Some poster mentioned watching Harris and Etling in a practice/scrimmage

Said that Harris looked solid, but if he went down and we had to go to Etling, we were in trouble (more or less what they said). Not wanting to blast anyone, but curious if anybody remembers that thread, and what exactly did the poster see. Just a bad day for Etling, dealing with that back injury, or poster probably FOS?

Could it also be that BH does better without pressure and Etling does better under pressure?
Kinda like at the driving range vs on the course. I always hit golf balls like a pro on the range and then suck it up on the course. I see BH as that kind of player. Just as good as Etling but the pressure cooks him and he's not that great.

Probably a complete Hanlon's razor situation.

I remember the thread. Check under LesMiles#1 or ImtheMadHatter username.
In all seriousness, I do remember the thread though.

Several posters said the same thing. They were all at the same scrimmage.
Keep in mind DE was practicing with a lower back strain. His mechanics were off and looked horrible. He made several interception s that scrimmage.

to be fair, danny might just be a gamer.

I remember the post and he said exactly that we were screwed if Harris went down.

It doesn't matter, why single out that poster for having an out dated opinion?

From all accounts, players, former players, and CLM, Harris does perform a lot better during practice as opposed to in the heat of battle. That says that the physical talent is there; the mental toughness is not, apparently.

It was me, I won't run from it. He still hasn't played a good defense yet.
At that scrimmage he looked like shite against our defense.
If he goes into auburn and does his thing then I'll eat crow.
But I'm not going nuts over jax st and miss st. Let's give teams time to get film on him before we claim him to be the Les job savior

I remember that thread but can't remember the poster. All I know is if you watched the Spring game you could see that Harris still struggled to hit the easy short passes. Then the Manning academy report that he was really bad trying to hit stationary targets 15yds away. The info was all there. We all just bit thinking him gaining experience was going to change his physical abilities.

I've heard the opposite.

I recall that last year some posters posting that a few players were saying Etling was better in practice and would be the future starter???

Doesn't matter about practice & scrimmage, the QB job belonged to Harris. There was no competition because Les wanted Harris....Les was more dejected about having to remove Harris than being pleased for Etling for making the offense look a lot better.

I had a high school head coach tell me he watched a practice over the summer and Etling wasn't an SEC QB. Don't wanna put him on blast, but maybe he needs to find a new profession.

Mike D said the same. I am going to have Moscona ask him on Thursday about that.
