The only difference in Miles last night is that he has a QB he can trust with the whole playbook. For example, would Miles have allowed Harris to drop back to pass in his own Endzone? Not a chance.

That QB has been on the roster since last season? If we're seeing that huge of a difference between the two then why isn't Miles? Hell he should see a lot more than that for damn near 5 mil a year. Plain and simple, the product on the field does not reflect what he is paid.

Then why was Harris starting to begin with? If he can't execute the playbook then you should start the one who can. Ettling is obviously light years ahead of Harris and it shocks me that they couldn't see that. Actually, no it doesn't because Les Miles is still our coach. You have to remember that Ettling was coached elsewhere before he came to LSU, so it actually makes sense that he has been developed more so than quarterbacks at LSU their whole college career.

I don't think any coach would sit their returning starting QB for the first game. However, I would have liked to see Harris replaced in the Wisky game.

You geniuses should know that at winning was not eligible last year. In fact, he started two series into
his second game of eligibility.
If you were going to criticize miles at least get your facts straight.

And every one of us would have liked to see JJ benched in the NC game.

Talent assessment and retaining of his buddies are the only two reasons he should be evaluated for termination.

He puts the best talent ton the field, we could be ranked number 2-3 right now. And if he doesn't keep his archaic offense philosophy and goes with a guy who can actually develop a QB then we don't have this conversation every damn year.

We don't need to fire him bc we only won by 3.

Did you watch the Jax St game. Harris dropped back in the endzone, then proceeded to overthrow the TE (or under throw the WR) right into 2 Jax St DBs who ran into each other and dropped an easy INT

The most aggravating frustrating part about all of this.

It is hard to fault miles for starting the more experienced quarterback against a formidable big 10 team on the road. Etling had not taken a snap in several years and Miles went with the better bet.
Two series into the next game, Harris was yanked.

Then Miles as Head Coach should recruit more QB's like Etling, but he doesn't! Etling should have started the Wisconsin game, but Miles puts loyalty over what's best for the team.

We need to recruit game manager QB's, period. I don't care how strong their arm is! If they can't make a completion under pressure, then they have no business being a QB in the SEC!

I will fight you over this. DE played spring ball and all of practice. BH did not come out ready to win that game. i don't care what people say. Scott could've done better. The only reason we lost against wisconsin was because the best players for that game did not take the field. He left BH in for 60 minutes of football failure... Thats on CLM.

scarg thing is we could have kicked a FF and beaten Wisconsin by a point and we would be ranked 2 or 3 but ljust like last year it would all be fools gold and we would be exposed in November
