Eason is already showing better accuracy and touch than Stafford..

Matthew has the stronger arm, but he struggled with touch his whole career at UGA. On 2 sideline throws Saturday Jacob displayed superb touch and accuracy. The deep fly route to Davis was as good as it gets at ANY level.
I'm not knocking Matthew, he throws maybe the best flat trajectory passes I've seen from any QB. When it comes to putting air under the ball with touch, timing and accuracy though, Eason looks like maybe the best we've had.

True, but I'll wait to see what happens in a real game. I'm hopeful but it's too early to get overly excited. Stafford's touch and accuracy has also improved dramatically in the NFL. He makes almost every deep throw now. It's just too bad he plays with Detroit, behind a bad OL, and no running game to support him. Not to mention he's had two head coaches and three offensive coordinators in the last 4 years.

Again, no knock on Matthew is intended. It's just that when you see the arm talent combined with touch and accuracy we saw Saturday, it's very, very promising. Also on the fly route to Davis it took 2 seconds from snap to the ball being out of Jacob's hand. Combine all of this with his seeming lack of nerves and work ethic, I'm thrilled with what I see so far.

Hardly remember Stafford as a true freshman qb but Jacob was throwing bullets over the middle. Too hard for receivers to handle.

A buddy of mine during the Stafford years was waiting for a urinal in the bathroom..he joked to another guy that if Stafford was using it..he would aim for the urinal and hit the wall. They both laughed and my buddy turned around to a glaring Stafford..he never apologized for saying it. Truth is he was more right than wrong.

Love Stafford but he had zero touch.l in year one. I think the biggest arm at uga since 2000 was DJ Shockly. Watched him throw a ball that was caught about 70 yards, remarkable pass.

My biggest concern is a qb carousel creates drops. Catching a ball is a reflex at that level and the least little change screws it up.

Matthew was deadly accurate on low trajectory throws where the receiver stopped or came back, like on sideline throws. He just didn't have what Ron Jaworski calls ''anticipatory accuracy'' where he had to throw where a moving receiver should be when the ball arrives. That is what impressed me on those fly routes Saturday. Jacob put those exactly where they needed to be, and they got there at precisely the right time. That is a sort of instinct, you can't do one Mississippi and mechanically get it so perfect. It's more like shooting baskets in a motion offense, look at the magic Stephen Curry conjures, it's an instinctive gift that gets better with practice.
