Brandon Harris Takes Full Responsibility For Last Season: "I Was Terrible"

Brandon Harris blaming himself for the shortcomings of his head coach and offensive coordinator is a sad state of affairs.

Miles: "Absolutely my fault, something I'm not getting done, too many sacks, pressures." LINK It is not Harris. Look at the picture. What do you see? Miles/Cam/and an O-Line putting Harris in terrible situations at ALA & ARK. He faced 3rd and 10+ yds on 13 of 25 plays, "something Joe Montana nor any QB could convert". He had no protection and was pressured to scramble on over 50% of his dropbacks. He was sacked 10 times vs ALA and ARK, 5 each game, and sustained shoulder, groin, and knee injuries at ALA. He converted a 1st Qtr 3rd-18 from the back of the endzone with a 37yd dart to Dural, then limped off after his 2nd Sk coming in the 2nd Qtr on a 40yd TD to Dural when an unblocked blitzing Cyrus Jones drilled him full speed while he was throwing. Miles/Cam in 3 yrs are 14-10 in SEC play, 58%, the same avg Cam had in NFL. Cam never had a short passing game. The 7-0 run-blocking O-line disintegrated in November: LINK

All players could use improvement, if Harris is better with the short touch passes, 3rd down decisions, and take off and run when its there he have a great year and so will LSU.

Harris wasn't terrible last year, he just wasn't great. He wasn't bad for a sophomore in his first year starting. Especially with the play calls, lack of imagination until the end of the seasons, and poor routes and drops by receivers. I admire that he took the blame although it's definitely not all on him. It's a far cry from a former QB that would play terrible many times, and then tell the media he played well.

I admire that he admits his deficiency, but trying to be held accountable for everything that went wrong is either an act of arrogance or showing he did not really understand the cause of problem.

Id like Brandon Harris to be like AJ McCarron. A confident game manager and minimal turnovers.

he lacked a lot of confidence for sure

To tell you the truth, minus his cmp% (which also has a lot to do with drops), he was near identical to Zach Mett's 2012 campaign. There is a high probability that he will blow up this year now with experience, better coaching, improved pass catchers, improved OL, and a coach that knows his arse is on the line if he doesn't.

Nobody ever mentions that he was making some pretty decent strides towards the back half of the season until that hernia happened. I hold nothing against him after that

I don't think he was terrible but I will say I like HIS approach to a less than stellar season better than some of his predecessors.

He wasn't great, but I don't think he was "terrible" either. I don't like that he feels he was terrible. Not saying he lacks confidence, but I'd rather he say something like" there are things I could have done better and will improve on this year". I'm not reading into what he said, I just hope he doesn't lose confidence in himself because that would be a disaster.

He is a great kid and I hope he has a great year. I am rooting hard for him

I love this quote. It's honesty like this that makes me a fan.

Showing some real maturity these days. Won't go unnoticed.

When will this generation learn to just prove it on the field!

Harris is exhibiting some real leadership by stating this...I hope he lights up the field this year...

I don't think he was terrible. The scheme was just predictable and we didn't have a defense that was able to make up for the offensive shortcomings.

The Tigers' troubles last year certainly aren't all Harris' fault. But this statement is a MAN statement. It shows humility, ownership, responsibility, self-challenge. In Les' lingo, Harris has CHEST!! Great character. The seed of Glory is Humility!

Those stats aren't bad and I wouldn't say he was terrible because we have all seen worse but it's good he sees the faults in his game and hopefully he can improve them and have a great year

The first step to recovery is admitting it
