PSA: You can discuss Etling's promise without crapping on Harris

it's clear when Etling came in early we ran a completely different offense

then we ran the Miles offense and he didn't do shite, either

I tried to point this out and was accused of being negative.

Go figure

Great post. Most posters have only a basic working knowledge of football in the first place. I see statements being made with no knowledge of offensive schemes, play scripts, coverages, etc. People have been far to ready to jump to conclusions about either of the QBs performance vs a weaker opponent. Most have been unwilling to face the reality in the difference in play calling during the 2nd quarter. We've also ignored that once we went back to the old stuff in the 2nd half, it was same crappy passing game throughout the 2nd half. I agree that we should be rejoicing that we have finally been able to see that Etling can play. But regardless of the starter, we might actually have depth at the QB position finally.

We may lose more SEC games then we expect.

It's so frustrating

Who gives a shite if Harris's feelings are hurt. This is a multi million dollar sport. You don't make decisions based on someone's feelings, either perform of sit on the bench!

This is what I noticed more. Etling seems to actually read the defense and looks at more than one reliever.

It's isn't that LSU and Miles didn't want to throw to TE and RBs, previous Qbs just never reached those progressions

Atleast part of your username is right. Trash. These are 18-22 year old son and there are 40nyear Olds bashing them when they are doing the best they can.

Bash the coaches for not coaching them up or leaving them in when they are in over their heads. Not the players

Not shitting on harris, just stating the obvious as I see it. Harris cannot play qb in the sec. He is a horrible qb. He has not improved one bit since his freshman year. He is a fickle and fragile dude who cannot handle the pressure of being a bigtime qb at lsu. He's just not good enough to play here and it seems the coaching staff has FINALLY seen the light. Etling on the other hand has shown he is more composed in the pocket and makes better decisions than harris. It was evident from the first snaps he took that he had better command of the offense than harris. It looked night and day different. The whole team fed off of etling and the spark/energy he has brought to the offense. Harris will not see the field again at lsu unless etling is injured. He was given ample opportunity and never capitalized...it's etling team now, and I'm excited about the rest of this season.

Etling gave a spark and looked great in the second quarter, let's wait till next week before we make him a Heisman candidate.

Second half was more of the same bs offensive play we are used to.
