That is not what I meant.
Harris has admitted to getting the plays from Cam/Les, running to the huddle, and calling the wrong play.

I know one of Brandon's assistant coaches at Parkway. The kid was under center 1/3 of the time.

After hearing that interview, I definitely think that Harris will be the starter. His confidence and the way Tre talks about him make me hopeful for the future

This has always been the case.... Now whether he can back it up is what remains to be seen.

The bottom line is Les has his guys at QB. Always has, and always will. EVERYONE knows his stubbornness with sticking with his type of guy, to the level of creating a point of contention over it with his OC/QB coach's. Jennings was left in games several times last year, when Cam wanted to go with Harris, just to save Jennings mentally, and was overruled on each occasion by you know who.
Les would love nothing more than to run smash mouth every play of every game and never need to pass. He has not and will not evolve with the game. He doesn't know how. Guys like Jennings run practice/games Lester's way, which is safe, and trying not to make a mistake. Harris knows the playbook, but it's in his nature/instinct to try to make things happen, and will his team to score on pretty much every play. He has much of what the greats usually always possess, that WILL to drive his team, and never be out of a game when there is time on the clock.
Les likes to keep control of this position, and forces the players at this position to do it his way only, or you don't see the field. Unfortunately, his way can only work at this level when you have such a powerful running game that you can just "manage" the offense, which is unrealistic in today's SEC game. This flaw of his will ultimately be his demise.

You are a blind idiot. Mettenberger, Landry and Beckham say hello. You act like Les doesn't want to win. He will throw the ball if he has the players that can execute those plays.
Link please to Cam being overridden over who plays QB. Where do you come up with this stuff?

There were so many times last year when it was mind boggling as to why he never even gave Harris a chance to see the field.
It's been stated several times harris had a high ankle sprain that's why he didn't see the field.

Two of those receivers are all-pro and rookie of the year candidates. Mett had a cannon....
we were still in the bottom of throwing the ball.
good god.

"Not knowing the playbook" is pretty accurate actually.
Turning the wrong way on a handoff is not lack of execution, it's lack of knowledge of the play that has been called.
Ok, so you use one play that you remember and jump to your own conclusions about where it went wrong. What about the UK interception? He clearly threw it to an eligible receiver in his route, but choreographed it and got intercepted; so now I win because I have one example that proves all points.
The kid wouldn't have even made it to the field if he simply didn't know the playbook. That is the point of my post, it is a derived conclusion for people like you that just can't figure out why Harris isnt starting because his 247 rating was higher. The kid would have been told to transfer if after a year he just didnt know the playbook, but had everything else figured out. He seemed to know the playbook just fine against NMSt when the stakes werent high.
Thank you for proving my point.

Thanks for making my point Captain. If Les has the horses he will run the offense suited to what he has. Unless you are a coach practicing with these guys every day, you don't know any more than the rest of us out here in cyber space. Les will run what he can to win and the coaches know the players from practicing with them each day.
To think he would rather lose just to prove his point is beyond stupid. I'm not happy with our offense the past few seasons but in no way do I believe Les just wants to run his style no matter what.
At the bottom of throwing the ball compared to who? 2013 passing yards stats:
TAMU - 3,971
Alabama - 3,876
LSU - 3,263
Auburn - 2,984
Georgia - 2,599
Arkansas -= 2,444
We might not be Baylor but I prefer a balanced offense to that any day of the week.

Bottom of what exactly? Metenberger was tied for 2nd overall, only behind the heisman trophy winner in yards per attempt, and 26 in total passing yards, with only like 5 of those guys finishing on a ranked team. Also 57 in attempts si that can't be what you are talking about either.
You are such a tard it is unbelievable.

Does anybody remember like 8 consecutive touchdown drives by this kid when he got his chance? I don't care who it was against, he came in to replace a struggling AJ, and we all got a taste of what potential this kid has. I don't ever remember seeing an LSU offense look like that, EVER!

One play? You think it happened once?

Urban Meyer has the same approach

Just a lot more misdirection and creativity to help his backs not have to run into a brick wall.
