Well, um of course he "progressed" thus far. I mean, we treated him like a parapalegic for the first 4 games. I literally never thought I'd live to see the day again when an LSU coach was scared shitless to let his QB throw against Syracuse and Eastern Michigan.
If someone forced me to bet my paycheck today, I'd bet on Franks being gone.

Haskins?

Isn't Maryland going through a coaching change themselves..
Haskins would be an ideal to look at. He'd probably love to come to a major program if he knows he will be the guy soon enough..
isn't Toliver heavily connected to him as well?

Do you people realize you say the same shite every year about the next savior quarterback. When said Quarterback finally makes it onto the field he is shite on and talk of the next big thing starts.
LSU needs to get it's coaching staff in order. You can have all the talent in the world on this team but the current coaching staff just cannot put it together on the field.

Harris is progressing fine during his first year.
His QB Rating is trending up.
His YPA is trending up.
His YPG is also trending up.
He's only had one SEC game with a Comp% below 60%.

Any qb that throws as little as we do would trend up.

Question? I thought he was a baseball player and was also coming to play baseball. I maybe wring though. If that is the case that is a reason for him to stick to his commitment .

I get what you are saying and agree to a point. But part of the problem at QB for LSU is we constantly wind up with inexperienced QBs that got put into early and never developed. Too many classes with no QB's or QB's that flamed out. It is really inexcusable. The recent recruiting is at least trending in the right direction. 13 Jennings 14 Harris 15 McMillian (project) 16 Franks etc.
Franks is key because we would FINALLY be in position to have a guy that didn't have to play to early. You have Harris for 2 years then can start Franks as a RS Soph or Jr and have him for 2 years etc...

I completely agree that it is inexcusable. I was speaking more towards the narrative that gets pushed here every single year. Fans clamor for that next highly rated QB recruit and shite on the current QB until said recruit becomes the QB and is shite on. The cycle goes on and on.
Franks is an important prospect but rarely do you get QBs out of high school that can immediately compete at a high level. I agree they need time to develop. Development is the issue. Mettenberger sat his first year, struggled his RS junior year and blossomed his senior year.
Mettenberger did not have to play early and it still took over two years to get him in a position to be successful.
Your point speaks more to allowing a quarterback time develop without being thrust into the limelight then it does the talent and ability of Franks. The issue I have is that these same fans that are bashing Harris and saying they can't wait until Franks arrives were the ones bashing Jennings and saying they can't wait until Harris starts.

Yeah, that's what i agree with you about. Franks is crucial, but as a "savior".

exactly. I don't think Franks is crucial because I'm banking on him stepping in and leading us to the promise land, but rather so we have adequate depth moving forward and don't have rely on an underclassman to come in right away. If Franks sings somewhere else, come 2018 we're right back to the same position we were in in 2008 and 2014.

The thing is, it's coming . . . if we can keep Franks.
Saban did not sign a QB for the February 2004 signing day, and when he left, he did not have a QB committed for the February 2005 signing day. Miles scrambled to sign Ryan Perrilloux. When Perrilloux flamed out, LSU had a succession of QBs rushed into play. Other than Mett, every QB recruited by Miles has started at the beginning of, or before, their second year:
Lee [RSFr]
Jefferson [Fr]
Jennings [So]
Harris [Fr]
If I was the Emperor of LSU, no QB would start until their third year. The development/experience/"years in the system" almost always makes a HUGE difference.
