QB rant....

I hate starting true freshman QBs.
  1. 2001. David Greene started as a R-Fr and we didn't win the SEC. I still remember a brutal loss in the Music City to finish 8-4.
  2. 2006. Matthew Stafford did start periodically as a true freshman and we had shall we say mixed results (Joe Cox saved his butt against Ole Miss and did not become THE starter until game 8 (MSU) and even then the season was at best a "growth" year. We finished strong with wins in our last 3 games, including a win over VT in the CFA Bowl, to finish 9-4.
  3. 2010. Aaron Murray didn't start until his R-Fr year and we started 1-4 and finished 6-7.
So, do we really want to start Eason from game one in 2016? I think we need to allow him growth to develop into the starter. We tried with MS7 in 2006 but JT3 injuries necessitated we play him earlier than his readiness indicated.

Here's hoping Ramsey or Lambert is ready to fill the gap in early 2016.
