I agree with your projection of how fields factors in by I would suggest that if by the time Eason comes back healthy we are 4 or 5-0 and Fromm's QB play has something to do with at least a couple of those wins I'm not sure Eason gets the benefit of a doubt to just pull Fromm for game 6. I think this coaching staff will play the hot hand to win now. And the problem is if Fromm is the hot hand now that kinda by default makes him the hot hand of the future as well. Either way we will have a much better idea come Sunday morning
Breaking News:
People post idiotic things on Facebook and Twitter. Sometimes they're not thinking it through, other times they're not capable of doing so...
@DawgsofWar Thank You
Couldnt agree more buddy. The post game hype around Fromm is understandable but the negativity towards OUR QB Eason is ridiculous ESPECIALLY after a freakin injury w.t.f.! Show some compassion people!
I really like how Chip explained it in his most recent article. In Summary the coaches chose Eason, FIRMLY. They chose Eason for good reasons. They want to win, SEC coaching jobs are always on the line, and they don't choose a QB over seniority, they choose them because they believe they are the best and will get us W's. I trust the coaches that see these players every F'n day over any one of these couch surfing haters.

Sure Fromm did great. And I support him 100% as he fills in for Eason and into the future of his career here. Fromm will be our QB for now and therefore he has my 100% support because I am GA fan. But I want our best QB on the field...and that is EASON.
Eason may of had a shaky start to the game but that is absolutely no way to judge a QB. I got an example for all of you: Rosen at UCLA-completely shut down in the First quarter and for the majority of that game, then out of nowhere he proves he is the golden boy and destroys Texas A&M.
I really wish Eason had the chance to show us his improvements from last year. And I cant wait to have him back. Til Then root for Fromm....he can do it....he is our QB now...and he's all we got.
It was the first game. Give it a rest. Both QB's rated as 5 stars. Most programs should be so lucky.
As I said earlier or in one of the other Fields/Fromm/Eason threads we are getting ahead of ourselves. After the Tennessee game I may have an opinion on how I think it plays out but at this point I don't KNOW whether we are 5-0 or 2-3 nor whether Fromm is close to or better than Eason or we are calling for Ramsey to be the starter. I certainly hope that Fromm is successful and we are 5-0. If he does great that's good right. Whether you are a fan of any of the 3 do we wan't Kirby and UGA to fail just so we can be right? I hope not.
People are praising Fromm bc he won the game.. If he had come in and lost then everyone would be waiting on Eason to come back. Which might be Sunday morning..
People like Fromm because he is confident. He appears to be a leader, which is something we all heard Eason struggled with last year. People also like underdogs and if you go by the physical attributes of Eason and Fromm, most people would pick Eason number 1 because of his physical attributes. I for one like Fromm because I feel he shows more passion than Eason, not that I'm saying Eason doesn't care. But I also believe Eason should keep his job once he comes back because he has game experience. If they were both true freshmen, I would go with Fromm.
People also like Fromm b/c we scored points on his first three drives and Eason did not. Eason hasn't played great consistently and has demonstrated lack of accuracy/touch. When players are hyped as the next great thing and don't live up to them right away fans tend to bury them because fans expectations and reality do not always go hand and hand.
People want to win and unfortunately for Eason, we didn't win last year. That was mostly due to the overall team and not just him, but he didn't show that he could elevate the team consistently (yes i know, there was one play against missouri and tenn each).
This situation could get interesting though if Fromm wins big and Eason is out for 5 games. It would be hard to replace a 5-0 Fromm with the team looking good. Much like last year, when the Dallas Cowboys never went back to Tony Romo while Dak was winning.
Great post. People Fromm or Eason is much less important than how Solomon Kindley and Kendall Baker play along with improvement in play by Lamont Gaillard and Andrew Thomas. This teams season will rise and fall on the OL.
Snoop gonna rally behind who ever is UGA QB 1, be it Fromm, Eason, Ramsey, Mailman or Vaughn
