It is not qb development, it is qb play. Harris cannot hit an open man across the middle or on the out pattern....He can throw the long ball and hope the receiver gets it...the plays are good plays, the receivers are open......but at the end of the day the qb cannot make the throws....oc can not throw the ball. i dont believe harris will be the qb next year.....

Yeah, but this has been the story every year for the past several years (except Mett - who began his career at Georgia and then to JUCO).

It's not as if Jefferson, Lee, Jennings or Harris were crap coming out of high school. Weren't they all 4 stars? And why is it that teams who get 2 star talent at QB end up being far better at that position?

1. Most of those 2 stars succeed in a "one read" offense. The plays are designed to go to one player. It's simple and effective if the QB is accurate.

2. 90% of those one read offenses are run entirely from the sidelines, even the protection schemes are called by the coach.

A pro-style offense revolves around a QB making all the protection calls and audibles at the LOS. It also requires them to make pre-snap reads to determine where they are going with the ball. They then have to go through progressions, move safeties with their eyes, and have a quick trigger to be successful.

Harris seems to have the protection scheme and audibles down, but he still struggles with pre-snap reads. He's also bad about moving the safeties and going through progressions. Add into all of this that he is not very accurate and you have a recipe for bad QB play.

He's also only a sophomore and will get better with time in the system.
