re: The thing that puzzles me about the QB situation: play calling

1.) When Harris is in the game he seems to have "command" of the offense. The communication between the sidelines and Harris seems a bit crisper. I don't know why that is.
2.) Harris definitely has more natural ability to "make something out of nothing".
3.) Harris has upper level spacial awareness. He has a better sense of foot placement in the pocket and has a better sense of when to either step up into or out of the pocket. Harris's spacial awareness makes our OL look good.
4.) Because of 1-3, Cam and ultimately Miles, will feel more comfortable opening the playbook. This will put defenses further on their heels.
I agree with all of that, plus two more (though the first may fall under what you call "spacial awareness"):
1) Harris seems more capable of checking down. Further, he keeps his eyes downfield. On that TD to Dupre, he felt pressure, escaped to his left, THOUGHT about running, but kept his eyes downfield and found Dupre. Not to mention the excellent pass while moving left.
2)Harris also didn't seem bothered by pressure. On the out he threw from the left hash to the right sideline (I forgot who caught it), he had a defender bearing down on him - right in his face. But he didn't throw off his back foot. He still stepped into the throw, and into the defender. Beautiful throw.
All these points further confuse the narrative of "Harris isn't ready!" The things you listed, plus the two I just listed, make Harris look like the more "ready" of the two.
