Get a grip.
The kid is a true sophomore who was second in the sec in total QBR going into the Alabama game. Sure he had a rough night last night but the last 3 games have been a mixture of playcalling and an extremely underperforming o-line. He was running for his life. And then when we did pass it was on 3rd and long with low percentage throws. He has the tools. He does have a confidence issue and I think the bama game started it.

But look at the big picture here. Look at the progression from year one to year two. You would be lying if you said it wasnt possible to progress this offseason into a top qb in the sec next year. o line returning. Receivers returning and the running game.

All we need is an OC to put him in the right position

It was his first year and he is better than Jennings. He completed a key 5 yard pass to LF7! There is hope!

The 1 good qb we've had over the past ten years came up from the Georgia system and juco.

Ok, that's not happening at lsu. not really harris fault but more so that we have a OC that brings along the qb very slowly.

Play calling was not the problem last night. Accuracy and touch were

Harris is not the problem, Jennings wasn't the problem, name anyone under the Les era...We don't develop QBs at LSU .... PERIOD.
We somehow passed on Dak.

Other schools do it better.

Harris is part of the problem; he is bad.

...including half of the JUCO world. We should just admit that this coaching staff is incapable of developing a QB and go JUCO every year. They can probably remember enough coaching to get them through two years.

I don't blame Harris, I blame the coaches. Give this young man the coaching he needs and he would be successful.

Yes, the woeful passing game last night was squarelyon the shoulders of Brandon Harris. Our receivers never drop throws on the money and always time their jumps going up for a ball perfectly. All on Brandon.

Need on offensive identity best suited for Harris skill sit. Harris is best in a spread, zone read offense. Pro style QBs are getting harder to come by. Go spread next year and watch Harris flourish

Look let's be real. Harris was terrible passing last night. 6 for 20 at 1 point. As my wife was saying he hasn't greatly improved for start to finish. He was missing most of his passes by 5 yards and over throwing most sideline patterns. He better get a lot better over the off season. He picks receivers and doesn't go to others. Makes defensive strategy easy.

To say he is inaccurate is an understatement. Don't think I have ever seen a QB this unaccurate.

To those saying it's out system. We opened up the playbook and went to a lot of spread type stuff this season for good stretches of a lot of games. but you have to have a QB who can at least complete a simple pass. Offense doesn't need an overhaul (as long as we keep trying to open it up, if we go back to the offense we ran last season then we have a problem) but the QB most definitely does.

He was worse the last three games than he was his first three


I don't think it's too much for fans to want to see improvement from our players.
Esp at qb.

Cam is supposed to be a QB guru. What is up with that?

Is Cam the best qualified OC we an get if we want a more diverse and modern offense? (maybe, maybe not, I'm going with the latter)

Why does the offense so often look so out of sync? Looks like poorly coached and out of sync at times. Is that on the OC or the HC. I would say the OC has a lot to do with that as he is by definition in charge of the offense

Harris may be the worst QB in the country. Oklahoma found Mayfield and Baylor has 3 guys that can play. It can't be that difficult to get a capable QB. Harris can't play at this level.
