Additional questions for BH?
Posted on 3/30/17 at 9:31 am

Question I have after reading this to BH is as follows:
You say you wanted to throw the ball more and never really got the chance to at LSU with the offense that was run; how do you explain your inability to complete the passes that you were asked to make on any type of consistent basis?
Do you think had you been able to show the coaches more consistency that perhaps they would have "opened" up the offense more?
How do you explain this?
ETA: Sometimes when the lights go on that same player is not the same. Not a knock just sometimes the reality in sports.

When you wait until 3rd and 8 to throw, and you mostly send out two receivers in the route, it's kind of hard to execute when the defense is sitting on the sticks.

No, the offense would have never been opened up more.

He was kind of angling that it was coaching and scheme as his problems.
I don't think it was either. He trained out in CA at some point with a QB guru in the offseason. Cam Cameron coached All-Pro Qbs. I think it was just as I posted above: lights came on, practice player is practice player.

BS, the same offense and opportunity was given to Mett. He did great. Threw for a bunch of yards and TDs.

Mostly on 3rd and 8. Mett ranked 6th in the conference for passing attempts, 7th in the conference for pass completions. All the while he led the conference for passing yards per attempts and was second in passing efficiency. You might recall we had a couple of decent receivers to catch the ball as well. Regardless, Les didn't want to throw the ball on early downs.

His mechanics are not good. If he'd thrown as much as he wanted can you imagine how many more passes would'very been way too high or way short

Guess we'll find out a lot more about him at N. Carolina .

Metts year was great. And yet, we still didnt have an open offense. We still were ranked low in any volume passing stats

Every QB misses a few easy completions. I thought that this kid was asked to throw too many 1 and 2 WR plays vs 4 and 5 defenders. For instance, fake lead to fournette, with one receiver route 18-20 yds up field.
Etling was victim of the same play calling in the 2nd half of Jacksonville state. It did not go well.

I actually talked to a former LSU assitant yesterday about Brandon's inaccuracy and it being Les' fault. He explained how during practice and gameplanning meetings, Les would ask the coaches for advice and when they would offer up their offensive advice, Les would never be open to change. He said the other coaches in the room became extremely frustrated with Les over the years and eventually stopped saying anything, because Les already knew what he was going to do.
He explained how Les would only run the I formation with two wide which makes it extremely difficult for any QB no matter their skill to complete passes. He would have to hit the receivers so perfectly in every pass, which is tough for a kid to do, especially when the defense knew when you were throwing or not. He says Brandon will be much better in a different system.

Who cares? He's not a tiger any longer so we should just move on

True, however look at this video. LINK There are no down and distance problems there. Guy misses every throw. Isn't remotely close. He needs to acknowledge that he simply isn't an accurate passer. When you can't hit open passes that Leonard Fournette (and Guice) give you just because they are on the field, that's pretty damn bad.

" wanted to throw the ball more"
When you have the type RBs we have had lately and QBs not very good in the percentage game, throwing the ball more doesn't seem all that football wise.
How did that wide open O work out for us at home this past yr vs Bama and FLa?
I thank Harris for his efforts and wish him well, but he has no one to blame for his own actions in games that resulted in his benching but himself. imo

You realize that's when the offense to the biggest turn toward ultra conservative too. Mett also played with 2 of the best to ever play in uniform at LSU and in the pros. Landry and OBJ made Mett look much better than he was. Evidence, out of all the offensive stars from Mett's year, who's played significant roles and who's still starting?
Etling looked the exact same in a more "open" offense. People act like he is always on point. His passing was on par with BH all last year. If he slips this year, hopefully Canada has the nuts to play someone with more potential to get the ball moving.
BH will prove one group or the other wrong this year. Nobody ever claimed he was Joe Montana, but he could have had a better year with better plays designed to his strengths. We will find out.

I actually believe he'll have a better year than Etling.

So you talked to Damiyune Craig.
Next time you see him tell him it's hard for the quarterback to hit receivers when the receivers he was coaching couldn't get off the line in press coverage and ran terrible-to-mediocre routes.
