How does this board look if Harris doesn't overthrow 1 out of every 3 passes?

In

I remember Mett having trouble on the deep balls, but he always seemed pretty good at those screens. Remember how he would side arm that shovel pass play? I liked how he did that. Got the ball to Hill quick.

Coupled with a little bit better execution, both from QB and receivers, I'd love to see a scheme similar to Saturday's thought next season. We shall see.

Having been a QB myself, the biggest thing you can do to a QB is try and force him to be a QB that he is not. I think we are trying to make Harris a pocket passer, and that is not his strength. He isn't accurate enough to sit in the pocket and make every throw, because he cannot make every throw. What Harris needs is to be able to get out of the pocket and make plays by extending the play and allowing his WRs to stretch the field, a lot like he did against Miss State last year when he blew up that 4th quarter.

I am not fast, and I have been put into situations where I had to make plays with my feet and I just wasn't able to. I think that is what we are trying to do with Harris and it is not working like we want. If we want someone to sit in the pocket and make every throw we need to recruit a guy that can do that.

I want to see the OC let Harris go out there and make plays. He doesn't look comfortable out there. I think our offense can really catch fire if we take the handcuffs off.

If we connect on more passes, we probably pass more, and the board is a while lot more positive.

Agreed. I'm all in with putting the blame on Harris. He did the team a disservice.

But let's remember what Cam did with Mett from '12-'13.

This is where I disagree. It seem like the Tiger faithful are holding out hope that next year will somehow be similar. What about the other shitty years? Does Cam & Co. get a pass for those dismal years? Aside of LF7, the whole offense needs retooling; including our wide outs who seem to have grease on their hands sometimes.

while I agree BH hasn't played at the level I had hoped or thought he would there is a lot more to this than him being inaccurate...blocking, play calling, development. I still don't think our QB's are put in the best situation to excel...whether it be the play calling or how they are prepared or developed.

lets also remember he had been through 2-3 different schools and was much more mature than BH. Also that had our staff given any thought to the future met would have been being developed in 2011 when we were blowing everyone out...we knew he would be our QB in 2012 but still didn't use our opportunities to get him live game reps.

Make all the excuses you want, but the fact is that we had five games where we got beat by 14 or more the past 2 years. 6 if you want to count the MSU game last year where it took a miracle comeback to get it to within 6 points. In all three of those games this year we were only down by a touchdown or fewer in the 3rd only to have the other team pull away. That shows a lack of adaptation and the stubbornness of hitting your head against the wall over and over. Harris might not be doing them any favors but 1) Harris was recruited by Miles and Cam and 2) Harris' development is a direct result of their coaching. This gets glossed over like there is no huge arse elephant in the room. At some point Miles will have to accept responsibility for underachieving with all of these top recruiting classes.

How does the board look? Pretty freakin happy as we will be steamrolling our competition including the November gauntlet.

It does seem odd to me that Harris' problems seem pretty rudimentary and as such should have been worked out sooner, but what the hell do I know?
