eason was nowhere near these guys, but he played well enough for this team to be 10-2. Cal, Stanford and Colorado were burned out coach, un-inspired crap football.
    Why do you hate Tim Tebow?

    I don't. But Cam, Marcus and Watson all played on teams that which were well outside of the usual Top 10 or better talent level (by TBS rankings) and willed their squads to NT game (and won it in 2/3 of these examples). Those Florida teams were usual in the Top 5 give or take in terms of overall talent.

    But yes, Tebow had more of a religious flair about him.

    Meanwhile down at USC, Slovis might be the best QB in the PAC next year.

    I don;t think that Eason liked what was going on but didn't feel like he earned the cred to say as much as he would like. He mentioned a couple of times that he said something but the team was still pretty lifeless and passive and so was Big Dick

    If he stays Jimmy needs to take the leash off and let the Big Dick eat

    This team needs leaders among the players more than anything.

    I'd like to see what Eason can do on an inspired team with better leadership from him and others. Guess we'll know soon enough if we'll get the opportunity or not.
    QBs should be at the center of inspiring the team and providing leadership. If he didn't do it last year what mss as makes you think he'll do it in the future. He was a major disappointment in that area.

    I'd like to see what Eason can do without the brainlock of a 20 multiples FS offense. Maybe he sucks, maybe he's a savior EWIWBC.

    Let it Rip!

    Joe Burrow....true?
    Joe Burrow was an average college QB until they hired Joe Brady. He put similar passing numbers to Browning last year

    In fairness to Eason, I didn't turn on Browing until well into 2017 when it became clear early 2016 was his ceiling and he was in full regression mode. At this point, Eason doesn't look like a pro bowler at the next level. But it's certainly possible he could have a 1st or 2nd team all Pac 12 type of season in 2020 if the o-line isn't a total dumpster fire and Newton and Cam Davis can move the sticks.
