HARRIS played good I thought until Bama. Problem was Miles shut him after a few mistakes. Yes, that carried over to Ole Miss & Ark. IMO Miles overreacts to a mistake & will not throw anymore. Last year, Brando said "worst thing that could have happened to HARRIS was throwing int on 1st series of 2nd half against Bama." Let him throw!

it's a statistical fact that BH was better than AJ and his stats were not strong but not weak.

I look for substantial improvement this year because of having a year under his belt and I think he will gain confidence early on if the staff will let him toss the rock. also, he should run more after recovering from his injuries.

Brandon Harris tied for 2nd place all time for passing attempts in the OM game, at 51 attempts. The whole premise of your argument is that we shut down passing, and we threw more times than we had in 16 years.

In the arkansas game, it was 35 times. I don't have the complete stats available to verify, but an average of 43 times per game appears to be the most ever attempted by an LSU Tiger in a 2 game stretch. Rohan Davey had 44 and 43 in one season, but weren't consecutive, and would only be .5 attempts over.

This argument is absolutely ridiculous; you, and anyone that agrees with you, has no clue how to objectively evaluate anything, and should refrain from doing so at the expense of losing further credibility.

Harris was awful last year, no better than Jennings the year before him. I'm not ready to write him off, but he has a lot of work to do. If you say otherwise, I just don't know what to tell you.

Harris has everything to be a successful QB, plus more. He has heart. Which is pretty rare these days, most play for stats and wouldn't dare risk an injury to make a play. Harris just wants to win, and is such a humble kid while doing it. All he needs is confidence and this rest in Miles and Cams hands, let the kid play the first half of the season and he will excel in the second. let's not just ask him to throw once the running game isn't working. A balanced offense and we win the SEC this year.

Ever since Mett, it has been the same old song and dance, next year will be his year. Maybe we should develop a QB instead of wasting another year

This will be the year for mr Harris. This year will decide if LSU should stay with him any longer or not. I think he will play well this year.

Harris was pretty poor last year, but I WRs were awful as well, at least the first half of the season.

Games against Syracuse and Eastern Michigan were downright dreadful for the QB and WRs.

Harris was pretty bad in his check downs too. I remember so many times where Fournette could have converted 3rd downs, or had long gains or scored TDs, but Harris was too locked in to down field covered WRs.

Go look at how many times he threw in those games.

I don't think he is bad, but i think the injury effected him, and he has a lot of room to improve.

I love this gradual deLSUion that has occurred between January and August for the last several years. By September Harris will be all but walking on water in the eyes of the hat worshippers. Then by November reality kicks them in the nuts once again. Absolutely nothing will change.. This mentally challenged head coach will once again do what he does... Rinse and repeat.

It was a good call by cam and we need to see more of that, just a poor throw. He's going to improve on those throws and it's going to help a ton

We tried this. Harris was not accurate on short or intermediate throws. I swear its like our fans dont even watch the games.
I think you need to go back and look at pass attempts in Arky and Ole Miss games. You do realize that you can look this shite up, right?

The problem seems to be you have been in a cave somewhere if you didn't know Harris had an injury in the Alabama game that required surgery after the season.

You probably should try to keep up with LSU football a little better. Might stop you from making stupid arse post that only makes you look clueless.

With the offensive system and coaching he was set up to fail. Hopefully now things are changing but I'm not sure yet.

I like Harris and I think he will do very well this upcoming season.
