...when we first watched him play against Mississippi State and New Mexico State? Too bad LM and CC started trying to "develop" him.

I'll never understand Miles and his fascination with trying to transform a dual-threat into a pro-style QB. Of all his quirks, this is certainly what boggles my mind the most.

Can any coaches out there explain to me why he does this? Any Miles apologists out there want to give it a crack? Please rationalize this for me before he's gone.

Our incoming QB talent always seems to shine until they become starter and start getting "coached."

Is Etling that bad?? Seems like he would be more of a pocket passer. Our QB doesn't have to be a playmaker, all he needs to do is be a game manager. Hit the short passes that are given to you. Bama hasn't had a great qb in a while but they still dominate, why? Because they get a qb that will hit those type of passes. They don't ask him to do too much.

You don't understand the first thing about QBing an SEC team. There ARN'T "dual threats" or "pro styles." There are just QBs, except in some outlier programs that run the single wing. Some QBs are more "mobile" than others, but to play the position in the SEC you better be able to perform. Look at Alabama's Hurts...yeah in high school he was listed as "dual threat" but it isn't on his dam college resume.

Harris just can't, at least to the inflated expectations of the fans...and this was evident early on. He plays small and afraid, has poor fundamentals, can't read the defense, and is paralyzed be a shite storm of "don't do this" from coaches.

This isn't high school. Not even Desean Watson plays as a "dual threat" rather than "pro style." The less knowledgable fans create this shite storm of expectations about "dual threat" and now cannot see the truth. Instead they have to create an alternative universe to explain their QB savior's failings. I doubt Harris would be the 10th best runner on the team, so who should be running the ball?

I recommend a course, "SEC QB 101."

You have put your finger on the core problem. Dual threat QBs recruited, then ruined, in serial fashion. Go back to at least Russell Shepherd. CLM has not a clue.
