QB improvement...

Why do so many LSU fans think Brandon Harris won't improve? He's a true freshman with ridiculous ability and a good head on his shoulders. When is the last time a true freshman...not a redshirt freshman... was a stud in the SEC? It's like so many fans have already given up on him... Unbelievable how ignorant some fans are.

I haven't seen someone say that at all

very good points...but I don't think tiger fans have necessarily given up on him. I do think that we are fairly cynical in general because we really haven't had a ton of world class quarterbacks in our history and that shows in the fans' impatience with that sort of thing...

I don't think a single person on this board ever said that Harris wouldn't improve. The prevailing concern is that he may never get a fair shake at winning the starting job.

I am not sure any fan feels he will not improve the concern is will CLM let him play?

Problem is he never got a chance. Kid even sat on the bench until the 2nd half of the 4th quarter against KY when we had a 30+ point lead in the early 3rd quarter.
THen Miles blows BS in public about him getting playing time against AL, then Jennings could not have been worse against ARK (but Miles said before that game that Harris would play) then Miles said the same crap in public before the AtM game. Really - either say nothing or stop leading the kid on in public.

QB improvement...

Just rewatched the New Mexico St. game and couldn't believe out great BH looked and how AWFUL Jennigs was in that game. Sure it was NMS but then why did AJ only get 84 yards in 7 drives go 2/5 and only have one rushing TD. EVERY single drive BH had resulted in a TD except the take a knee one.
AJ fumbled, threw 2 int.'s and looked atrocious with his misses...not even close. BH brought an energy we've lacked all year and the team seemed to respond.
Imagine if we'd given him more game time snaps???? He will be fine. He's a winner, and we all know it. I'll remain patient, but........
I remember Jarrett Lee being yanked after the 2 Bama pics, and never seeing the field again. How AJ started all year is beyond me.

AJ should have been benched for the year after playing that way against NMexSt. That was pathetic and total incompetence. Any other player on the team pulls that and Miles banishes them to the bench for the season.
At least Lee was playing AL and had bailed out Miles all year after JJ almost ended up behind bars. IMHO - J Lee got freaked.
Harris situation this year looks the exact same. No matter how pathetic Jennings played, he still starts.
To make it worse, this time Miles is blowing BS in public before the last 3 games about how Harris is going to play.

I think it's because Harris did not get enough playing time to substantially improve this year. Alan Risher says that real game experience, not practice, is the best way for a player to improve. So, Harris will still be green again next year when he should have gone into next season with quite a bit of experience. There was a lot of wasted time for Harris this year.

Well I've seen many people make comments about recruiting JC QBs and saying we don't have a QB...

It's obvious Jennings won't improve. Yes he runs the option nicely but he is bad at throwing the ball. Harris has more upside.
Posted on 12/5/14 at 7:20 pm to tigerbait1.6
Harris can run too - way more upside. Makes no sense but Miles pretty much blew getting getting him ready for next season.
Posted on 12/5/14 at 7:24 pm to tigerbait1.6
Let's hope Harris has an "injury" and gets a medical redshirt because Lester has truly wasted his freshman yr if not. That is the reason everyone is skeptical about the QB position. Has nothing to do with Harris not improving, it is the fact that Les meddles in the QBS and recruits gunslingers to only have them learn to hand off and pass 3 times a half. #timeforLestoGeaux

That is also the dumbest meme running on this board as well. Right above Harris transferring because he didn't start as a true freshman.

This is absolutely ridiculous BH is a freshman he will have plenty of time to prove that he can handle it.
