Brandon Harris was just a bad quarterback. No system or coach was fixing that.

3.50% better.

Seriously, any QB would be better under this scheme, but mentally I don't think either of them would be able to pull off what Joe has been able to do. Lot's of reads and quick decisions being made.

How about Craig Nall, Jamie Howard, or Terry Robiskie?

What about Jarret Lee and Danny Etling?

They weren't exactly world beaters either. I think it is pretty safe to say that any of our past QBs would have improved under Brady, as opposed to running the Les/Cam bullshite

Jefferson was a robot and poor processor. If you look at Burrows strengths, it’s his ability to improvise, deliver the ball at different angles including on the run. And above all he has total control of what he is doing.

Harris was just the opposite of Jefferson. He was untamed & wild, but not unlike Jefferson. Nothing he did from a mechanics perspective was repeatable. I don’t think either would have been much better.

Harris went to a QB friendly system with Fedora and got him fired

Marginally IMHO. They would have been better though and they would have been put in a better position to succeed given their limitations.

One thing for example is we kept trying to run bubble screens with Jefferson and he just could not throw them for whatever reason. We kept wasting plays trying it anyway. Brady would have recognized that an never called that play more than likely.

Not much, they were not consistent, they could not read defense like Burrow, they did not deliver the ball on time like now. Coaching can draw it up, tell them what to read, but can't make them process information faster.

Fair questions, actually.

There is a reason Oklahoma, Clemson, etc, rock out almost every year. There’s a reason Alabama had a string of consistent QB play, as well.

You commit to something in practice and then execute that. Les Miles, bless his heart, committed to power running and playing defense. That will win games but not championships, not anymore.

In this system, Jefferson and Harris would have been better. Great? No. Better? Yes.

JJ should have been a triple option type QB.

Marginal. Jordan Jefferson and Harris could not understand or make the calls.. could not get us in the right play.

Both of them had Accuracy issues. Harris inparticular. Jefferson had a very very slow release.

Jefferson could not move through progressions either

Not much, you need passing talent to lead a passing offense. Having good legs doesn't make much of a difference. Does Drew Brees run the ball a lot?
