Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
After someone posted about how much success Eason had in the rough, tough SEC East (the little brother living off big brother’s reputation) in 2016 I thought I’d see if my impression that he was just ok bore out through SEC competition.
Meh.
Played 8 SEC games. Went 4-4. The 4 SEC wins came against teams with a combined 25-26 record.
50% completion rate. 136/271
Threw 34 times per game. Had 9 TDs in 8 games.
Number like that for a UW QB would get him killed here.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution said the best memory UGA fans have of Eason is how well he handled being benched. Ouch.
I’m not saying Eason can’t be a great college QB. He wasn’t terrible as a freshman. I’m saying he’s done little to earn the level of optimism fans have. Maybe he wins the spot next year, and maybe he performs great and heads to the NFL. But if he does it will represent a massive improvement, which would be kind of amazing after two years of not playing.

UGA that year was like Washington in 2015...critical peices got experience which led to a huge run.
Difference being that unlike Washington playing in a powder soft conference (fucking Colorado won the South...), Georgia was playing in the SEC. Not as forgiving. And Eason has the arm strength Browning can only dream of. Is Eason a guaranteed Heisman contender? No, but he should be solid.
All that said Pete start Haener out of OKG process spite and Eason grad transfers to WSU

Lo and behold... this crops up.
Doogs are consistent if nothing else. There is nothing they won't tear down to try to make the case for someone who sucks.
He made many mistakes but also was pretty impressive for his time there. Arm strength was off the charts. Mobility? Ehh
Thought he would be a helluva qb by year 3 or even 4 there with experience.
GA is loaded. They have someone breathing down Fromms back right now. No fault to Eason caus he had an injury. Unlike Hurts from Bama, Eason chose to leave. IMO he will be OK.
But you never know, things could change.
