Kent Griswold locks Fink Vs. Eason thread

All of the posts just reinforce the obvious. You need to get a good QB every year.
As good as I think Browning is, the percentages would likely favor him being a bust. If KJCS wins the job and plays well this year, Browning might never play until his senior year barring injuries and mop up time.
What if Fink or Eason come in the year after and are better QB's?
Eason will have to compete anywhere he goes. Georgia will have a couple QB's already there and they will surely bring in some good ones once Eason arrives. I'm not sure basin your decision on the easiest path to a starting job is necessarily a wise decision. -
Schools like georgia are going to always recruiting on top of you. Year after year. No matter what your stars are in h/s, still gotta prove it. That's why the * rating system sucks for so many kids. Setting unrealistic expectations before they step on campus.RoadDawg55 said:All of the posts just reinforce the obvious. You need to get a good QB every year.

Nobody has a clue how these kids will develop when the game speeds up. UGA has to have a death wish to put a true frosh on the field in their conference. The only reason that I'm rooting for a frosh to play for UW is b/c the alternative is cyler miles. Otherwise, I would prefer to see a R/S Soph play. 2 years in the system and then play their third year. -
Miles, Lindquist and Williams would be stars if Sark would have stayed. Kim says so.whatshouldicareabout said:
Cyler Miles, Jeff Lindquist, and Troy Williams were considered elite QBs by some (with Miles and Williams being in the Top 100 overall of their respective classes by 247).Doogles said:
We've been over this before in a past thread. All these kids look good in high school. Just out of Washington the past 5 years you have 2 QBs ranked #1 in the COUNTRY in Jake Heaps and Max Browne. Neither went to UW and neither has done shit (admittedly Browne hasn't had his turn, but the clock is ticking and I bet he didn't expect Kessler returning).FreeChavez said:
Everyone remember when max browne was going to be handed the reigns at USC from day 1?HuskyInAZ said:This concept of Eason starting from day 1.......
Georgia's past recruiting classes:
2014 class - QB Jacob Park - 8th ranked QB
2013 class - QB Brice Ramsey - 7th ranked QB
Those 2 may be stiffs, I have no idea. But they were certainly highly thought of out of HS. Looks like Skinny may have competition regardless of where he goes to school.
Now we have Eason the #2 QB in the COUNTRY and there is some sense that the program will be lost without him and that he has been handed the Georgia job.
Every elite program is going to take an elite QB in every class. This is where the men separate from the boys. At some point these guys have to compete and prove their worth. The camp mentality and being told you are a 5 star by adults since you were 16 has softened todays recruits. -

So now we're comparing Browning not only to Kellen Moore but to two of the top five greatest QBs of alltime?Tequilla said:Joe Montana was 6'2" 205 and did not rely on a rocket arm ...
Tom Brady is 6'4" and 225 ... definitely wouldn't say he has a cannon either.
Browning is 6'1" ... so he's comparable to Montana ... maybe just slightly smaller than Brady. Not too worried about him size wise ... would only be concerned with him if he proves to have a noodle arm.
What makes this reasoning hopelessly fucktarded is that Montana had going for him the fact that he was JOE FUCKING MONTANA. Brady same. Do we think it's no big deal to even be 6'0" anymore, just because Russell Wilson is 5'11"?
Browning is a teenager. He has neither plus height nor plus bulk nor plus armstrength nor plus footspeed. How 'bout we let him suit up a couple times before we start bronzing his bust for Canton? -
The success of a QB at the college level, to some extent but even more so in the NFL, is what's between the ears. It's impossible to project that at the HS level. There may be indicators, as is true with Browning, but the size and speed of players at the next level, as well as the sophistication of defensive schemes, decrease the decision making window. HS superstars often become college backup because of this. Jake Heaps says hello. Height, bulk, arm strength and foot speed are nice to haves, but they not requirements for success in college or the NFL. If they were, Tim Tebow, who was a great college QB, would be All Pro instead of being up in the press box giving commentary.

You probably should go take a walk and get some perspective.TTJ said:

Nobody is saying that Browning is Montana or Brady.
What I'm saying is that there are examples of guys that are either not the tallest or have the strongest arms that have been successful at the highest level. There's far more to being a high end QB than height and arm strength despite what some would lead you to believe.
I have no clue how good Browning will be ... but from everything that I'm seen/read/heard about him, I would be surprised if he wasn't a strong college QB or if his height or arm strength became significant issues.
