As fans, how did a majority of DawgNation turn it's back on Eason just like that? It was almost a year ago that when Mark Richt was fired, fans of UGA football were worried that Eason might slip through their grasps and head to Florida. I was there at the G-Day game when everybody rose to their feet and gave Eason a standing ovation. He beat out Lambert for the starting job at QB and had some ups and downs his first year as a true freshman QB. A year and 3 passes later, DawgNation is calling for his head and welcoming Fromm as the new QB. This type of fan base is cancerous to the program and to the player. Why have we not given Eason a chance? Is it because he was 1-3 with 4 yards and is still considered inaccurate? That's hard to determine after 3 passes. What happens to Fromm if he performs horribly for the next few games while Eason is out? Do we call for his head too? I hate the fan bases that do this. Fromm showed poised and leadership capabilities on Saturday, but some of his throws were questionable and made out of luck. If you think that his first TD pass to Wims in double coverage was skill and not out of sheer luck, then you don't watch football. Wims bailed the kid out. If that pass happened during an SEC game, that would have been a pick. Fromm showed that he can lead Georgia to a bright future, but the fact that in many other forums and social media platforms downplaying Eason and calling for Eason to transfer, makes me sick to my stomach.
Eason will still be my first string QB until he proves otherwise. 3 passes in and an unfortunate injury does not warrant someone to lose their starting spot.
