Eason vs. Browning

I think you are thinking of a different Tony Eason ...
"Skinny's" dad played college ball at Notre Dame ...
The Eason you are thinking of played at Illinois before going to the NFL -
And perhaps the long and the short of my feelings on Eason can be summed up by the fact that he likes to be called "Skinny" ... something about that feels way too high maintenance to be a QB IMO

“It was just the two dads,” Kent Woerner told the AJC. “Jacob was gone, and Charlie was gone. He hollered at me. He came up here on Sunday, and I took him around and showed him around Rabun County. We got a bite to eat. I showed him the high school, and some of the mountain tops that we have here. I told him ‘I know these mountain tops don’t compare with what you have in Washington.’

I just wish we had both and they could duke it out.

Not that it really matters, but Gunnar Kiel isn't really a bust. He left Notre Dame, but he had a good sophomore season at Cincinatti last year and is getting NFL hype.

It would be great to have Eason for exactly the reason that you give yourself another option to come in and prove it ... and at this point, it's hard to not believe that whatever QB we get in this class (assuming we get one) will probably fall short of Eason.
I'm more pissed about the Eason situation from the perception standpoint of losing an in-state kid.
I do think that he's more likely to be a bust than a star. I don't like the high maintenance that his family and posse are appearing to be. It wouldn't shock me if Petersen saw that and decided that he wasn't worth the trouble and wasn't a fit in the program. If true, it sucks. But at the same time, Pete will get judged by the results on the field. If Browning is who we think he is and he follows it up next year with a high level recruit that is able to make the Browning to next QB transition seamless then eventually we'll all forget about Eason. But if Browning isn't the guy and/or we continue to struggle recruiting QBs, then Eason becomes a bigger deal and it's absolutely valid to criticize Pete to the point that it probably is a damning commentary on his tenure. -
All that matters now is that we basically F'd up 2016 QB recruiting. I really like Browning, but I HATE not getting a QB every year. We will likely take an average QB this year and have a lot of pressure to get a good one next year.
If we land someone good next year, and Browning or KJCS show something this year, I will feel a lot better about life.
Thank goodness we have recruited OL so skrong (even with losing Eletise). -
Glass half empty looks at the QB situation this year as a "can't miss" for 2017's class and the pressure for Pete to get a good fill there ...
Glass half full says that the QB situation for 2017 will be more appealing to a high end QB with a more direct path to playing ... particularly true if Browning is playing this year.
