re: Day 2 Of Practice, A.M. Session: Pictures & Videos

Drew Brees' arm strength is deceptive. Because of A)his delivery and B)he knows how to throw with touch.

Harris hasn't learned to throw with touch. And his accuracy problems stem from mechanics, which are all over the place. And that sometimes comes from over throwing. A QB isn't shite if they don't have that touch. See jordan Jefferson. Sometimes it can't even be taught. It's just natural instincts

rasco is gonna have a good year IMO

I was surprised to hear Rasco say he's playing pain free for the 1st time since his early HS days.

Oh so now we're going back and talking about brees in 2001? Quarterbacks can't make it in the league without a strong arm. Pat white could never consistently throw over 50 mph, look where he's at now.

So let me dumb it down for you a little more. Name one quarterback that has survived on arm strength alone?

I'm not saying Harris doesn't have any other great qualities. In my opinion he will develop into an excellent QB because he is a hard worker, a good listener, and has a great coaching staff. But to say he will take the starting job from Jennings is premature unless you can show me evidence of what he brings to the table AS OF TODAY, other than arm strength.

I agree that he was in a tough situation in the bowl game. The problem is that the high-schooler showed better decision making and composure in the spring game, and you can't blame that on a good defense, or a wet field, or being thrown into the fire for a bowl game.

I chalk it up to a bad day. From most reports during spring practice and scrimmages, Jennings was the best QB. Harris was the better guy in the spring game. The spring game is also just one of several spring scrimmages. I just can't wait to hear how their doing when they start scrimmaging in the Fall.

Do you even follow recruiting? Apparently not. BH lit up camp after camp on the national scene. Let's not forget his summer in California training under George Whitfield either….where Whitfield raved about him and compared him to the Heisman Trophy winner Jamieson.

You do know you can say all the same things about Jennings except the Whitfield praise right?

"Eighty-six quarterbacks were here from 19 states and 21 with D-I scholarship offers," Elite 11 coach (and ESPN analyst) Trent Dilfer told the group. "Everyone here impressed the coaches. This group was even more impressive than the one in Dallas a few weeks ago. It's a bottom-line business, and there is only gonna be one from this group. The MVP of the Atlanta regional and the bid to the Elite 11 goes to Anthony Jennings."

So they both come in with good credentials, they both have trained with Whitfield and Cam. Harris obviously has the bigger arm (an amazing one), but his athleticism isn't that much more that Jennings. Jennings, on the other hand, and yes it was from watching high achool tape, he just looks more accurate. We really won't know for sure until we get into a real game, but both have the tools and coaching, and talent around them, to be successful.

he saved LSU from disaster, that's for sure. but it was still a zero SEC win arkansas team who were terrible.

You pulling this out of your arse? I never defended harris or Jennings. Never even mentioned them in my posts.

If his arm is healthy its going to help him fight off blocks and be more explosive off the edge w/ better leverage this year
