I don't think it's accurate at all. It doesn't account for the fact that he was injured in the Auburn game as a significant reason he didn't get much playing time after that rather than assuming that the coaches had zero confidence in him. Gunslinger is not fair since it implies racking up interceptions, which he hasn't. Lumping Harris with Jennings and last years team stats is not accurate. He played very little of it.

That being said, he is prone to mistakes that can cost the team a game. At times, Harris looked like an All-American last year, but far too often he looked like he didn’t belong under center in the SEC.

Not quite having a grasp of the offense yet is very different from being prone to mistakes. BH hasn't shown whether he is prone to mistakes or not yet. He didn't play enough to earn a "far too often" label yet.

I'm not saying BH is going to be a Heisman candidate this year. He may turn out to be darn average. But to imply that he has accumulated a body of work at this point and it's awful is both inaccurate and unfair.

Fair point, the sample size from Harris is very small. But the gist of it is that Harris needs to learn to add his skills into our offense. Last year he wasn't able to hand the ball off or keep drives alive consistently.
He doesn't need to throw for 500 yards and 5 TD's a game if he can just give LSU 7 man fronts to run against and get the ball to receivers in space.
