I want BH to be successful. I think he is a good kid with a great arm. But he isn't good now. Look at his stats from his Sophomore season. Compare to Brandon Allen in his junior season. Very similar with BH having less games. Brandon Allen improved to an above average SEC quarterback this year. Can BH improve similarly?

I have no expectations of him becoming a quality QB here.

It will take a senior season just to have decent numbers here

Not a chance with Les running the show, If Jimbo was I think Harris would excel and be much more confident

TBH this offense sets QB's up to fail. We don't utilize short easy throws to allow our QB's to gain confidence. Everything is deep and low percentage throws that take a while to develop. Notice a trend with LSU QB's they all seem to go backwards. Aside for Mett who had OBJ and Landry along with Hill. Its been constant for a while. Unless there is a major change offensively, its never going to look better

I was hopefully this was a possibility until they kept Miles.

No, I expect us to suck.

This is about the stupidest GD crap here today.

Did you not see the short and intermediate passes thrown over the last 4 (FOUR) games?

Harris has a cannon arm but no touch. He rifles the ball in on screens, short passes, and the mid-range stuff. Many of those drops by WR are partially a result of no touch.

Harris needs to "calm the F(#k down."

This offense (Air Raid hybrid) absolutely depends on a short and (especially) an intermediate passing game. Without that, we are just a power I team with a high risk, throw deep passing game.

He mis-fired on short easy throws all last night. He's not an accurate QB at all............

Yeah I watched the spring games and I saw triangle read, stick, and mesh and was happy they were running some things to protect the qb. Then in season the qb rifles it in there too hot or misses. It's frustrating. Those are easy reads and throws. It took cam an off-season to get Harris' feet right on given throws for timing. Maybe accuracy and touch will be the points of emphasis this go around.

Would it kill them to throw a hitch from the I though? 9 yard cushions all season with no flat threat. Just tag it to the run game as an rpo. Easiest throw in football and touch is not needed.
