Quick, easy passes

These clips are taken from 2 games on the first week of the football season. The first 2 are Kenny Hill's first 2 passes of the South Carolina game, where he was making his first ever start in a hostile environment. The last comes from Blake Sims' first play where he was also making his first ever start. Is our offense like A&M? No. Is Brandon Harris a senior? No. However, the concept is that these are perhaps the easiest throws in football and they get the QB calm and comfortable throwing the football. We have the athletes on the field to make people miss and break tackles. I don't care who is throwing the ball out there to those guys, but lets at least do it. If nothing else it creates more of a threat of a pass. 2v2 outside is a better matchup for the offense than 9v9 in the box.

I agree
but I think a big problem as well is that LSU has used these plays and the blocking never seems to transpire.
I think we've already seen 4-5 WR or RB screens where the blocking was piss awful.

You're welcome.

We did run some plays like this (not of the gate though) and Harris threw it 6 feet over the receiver's head

I honestly think his inaccuracy comes from his nerves. If you prepare him to throw alot and throw early, I think he has a different game. Just my opinion though.

We will run it up middle on first and second downs then call on Harris to throw long on third down. We will do this repeatedly the entire game. Fact.

I think so too. I beleive in Brandon Harris! Those two TD passes to Dupre late in the MSU game were PERFECTLY THROWN BALLS! He has shown that it is in him!

Best thrown ball of that MSU game was his seam route to Quinn. To high for the LB, but enough velocity to get it to Quinn before the safety came down.

I think everybody apart from out staff agrees with the premise of the OP. Why we didn't with Jennings earlier and Harris last weekend I have no idea.

He was't comfortable from the start and never got better. Even before he threw the ball, he had a fumbled snap and a busted play that turned 2nd and short into 3rd and long.
I don't know what took us so long to go to Jennings. It was obvious to me that Harris wasn't getting the job done.
I also don't know why they didn't have some coach on the sidelines talking to Harris more. It seems every time they showed him on TV he was just sitting there by himself.

Excellent post and that is exactly what I think a lot of us have been saying. Give the LSU QBs some easy passes to start off with, Quick Slants, Quick Outs, Pop Passes across the middle dare I say it to the Tight ends and let them build some confidence. Like the other poster said , I know Harris was high on some throws against Auburn but you have to keep with these quick passes and I believe the accuracy will come.

Pretty sure Harris missed a screen, a crossing route, and a few short comebacks

With more experience Harris will learn to put a "governor" and that cannon. Needs to learn when to cut it loose and when to show some touch. Most may have forgotten Mett overthrowings WR's every game two years ago. Last year (with Cam's help) he was night and day better.
