Depends on whether his name is Lee or Jefferson.

not a performance issue with Les. If he likes you, you get unlimited leash length (JJ, AJ). If you're in his imaginary dog house you typically get a quick hook (Lee, Harris)

If you think that simply just replacing Jennings with Harris to run the same offense is the key to unlocking some explosive (or even just average) offensive attack then you're a fool.


There is not a single fan of LSU that wants any QB ever to run the same type of offense that we have seen. Harris is a more athletic QB capable of making more throws, and in turn enables a coordinator to create a more complex offensive scheme. Problem is, our head coach wants to run 4 plays and thinks the key to winning is just executing them perfectly. He honestly believes we don't score point because we aren't executing, not that his offense could be run by a pee wee team.

No. It also doesn't take into account that he was put under center and only allowed to throw the ball 3 out of the first 21 plays.

If he cannot take a ball form center and hand it to someone, he is borderline retarded.

that isn't a scheme issue. I get maybe an argument that it takes time to learn how to read a defense while making a drop, but taking a ball form under center and handing it off is something literally almost anyone can do. You just need to know the play

No, but not running an offense that caters to your players strengths certainly is. Harris lit it up playing from the gun and when he was able to see the field and D. So what does our staff do, put him under center. Jennings has turned incorrectly as well this season. Would put money on Harris not making those mistakes with a similar amount of snaps this year.

Do you think Harris has learned nothing in the last 2 months riding the bench?

that depends on what your name is: J Lee or B Harris? one bad half or series for that matter
J Jefferson or A Jennings? they have to either get hurt or kicked off the team.

He hasn't learned how to start apparently.
