re: Etling and Canada

They both have weaknesses that are going to be very difficult to overcome in order to beat Bama. Brandon is inaccurate on short route passes and under pressure and Etling is not a very "athletic" guy.
Here is a good analogy
A man with a big ole johnson, that doesnt know how to use it, but still gets the woman off 67% of the time
A man with an average johnson, with all the right moves, but still gets the woman off 67% of the time
The results are the same, but our fanbase has fallen in love with average size johnson because it is easier to watch.

Etling and Canada by ATL-TIGER-732

But there is that possibility, that Canada chooses someone other than your fav QB.
Harris spent over a year showing that he can not transport his almighty talents into actual game situations.
Etling can.
Who are you to say that Harris is so gifted and great, and that Etling is so incompetent
Didn't say that etling was incompetent. There are others with more talent. Canada's might decide to go in a different directiob

Harris has no pocket presence. He'll have to reinvent himself totally to become a decent QB. Raw skills don't always mean better QB
You'd be suprised at what a good coach could teach about footwork and the mental progressions. It's not something you're born with. It starts with a sound system and good coaching.

He also needs help throwing a good ball.

Give a player a SYSTEM he's comfortable with, you'd be surprised at the things he can straighten out on his own. Confidence is the key

Harris
54% ----- 2,756 yards ---- 7.9 yds/attempt ---- 20tds ---- 10ints ---- 2/1 td/int ratio ---- 134 rating
Etling
60% ---- 1906 yards ----- 7.9 yds/attempt ---- 9 tds----- 4 int ----- 2.25td/1 int ratio ----- 135 rating
So you think 54% and 60% are similar? LOL
By the way, you should check out their November stats:
Harris:
47.6% completion rate and 3/5 td/int
Etling:
59.1% completion rate and 2/1 td/int

I agree to a certain extent but Brandon has never had any touch on passes 20 yards and under. And that goes back to his high school days too. Give him a good system and he may perform better but bottom line is, under any type of pressure, he can't throw a short pass very well.

In order for LSU to win the west and make it to the SEC Championship, they have to beat Bama. Danny Etling is not going into Tuscaloosa and beating Bama. It's pretty simple.
You guys are hilarious sometimes.
We finally have a QB who does nearly everything that we've desired but rantards want the backup who simply stunk up the field to start again.
DE threw with much better timing than BH ever did and his balls were much more catchable.
DE actually went thru progressions even when scrambling while BH had no pocket presence, forced balls late and rarely decided to scramble at the right times.
DE is tough as nails and fearless in the pocket.
And yet he gets ragged for not scoring against the best defense in the nation in a game where the play calls were conservative as hell. Anyone who has scored against Bama this year also coughed the ball up too many times which is why they went with the conservative approach that night.
DE is a much better QB than BH.

One reason why QB recruiting can be so difficult is because some guys are great in practice when there is no real pressure. But under game conditions, this all becomes scrambled and stressed. Just look back at the Whisky and Auburn games for the evidence...true Tiger fans only want the guy that can bring in the W's!

.... because of this you lose about 1/2 - if not more - of your playbook and defenses scheme this shite out of you.

It's funny reading the varying opinions about arm strength, speed, poise, toughness, etc.
I'll take the guy who commands the huddle, plays like a leader, makes the short/intermediate throws accurately, doesn't look lost/confused, and doesn't blame his teammates.
If one guy brings those attributes and one doesn't, then it's a no brainer. You can't sacrifice those things at that position.
40 times, how far a guy can throw a ball flat footed...all that is irrelevant if the quarterback can't do the other things I mentioned.
This is fact regardless of skin color or team

Will Canada be working with the team on bowl prep ? Or will he just observe for the bowl game and evaluate.
Posted on 12/21/16 at 8:58 pm to BAMAneck
He's not gonna be doing anything more than evaluating until after our bowl I'd imagine. He's coaching pitt in theirs and then will come on

You can't teach accuracy. And Harris has none of that.

I just don't buy the ski is falling theory. I watched BH in high school. Vs Byrd vs zachary vs Covington vs Acadiana. I saw NO passes that he struggled with. People create story lines (especially here), and it becomes rhetoric. This kid will never be asked to turn water to wine. He played HS BALL with confidence in. HE needs to start playing with confidence again.
With good coaching, this kid can perhaps complete the incredibly dare devil feat known as: "the 5 yard pass"".

Can't believe you thought you were so clever using your euphemisms for 'black' that you didn't think of saying he wasn't 'Canadian' enough. Double pun!
So happy I am not the only one that calls this guy out for his obvious anti-black mentality. He uses his little obvious code words but his position is quite obvious. Especially since he regurgitates it in the majority of his posts.
He should be a man and come out the closet. Admit his racism. I believe he is the infamous BRAVEHEART, who was banned because of his overt racism. He came back as Semjackass, with his veiled but obvious covert racism. It is too coincidental that both he and BRAVEHEART argue that LSU should recruit only "Up North" offensive lineman because the ones we have, excluding Pocic and Clapp, are not intelligent enough.
He should change his allegiance to a team that better reflects his preferences. However, BYU has a few players he would believe are not quick thinkers or intelligent enough.
Maybe he should go the hockey route. That should be nirvana for him. This guy probably has kids that he is mind fu@king with his racist BS. I guess David Duke had parents too. Somebody has to ingrain hatred in babies for it to continue.

What did he do against defenses with a pulse??? Nada! Open the damn competition back up.

In a practice setting he probably looks like a first round draft pick.
I saw Harris play in the superdome for the high school championship. He had a cannon,but had no accuracy. When the defense covered the long pass, he'd run the ball all over them. So, basically nothing has changed except the defenses got better and he can't just run every play where the receivers are not wide open.

Wrong... See Brandon Harris after he got benched last year.
He wasn't the fan favorite . So your post isn't exactly true.
