He was our Felipe Frank's. Big arm, just no it factor

If Eason was still the QB, I doubt Fields signs. He probably goes to Penn State. I think Eason would have done well in 2017 because the 2016 O-line and defense was no where near as good as 2017 and he had a respectable 2016. I really liked Eason and I hope does well in the league. I wouldn't mind seeing him in with the Falcons and sit behind Ryan for a few years and develop like Rogers did behind Favre.

I believe Eason's confidence was shattered when he didn't retain his position. In his freshman season he played behind arguably the worse ol in school history but the kid could handle the big moments particularly against Mizzou and Tenn. I hope he does well at the next level wherever he lands.

Not sure he will ever come back to visit at UGA but if he does Dawg fans will welcome him as a DGD. That's just how we roll.

When you look at how he started the App State game before the injury. I believe we would have been 8-5 at best. He has the tools and I believe he is a DGD but I have yet to see him play at a championship level w/ either Dawgs, UGA or UW I will say though he is a man of good character and that is what I truly appreciate him for!

Eason's transfer set the stage for Kirby to keep Fields away from Fl and aubrn. The only aspect to speculate upon is how badly either one of those teams would have beat us (for three staight years) with Fields as their QB. Thanks Kirby.

It was supposed to be the Jacob Eason and Shae Patterson show for three years before they became the first and second picks in the draft. So much for stars and composites!

Jacob became the poster boy for hope after the coaching change. On the one hand, we had the skinny five star "can't miss" QB from Washington, but on the other hand, a grad transfer guard from Rhode Island playing left tackle. 8 and 5 that first year definitely wasn't all on Jacob! Even with a new HC, a new OC, and an offense he was never comfortable running, he gave the program hope. For that, I will always appreciate Jacob!

I won't be surprised at all to see him do great things in the NFL. I will be a fan of whatever team that takes him. GATA, "Skinny"!

I think, if given the right OC/QB coach, he would've been phenomenal(Oklahoma). But with our outdated offense, it was just never meant to be. He had all the talent in the world and people are quick to throw him away. Now that Fromm has experienced that injury bug, does he have shaken confidence like Eason? And it's really sad to say that Eason's "best" receiver he had, was only 5'7" in a league where corners are 6 foot and up. Yeah I know he saved us in the Mizzou game. But if given a better OL and biggers receivers and actual passing to tight ends that they harp on EVERY year, he would've done well. But CKS likes to look at stacked boxes, brings him back to the good ol days of being on defense.

Just watched several Jacob Eason highlights this year. A very talented arm. Does he have the it factor? Does Jake? What is that based on? Practice? Rah-rah noise making? Leading your team to victories? Beating Alabama in the 4th quarter when you have the opportunity to win the Natty? Faltering to get anything going in the 4th quarter again last year against Alabama? The "it factor" doesn't win NC's. It takes talent and a will to not be defeated. Tua had it in the Championship game we he evaded practically all our defense on that one run. Then o the winning play looked one direction and came back and threw that dart dead center in the opposite direction for the win. Hurts had it last year when he used his legs and his arm(threw better than ever before) to bring Bama back. Joe Burrow had it when he dodged Trayvon Walker not once, but twice, on the same play and hit a big pass.

I have yet to see those big moment plays from Jake. Sure he made plays in lesser games, so did Eason. Not saying sticking with Jake was the wrong call. Just adding my 2 cents about the so called "it factor."

Justin Fields may show some "it factor" before everything is said and done. My guess is CKS will be pulling for Clemson.

In that NC game, people forget Tua threw a horrible interception and took an inexplicable loss on the play that sat up his heroics. Both true freshman mistakes! Had Jake not been late getting over to cover that receiver (it had to be Jake since that loss is completely on his shoulders) Jake would be the TF NC phenom and Tua would be the TF that made TF mistakes that prevented his team from winning the NC! Funny how fate sometimes works!

I'll never forget after the loss in NCG that Jacob Eason was waiting on Fromm before going in the tunnel.

I hope Eason hits it big in the NFL!

What if in football are the same as they are in all of life ….. useless to think about
