quote:
BH never could make the throws when he was on the run, so that took the spread passing game out of the playbook. As a drop back passer, his short game was generally good and the long "put air under it" was good. But the deep out across the field was always overthrown. He had a flaw in his mechanics in that he dropped his right shoulder. Airmailed receivers all the time on those patterns.

No one who has played for LSU could make this throw except Harris. He sparked a 28 pt 2nd Qtr vs FLA in 2015 and had a 68% completion against SEC teams after 7 games.
Mettenberger was a sitting duck, immobile, sacked 50 times in 2 yrs. "We just could not protect him and keep him upright"
The Flea Flicker vs FLA: again only Harris makes this throw.

For proper context Fedora is referring to having him unlearn the under center footwork and slow Tempo that did not utilize his talents at LSU and led to him taking his first 10 sks vs. ALA and ARK, hurried on over 50% of his dropbacks, and being injured by Cyrus Jones on a 2nd Qtr game-tying 40 yd pass to Dural and being put in 3rd and forever too often.
At LSU he regularly lined up under center and was required to master five- and seven-step drop backs. In UNC’s offense, though, there’s really no such thing as dropping back to pass, as quarterbacks almost exclusively operate out of the shotgun.
“Our footwork that we take here is totally different than what I did at LSU,” Harris said. “Out of the spread and under center is totally different.” This means he will get rid of the ball in 1/3 the time and have far fewer sacks.
Peyton Manning was hardly ever sacked for the same reason. Manning also had this quote: "There’s a saying that goes, treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he could be and he will become what he should be." Add in what Wade Phillips said "“I don’t understand the people that say, ‘Hey, this is our scheme and that guy can’t play in it,’ Phillips said Friday. “Well, to me, there’s something wrong with your scheme. You adapt the scheme to what the players can do, not what you can think of.."
It is the same system he ran in High School. He will be the center of the Offense, have control over calls, and has given Fedora and his teammates all have really high hopes.
