With the exception of Perrilloux being more stoutly built they are very similar in terms of talent, arm and instincts. Even their high school senior season numbers were very similar.. RP was a very special talent and had the "it" factor on the field but he just couldn't handle the fame off the field.. I think BH has the stable upbringing and maturity to handle everything thrown his way.

I've thought the best talent I've ever seen come through Baton Rouge since 1960 when I saw my first game were Casanova, Cecil Collins, Ryan Perrilloux, and Tyran Mathieu. This Harris may belong to that group. We'll know a lot more after Saturday's Auburn game. This kid just seems to have a feel for the game that goes beyond speed, quick release, accuracy, etc. I also wonder what could have been so different in the practices so as to obscure the reality on the field on Saturday, or stated another way, what blindness could have missed in practice what we get to see only on Saturday.

The hype is building for Harris like it did for Fournette. Here's hoping it all pans out!

Do y'all remember Perrilloux led the country in passing efficiency that next season? Ugh

Disagree. Perrilloux was an athlete, but not as much as Harris is and not in the same way. Perrilloux's instincts in HS were top. He was a 4.75 guy, but he had amazing running instincts. Flynn timed higher in the 40 than Perrilloux. Would also put Perrilloux's arm talent a notch before the Mett, JR, and Harris's of the world. (In other words, the guys with insane canons for arms.)

What made RP such an amazing prospect is that in HS he had the complete physical package and amazing instincts for the game. Harris came out of HS as a much more raw prospect, but I would put his physical talent a notch above.

This kid is special, so far. He is so athletic. Some of his throws, on the run, were as technically sound as you could get from a college QB. I think he'll be ready. He has alot to prove to Auburn. They were one of his three final choices. Auburn head scout called him "lil cam". He can make the 3rd and 8, 3rd and 12 throws. He may come out firing and not look back for 4 years.

Why can't Harris just be what Harris will be?

God, I hope your right. Imo, LSU could have won a NC, with RP.

Harris will be great. One of the best arms at LSU. I have EDCI 1001 with him. He went to my high school.

Glad to see you got 21 likes. I said something similar after the MSU game and had a 50:50 reaction with half the people wondering how I could make such a comparison. One guy (with about 30K posts) told me to never post again. When I look at Harris' throws they remind me of a few of the great throws Perrilloux made in the '07 SEC championship game.

I think Harris has more upside than RP from a physical standpoint. He throws a better pass w/ more velocity and seems to have a natural "feel" for the game.

And given the intangible comparison, it's not even close.

RP probably cost a championship for LSU w/ his off the field stuff but seemed to straighten out after. I think Harris could be a high draft pick and play along time in the NFL.

I played jr high football so I'm a QB analyist guru.

He played for the NYG and probably has made more money in the last 5 years than you have made in the last 20.

Remember that RP's biggest contribution occurred as a RS sophomore, when he was nearly 2 years more physically matured than BH is currently. Abilities are similar though.

Let me see how Harris handles the Aub. game. He has looked great in the last 4 quarters of action he has faced, but this will be a whole different world of college/SEC football.

There is a big difference in pressure when you start as opposed to when you sub in. imo

I hope the kid blows the doors off, but I'm not ready to give him RP ability just yet.
