Well done, didn't have time to go all the way through but first few were spot on

Etling needs to work on timing and putting more zip on the pass for out routes and comebacks. I'm fearful of upcoming Ds...

Good stuff.

Agreed, he seems to be more of a float it in there guy than a throwing darts kind of guy. Either way can work but I'm not sure he has the precision and accuracy to drop it in the bucket consistently

he will only get better with more playing time...the few that were a little discouraging where the plays he throws them deep and have wide open receivers down low which only happened probably a handful of times

The timing will come with more play.
He threw 3 "outs" that didn't have "zip" on them.
The first was to Dupre when he couldn't step into the throw because two unblock defenders were bearing down on him. Nevertheless, he threw it with such timing (before Dupre came out of his break) that Dupre ended up being wide open
The second was a deep corner that was supposed to have air on it. The pass just didn't get to the endzone (and Chark dropped it)
The third was an out to Chark that he had to throw with some touch to get in over the underneath defender (Chark made a great catch). If he throws it on a line, it may have been a pick 6.
There were other times that he stuck the ball into receivers over the middle and near the side lines.
Compared to Harris, DE's arm is "weak". However, just about every one of Harris' throws are rockets regardless of it the receiver is 20 yards away or 5.

I tend to agree, it seems like there were times when he could have put some more into it, but he was able to get the ball to his wide outs consistently and thats what matters. I'd rather a touch pass to an open receiver than a rocket 12 feet off the ground into a crowd of defenders.

Sub tweeting Brandon Harris big time

You'll see more improvement as he gets more practice reps with the ones(ie D&D) and adjusts more to them.
I already saw some improvement last week.

What makes you think he has a weak arm? Harris is like a relief pitcher, throw it hard everytime which is completely unnecesaary.

Because he does not have as strong of an arm as Harris. Not a knock, just a fact.

Joe Montana wasn't known for his rocket arm either...he did alright...

Who is to say his arm is weak though? Did Montana in your mind have a strong arm? The phrase was his arm was "weak" compared to Harris. I call bullshite on that. Harris is no Bert Jones or JRussell - hell not even Steve Ensminger for that matter. Those are the top three strongest arms I've ever seen play in an LSU uniform. Harris is not in their class. So if I said that Harris has a weak arm compared to Bert Jones JRuss or Steve Ensminger you would call BS. YOUR OPINION based on a few throws thinks Harris has so much a stronger arm that you felt today to state "not to knock DE his arm is weak as compared to Harris". Yet that is exactly what you do when you make those statements.

There were 3 passes that would have been picks against better D. That's why he needs to put zip on those outs and comebacks

As long as he's putting the ball where it needs to be and moving the sticks I don't give a frick if he's kicking it to the wideouts.
