re: The QB position and Brandon Harris

running an offense that is so complex and superior that you've never had a quarterback pick it up within 2 yrs is an absolutely insane approach to offense

It's only insane when you start your quarterback inside those 2 years. The offensive system is not the issue... when executed correctly, it's virtually unstoppable and imposes itself on the defense whereas he spread is read-and-react by nature.

Quarterback development isn't the issue, either. Every QB has, during Miles's tenure, improved noticeably. Like at every other school, this reaches its peak during a prospect's third year.

The issue that people have is in QB recruiting... Which is a legitimate criticism. Missing on our No.1 targets in 2010 and 2012 hurt us BAD. However, it's not as if LA puts out the same level of talent at QB as every other position.

The following is a list of 5* QBs to come out of either Texas or Louisiana since Vince Young (2002) and the school they signed with:

tx-Rhett Bomar, ok
la-Ryan Perriloux, lsu
tx-Matthew Stafford, uga
tx-Ryan Mallett, mich
tx-Russell Shepard, lsu
tx-Garrett Gilbert, tx

There hasn't been one since 2009.

There just haven't been a lot of good QBs coming out of our traditional QB recruiting grounds in the past 5 years or so.
