Couple of things. I wanted to see Eason. I think we all wanted too, but I was concerned. Lot of pressure on that young man. If Kirby thought for one minute the situation might be a little to big for Eason, he made the not popular call, but one I can live with. I do expect him to play.
I am tired of reading about how Lambert won 10 games last year. Yeah, and let me guess, Peyton was the reason the broncos won the Super Bowl last year. Or the fact he only threw 2 picks. Also, a ignorant stat to throw out IMO if you actually watched all the UGA games last year. He could have easily thrown 4 in the mizzou game alone.
With all that being said, I do expect him to play well. Reason is this, Jim Chaney. When Chaney took over at ut, there was a qb named Crompton. Very similar to Lambert. Had some tools, but never could put it together. Have some friends that are ut fans, and they had already thrown in the towel on the kid. Long story short, he ended up having a helluva game against the Dawgs, had a nice year, and I believe he ended up getting a shot in the NFL. I am hoping Chaney has the same type of impact. He is extremely good at putting his players in a position to succeed.
GO DAWGS
