Wrong... We just won't blame miles as much if we have to run 68% of time and Cameron will catch hell like never seen. Lol. Cameron still filling qb depth and Harris still hasn't went live vs our ones this fall. He's got the plays down but still so much more.. Audibles, checkdowns, giving blocking assignments pre snap; read safety high/low, cover 1-2, blitzes, Long way to go. Only a sophomore. We need LF/DW/guice to take a lot of pressure off Harris. 2k yards between 3-4 backs would help a lot.

Granddad brings up a good point. Yes we mostly would like Harris to start. He showed flashes with State and NM St. Confusion with Wisky briefly and ineptness at Auburn. He clearly has a much stronger arm and his speed and quickness is better than AJs. We have a small sample size to observe with Brandon.
We saw AJ briefly in 13 until the final drive against Pigs as he hit three wide open receivers. This is still his shining moment. He looked like crap against Iowa, but we figured it was first time starting jitters like Brandon against Auburn and gave him a pass. Then we all watched AJ last year with a much bigger sample size of plays than Harris. Simply, he was far from impressive and I understand the WRs didn't always help him, but basically they were all first year players as well except for Dural with 7 career catches.
I think most of us agree with me, that if Harris is not the answer, LSU doesn't have one.
Anyway, August is always a time for optimism. Last year many had LSU blowing out Wisky and State.
Bottom line is I think most will give Harris the benefit of the doubt but not all because the next guy is someone we all know much better than the next guy generally.

There's been no "Preponderace of Evidence" as of yet that Brandon Harris: Knows the Playbook, Can Audible, Can Check Down, Can give blocking assignments pre-snap, Can read the Safety high/low, Can recognize Cover 1-2, Can pick-Up blitzes or any of the other things necessary that really good QB's do.
No way to determine that in the "Low Pressure" atmosphere of practice either, so I don't care what he looks like there.
Don't care if he tears it up against McNeese State either. That's basically practicing against a High School team. (And Miles better let him throw it on every frickin down to get the "Game Atmosphere" timing down with his receivers) The RB's don't need that much work. We know they can run fast.
Give us a holler after the M.S.U. and Auburn games.................
