Eason enrolling early

I actually compared him to 3 1st round picks:

Cutler played at Vandy and got a boat load of credit for taking them I believe to a bowl game because they are Vandy. Had some decent years in the pro's but consensus wise he's massively underperformed.

Stafford was the #1 overall pick. He's had a solid college and pro career full of numbers but has never won anything. This would be my top call on the path that Eason takes.

Johnny Football won a Heisman but looks to flame out in the NFL.

I guess when I say bust, I'm not thinking Jake Heaps style bust. I'm thinking more in terms of being a guy that puts up big numbers, doesn't win as much as you'd think he should, and nobody can seemingly figure out why. He just comes across to a guy that thinks he's the shit and should be crowned ... maybe/hopefully I'm wrong because I like to see guys succeed, particularly the local guys.

It's not the first time I've put out a controversial opinion and it won't be the last.

If you're saying a high school senior won't be better than the first pick in the draft and a solid NFL QB that's not exactly a controversial opinion.
 
I could see him just being average.

But to say he may flame out while playing to the level of Johnny football is quite the take indeed. All bases covered.
 
Stafford is a monster. I know he hasn't "won" anything yet, but he does play for the fucking Lions and had the NFLs version of Seven as his coach most of his career. Winners win, but the NFL isn't like the NBA, the team/organization matters.

He's a top 10 QB IMO: Rogers, Brady, Luck, Brees, Wilson, Stafford, Manning, Big Ben, Matty Ice, Rivers.

That's a hell of a ceiling for Eason. It feels like you're saying if Georgia doesn't win a natty with Eason, he is a bust. He'll probably win the east a few times and might be the difference in Georgia breaking through.

A lot of hate on here for Richt and Georgia, but they have fielded some damn good teams and have been close but no cigar several times during the Florida/Bama/Auburn run. Shit happens, how long did it take Don James to break through again?

Matt Stafford throws to the best receiver on the planet and he has as many playoff wins as I do.

Fuck. That. Guy.
 
Pointing to Georgia winning the East as a sign of success for Eason is pointless ... the SEC is a fucking dreckfest.

I'm not a big numbers guy at QB ... I'm a does he win when the chips are on the table kind of guy.

Cutler you can't really talk about in college ... in the pro's ... he's terrible.

Stafford never really won a ton of big games in college ... I thought in some respects Murray was a better QB at Georgia ... and he won comparable to Stafford on the big stage.

Johnny Football put up huge numbers ... he also pissed a lot of games away. You can't tell me that TAMU got as much out of him being QB as they could have.

What percentage of top rated HS qbs come close to equaling the career success of Jay Cutler?

If I'm a 17 year old QB and someone tells me that I'd better buckle down or face the career trajectory of Cutler, I'd crack a beer, torch a bowl eat a bag of Doritos, and screw the first sophomore jersey chased I could find in celebration.
 
if he has the career of Johnny football in college and you think he is the problem or he flamed out that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Quit digging the hole you're in.
 
I just don't see him as a winner ...

Could be a big stats doesn't win player ...

Could just flat out flame out ...

Either way, it will be interesting.

Manziel was probably the most dominant college QB ever in terms of single handedly affecting a game. VY is a close secondL, but Manziel was a way better passer.

You literally have no way of knowing at this point in time, but either way it'll be interesting.
