He is very accurate, something Harris struggles with at times. He was running for his life at Purdue. If LSU oline stays basically intact there is a very good chance he will be the man in 2016. Decent protection and we've got us a good QB to go with the ground game. May be a very good year coming up. We shall see.


Check his college numbers out and explain to me where this "he is accurate" stuff comes from? What in the past gives you the idea he will be "the man in 2016"? Just curious.

I have not seen or read anything that backs those statements up, other than wishful thinking. His completion percentage was in the 50s and his TD to Interception ratio is worse than Harris and Jennings. And that was against Big 10 defenses versus the SEC Harris and Jennings have gone against. I'd love to have a backup QB with all the potential some are claiming for Etling. I just haven't seen the evidence. Am I missing something?

Maybe better Ol, wrs, rb? More experience? He is very smart and all we need is serviceable who has a high football IQ and can complete critical 3rd and 7 passes. Not like bama has trotted out superstars...just smart serviceable qbs... Its all LSU needs. If Harris can suddenly read a defense and complete a short pass...then he is our man. If he can't, consistently, then it appears we have options.

If you notice I said he was running for his life behind a horrible oline at Purdue. When he gets time he is very accurate. Watch his film. Maybe that's what you're missing. Have a great day.

It's like a good number of these idiots want him to be terrible.






This is why we all should be able to downvote multiple times.
