No, people think this because Harris would rather take off running than read through his progressions. He certainly runs a lot better than he passes. That said, he was recruited as a pro style QB because at the high school level he was a beast at throwing the ball.

You may want to look at your numbers again.

Mett was stationary only because he couldn't outrun Christmas. Pro style doesn't mean you can't run.

uh no
Harris would rather force a pass than run
Harris rarely takes off and runs

Etling seems to do a good job sliding in the pocket or stepping up when he feels pressure. He creates passing lanes with his movement and allows a little extra time for receivers to get separation. He can throw on the run, but you don't have to put him on the run to make a throw. He seems equally comfortable under center as he does in the shotgun. He also has enough velocity and accuracy to throw and complete a 15 yard out from the pocket. I think that makes him a very capable qb for LSU's system.

They were both in the negative for one year and Jamarcus has 142 rushing yards total for the next year. I don't see how 142 rushing yards for an entire season excludes the guy from being a fricking statue lol.

the fact that he had positive yardage proves that he wasn't a complete statue
sacks count against QBs rushing totals
so considering he was able to 1) avoid sacks 2) make up yardage from sacks proves that he was not a complete statue like Mett
this shouldn't be hard to understand

You're talking about almost 300 rushing yards difference between the two. That is a huge difference for QBs. I'd normally say something along the lines of "you can't possibly be this stupid," but I think you are.

Now you are stretching it.

That yardage includes sacks for QBs. Looking strictly at their gains, which doesn't include sacks:
Mett gained 35 yards in 2013 and 44 in 2012
Russell gained 282 in 2006 and 215 in 2005.
Pretty significant differences. Hell, if you actually watched both of them play, it's pretty easy to see the difference

This.
He is not super fast or agile, but he has enough athletic ability to get out of trouble and seem to just know exactly when to use it.

The ability to go through progressions and operate from under center are two marks of a pro-style QB, and he has them both. Plenty of pro style guys are mobile.

I always took pro-style to mean running was always a third or fourth option if no one was open and they work more from under center.
Also Jamarcus could move in the pocket and shake defenders off because of his size but he was pretty much a statue. I remember him getting some decent runs when the field was wide open and he would slowly lumber forward until someone tripped him up.

I did and do. JaMarcus was not a complete statue like Mett. He wasn't "duel threat" either, but he wasn't a statue.
