QB Recruiting - The Reality
Posted on 1/18/16 at 7:40 pm

The reality is, that LSU does "NOT" have to sign a QB in this class. I know everyone is rushing to get a new QB this year, but fact of the matter is Brandon Harris is Good enough to manage the game. If Les will turn him loose and Cam Cameron to do their thing, I think Harris will be much improved from last year.
If Les will allow Harris to run the Read Option like Deshaun Watson is getting the opportunity to do, Harris can be every bit as good or better in the LSU system. If LSU spreads the field and allows Harris to Read the play and either hand it to the RB, Run the ball himself or pass it, LSU will be very successful on Offense. With a Defense having to account for 3 WR's 1 TE Receiver or 4 WR's, the RB and the QB, there wont be a Defense that can stop our O. We would average at least 30 pts. per game.
With Aranda at the helm on Defense and all our talent on D, LSU will easily hold opponents to 14 points or probably much less per game. I think this year we will have great success.
Harris will not leave early for the draft and will be back for another great year in 2017-2018 in which we will be training a QB from the 2017 recruiting class.
LSU fans need to stop acting as if we have to sign a QB recruit in 2016. We have QB's, we just need to continue developing them.

Let Harris run and throw and put LF on the bench. No more than 15 touches for Fournette.

People can get hurt. Yes you should sign a QB every year and let them battle it out on practice fields.

I don't understand the melt. Harris for 2 more years and then McMillan will be a RS Soph.
That is 3 years in the system for McMillan. If he isn't ready, then we will probably have a RS Frosh behind him or another transfer.
But the fact is that a RS Soph should absolutely be ready to go after Harris.
I guess everyone is just writing off McMillan.

You need to sign a QB every class. When you don't you end up in the no depth situation we've been in for the last 7 years.

OP your just making excuses for our coaches QB development epidemic!! Elite QBS are staying away from LSU like the Plague because we don't have anything resembling a passing game. Every top football program signs at least 1qb every year. LSU needs to go ahead an offer Lindsey Scott and quit screwing around!! We need QB depth for the future.

Just to compare with Bama. At least one every year. 6 in last 4 years
From 2016:
Jalen Hurts, 4*, more than likely will redshirt.
From 2015:
Blake Barnett, 5*, may get the starting job next year.
From 2014:
David Cornwell, 4*, may get the starting job next year, may transfer if he doesn't
Coker-transfer from FSU
From 2013:
Cooper Bateman, 4*, got some time this year, may get job next year.
Parker McLeod, 3*, no idea if he is around.

Honestly, with our skill at fullback - I wish we'd run like a Power Spread look with a little more size on the field. After all, we are a power run team. I think we could variate it to give legit looks and keep LF an active threat in the game. It could really open up for Harris if LF has a lead blocker... we all saw the first half of the season. Even #47 came on late in the season (he was a true freshman)...
JD moore is that good. He needs to be on field for LF.

From what I've seen from B Harris, it seems like he has a hard time reading a defense.

So, pivot the offense to spread, when everyone thinks we have a pro-style OC? And double down on dual threats again, which has proven very problematic under Miles? Well, now that sounds real promising, now doesn't it.

Are y'all silly? Who is behind hopefully good redshirt sophomore McMillan in 2018? A redshirt freshman who is at least a 2 year project as a passer? A graduate transfer in 2016 or 2017? If McMillan goes down (hell even if he doesn't he's still a project and we all know how LSU handles QB projects) we will be suffering at QB in 2018.
Yes, let's go 6 ft project in one class and no QB in the next class. Then after 2017 we are left with a redshirt freshman/true sophomore as the backup or possible starter. BRILLIANT!!!

So wait till the position is vacant and bring in a freshman.

I wanted my boys to be lock down corners when they grow up like dad. I think we might start working on some dropbacks this week tho lol 
. He'll commit as soon as offered, grades are awesome, 1st grade reading on a 3rd grade level so I figure he'll be able to read A&M's defense soon.

So your argument is that Harris is going to turn the corner in his junior season so we're ok, and by the time he leaves we'll have a true sophomore ready? You don't understand the issue there?
Watson is the exception, not the rule. McMillan will be a RS-junior but who's to say he waits that long or turns out to be a SEC QB? It can't be said enough, you have to recruit more QBs than you will ever play because inevitably over half of them will transfer or suck. It's just the way it is. LSU has to take a QB this year AND next year even if they aren't "elite" prospects.
ETA: it's ironic you named your thread "The Reality", because it's unrealistic to assume every QB LSU signs will eventually develop into a capable starter. The "reality" is the majority of them won't, and that needs to be mitigated by signing one every year.

Holding opponents to much less than 14 points per game is asking a lot.

Why elite qb's stay away.
- Les Miles cannot develop a qb
- Because of this, the Franks, Pattersons, Haskins wont come
- Les Miles is forced to run the ball heavily because we don't have a qb who can make throws, read defenses
- This only confirms Les' offensive approach and that nothing is wrong with it
