The 1st qtr @ Ole Miss is on Harris. The ball was put in his hands & he failed. He still struggles with the touch pass. Is this lack of qb development from Cam? I don't know, but he has the talent to be a great qb. However, does he have the confidence? We'll see.

Ummmm... that's the biggest reason Harris hasn't gotten better.

I honestly think he would do a lot better in offense with a little creativity.

3 of his completions were incredible/miraculous catches by LF.

yeah he's really not anywhere near where he was expected to be by this time.

It's true but how much time at practice was spent on passing in game time situations? I obviously don't know the answer but by looking at the timing on the field it all looks off.

Unfortunately based on what I've seen from Harris, I don't expect him to get a lot better. He's been the obvious weak link in the offense this season.

Because he can throw it hard and far, and can run a little? That's certainly characteristics of talent.....but also there are things like accuracy, QB awareness, ability to read defenses, etc....these are some of the major weaknesses of many dual threat quarterbacks...for whatever reason....so unless he can overcome these deficiencies, it won't matter how far he can throw it and how fast he can run....he will never be great.

Well the whole point is perhaps a new coaching regime will coach them up better, put them in better position to have success..

Put it this way, if Alabama can have that success with Blake Sims.. anything is possible. Yes, he had Cooper.. we have Dupre.

I still am amazed by the success Blake Sims had..

Not much he can do. From what I've heard since he arrived at LSU is that he can't read coverages to save his life, and it definitely shows on the field. Hard to be an efficient and reliable QB in CFB if you can't do this.

I think clearly he progressed form his freshman year, but i just don't think Cam's offense is one you succeed in when you are young.

It requires a lot of downfield passing, he doesn't have a ton of underneath routes, and its hard for Young QBs to get their eyes back to the check down throws.

We will trot him out there and go for all 100 yards in the first 2 passes, and not even run a route for the 15 yard stuff.

Not disagreeing with you, but he's a true soph. He's playing better now than guys like Brandon Allen were as true Sophs. He will get better.

He will get better when Jimbo gets here. Cam tried but Les would not embrace modern era football.Because Miles has been so stubborn the players, administration, LSU, it's fans, donors, and the State of Louisiana have become victims. A business decision will be made and football at LSU will reach the potential that it is deserving of.

Jennings and Harris both need to move on. Sorry. LSU needs a good smart game manager which Miles has failed to recruit for 11 years at LSU.

harris is a symptom not the problem... if you disagree then you need to get over your make believe friend being fired.

Harris has all the talent in the world to be an elite QB. His problem is he is a head case compounded by the fact that he knows his coaches have no faith in him due to their own inability to develop that position.
