How did Etling not get more attention in practice?

He's light years ahead of Harris in his development. Not anointing him anything but at worst, he's an average QB. His foot movement, progression, pocket presence and overall technique are better than Harris'.
So why did he not get more press? We hardly heard anything about him out of camp. It doesn't add up.

The same reason why Welter started over Debo and Kwon.

We have an incompetent head coach and QB coach/OC

Because Les closes practice before any media can call him out on his bad personnel decisions

Do you really have to ask why?

You have to be either completely incompetent or completely unfair to not see the difference. I guess you could be both.
This lack of judgement pisses me off. This is about LSU and winning games. Not personal egos which more and more is what it appears to be about.

I thnk Miles and Cam absolutely refused to admit failure or wrong. Sometimes you got to fold them

Last year he probably didn't get first team reps since he had to sit out. Harris was the established starter coming into this year and it was his job to lose.
Either Harris does really well in practice, or he was on a really short rope in the first two games. Perhaps the staff knew what they had in Etling, but they weren't prepared to directly take the job away from Harris.

Not trolling at all bro.
Who cares, move the F on.
DE is the man now, also he was hurt for the opener.

I'M TIRED OF THS shite!
Occam's razor says the simplest answer is the most likely.
So, here are the possible answers. Harris looked better in practice. Etling didn't look good in practice; at least not good enough to beat out Harris. The coaches thought Harris was "just this close" to putting it together and thought he deserved the chance to try. (Les IS often loyal to a fault and there is something to be said about making a backup TAKE A JOB AWAY from a starter.)
There's no freaking conspiracy to deliberately lose or deliberately piss you off. The staff gave Harris every chance to keep the job he earned last year, then made a change when it became evidently necessary.
It's really that simple, but the self-anointed geniuses and Miles haters on this board won't accept that coaching and human behavior aren't exact sciences.
If anyone on here thinks he can coach half as well as the guys that are there, then do us all a favor and please submit your application to Alleva.
Otherwise, do us all a favor and stfu.

It's hard to move on from something this obvious. Time and again, we see poor decision making that costs us games and we just move on.
Maybe this coaching staff needs to move on. LSU deserves better.

Same reason Dak Prescott was passed over as an LSU QB. When booing fans (which is frowned upon) provide the push to take Harris out of the game, we have a problem. Yes Etling is our guy today, but the season is young. These bafoons will find a way to screw it up.

Harris looked better in practice, but loses composure in games.

If lsu continues to run the offense from the miss state game they will be unstoppable.

I think you need to calm down. And calling me names isn't going to help you make your flawed arguments based on illogical premises. This is a message board where I have a right to discuss relevant topics. So chill.
