BH Knew it was Coming..

The kid had a ton of pressure on him, had to know it was coming. I'm sure many of us can empathize with Harris and his situation. When I was younger, I lost a job where I just couldn't get it done. The weeks leading up to my termination were terrible, the pressure was enormous. Now take that and imagine working in front of 100,000 and millions around the country.
I'm not going to get down on the kid for running off the field or being upset. He's been a victim of terrible coaching and an inept offense that he failed to make go.
I appreciate the young mans handwork and sacrifice.

It's as much the staffs fault as it is his.
Prolly more.

You're right and that worries about the QB recruits that are watching all of this take place and other teams that are recruiting them are reminding them everyday.

Geees, fricking spare me.
I bet you're the type that blames the teacher if your kid gets in trouble at school.
Brandon Harris had every opp to prosper. He couldn't.
Next guy up.

I like the idea of two quarterbacks. If one isn't moving the team, let the other one take over.

Your post was excellent except for this. Cam was an NFL coach and coordinator. Miles was an NFL coach. You can disagree with them, but you lose all credibility if you say they're terrible.

BH has had every opportunity possible to be LSU's QB. he failed. it's no ones fault but his own.
this "victim" crap is major misrepresentation. the young man did his best and that's all he can do.
I also appreciate his hard work and very much KNOW that it will pay off in life as he goes forward. hard work is an essential to a successful life, imo.
he's LSU and that's enough for me. also, have you ever considered that he is actually relieved right now. maybe what he needs is to take a step back and reevaluate, or just relax. BRANDON HARRIS needs to determine what went wrong and if he takes your weak attitude he'll never succeed.
he and he alone is responsible. my hope is that he matures and comes back more relaxed and takes his job back; he is certainly talented enough.

I'm with ya on feeling bad for the kid, but what did he "sacrifice" ???
Posted on 9/11/16 at 7:14 pm to geauxbrown
I blame Coach Miles for insisting on making him a pocket passer when in actuality Brandon would probably make an excellent quarterback in a spread offense. Even when the few times LSU runs the read option, the read is already pre-determined.

Harris can hit all the throws in practice but under the lights, it's just not translating right now.
I was the same way. Only competitive sport I played in school was golf. I could shoot -3, -4 under on the reg casually. When the pressure was on in big tourneys I would struggle to break 75,
I really hope hope BH can turn it around if he is called on to get back in there.
I remember Saban talking about Rohan Davey once and how bad he was in practice but when it was game time he could drop it in a garbage can at 50 yards.

This post is entirely too level headed for TigerDroppings.

You do realize Etling scored on his first 3 possessions coming off the bench as a backup with the same coaching...
So much stupid in these threads.

I agree. The young man did his best with the situation. Its not his fault.
Posted on 9/11/16 at 7:43 pm to geauxbrown
I understand what you are getting at but I don't think coaching is causing him not to be able to complete 10 yard passes. And coaching is not causing him to overthrow so many receivers.
He wasn't producing at the tasks he had control over.
That is why people are down on him.

I think most fans blame this coaching staff. They could have the guy more prepared than that I mean geez. I know some people just aren't made for pressure situations but he could perform better than he has been.
The Kid worked his tail off I know that so I don't place much blame on him. We actually still don't know what we have in etling until SEC play and the pressure is put on him. Harris could very well come back and play with fire and passion we not he even knew he had.

Never know with these things, the kid can play but it's awfully hard when your supposed best wr dupre is dropping every damn pass and the weight of the world is on you or you feel that way. GT

Terrible coaching and inept offense? Then how does a backup come in and produce? Harris just isn't the qb everyone thought he was going to be. We just need a qb to get the ball to the playmakers a la MM and MF.

As a highly touted qb out of high school I would run from LSU. But last night Brennan tweeted "thats why I'm an LSU commit!"
With Miles record with qbs how do we keep getting these qbs out of high school?

The fact that after three years in the program he still cannot throw accurately or read a defense and go through his progressions is a reflection not on him but his coaches. He has nothing to hang his head for. It's all on Les. Harris is just another in a long line....

People who talk about "participation trophies" now want to give one to Brandon Harris. Pressure? You"re a "god" on campus and beyond if you just complete passes that any quarterback should be able to complete.
If you can't handle that, step forward and get that participation trophy. He ain't an unprivileged child.
I wasn't as physically gifted as Harris, but I could make those throws. It just happened that the guy in front of me, Jeff Bower, made them better and was a better athlete. Harris isn't being asked to do anything difficult. That's the frustration for the coaching staff. Every stage is too big for him. It isn't practice.
