consider the talent level in the conference that he'll be playing in, wish him the best



talent level doesn't matter. If he suddenly lights it up and plays well consistently it just confirms that it was mostly coaching. Because what has been the biggest argument with him was poor decision making and not very smart.

I don't think he even started playing fb until 8th or 9th grade, so a couple of years as a hs qb and he's thrown into a trial by fire as a qb in the SEC, he'll likely be looking a defenses that are considerably smaller and slower than what he's experienced as an LSU qb, including just at practice he should do ok

Just as long as I don't have to look at him in purple and gold, could care less. Will always see him hitting a wide open Wisconsin defender for the game. One of the worst throws I've ever seen.

So all those QBs who lit it up in college and then busted out in the pros - that was because their pro coaches sucked???

Talent matters...

Alot!

Yep. He actually only played QB for two years before he went to LSU. He needed to start in a spread system and let them build him up. Trying to learn how to be an NFL QB (reading defenses and coverages, proper footwork, going through progressions, etc) after only learning the position like 2-3 years had to be extremely rough.

Had he gone to Miss St, he would have benefited greatly. Sitting behind Dak and learning from QB guru Mullen he could have been dominating the SEC for two straight years. If Miss St QB Nick Fitzgerald, who threw only 86 passes in 23 career high school games, could throw for 2400 yards and 21 TDs in the SEC West as a first year starter, Harris would have easily went over 3k.
