I don't know about him throwing to the recievers but just saw a video and he hit 2 of the 3 golf carts.

It also said at the end of the story that he hit 2 of the 3 like nearly every qb there. So I guess nearly all of them suck at the golf cart passes

I don't know why this is news. I expect him to make better decisions this year, I guess, but he's just an inaccurate passer guys. I mean, what else can you say at this point? He's been inaccurate since he got here. Texas Bowl game gave me some hope but that Tech D was an absolute embarrassment

Bright kid. The media, possibly NFL scouts, and a couple of super bowl winning QBs in attendance seems like a good time to "not take it seriously".

Dude's an SEC starter and couldn't hit billboards. That's funny.

But he did hit 2 of 3 golf carts. Those are more important than billboards

Brandon Harris is sometimes inconsistent with accuracy, but that's not his main problem. As Harris, or any QB, becomes more comfortable in an offense his decision making will speed up. This allows time to execute the physical fundamentals of throwing the ball. This will improve his accuracy and results.

Now, when you're missing golf carts and undefended receivers you have an innate problem that won't be coached or practiced away. That's just something we'll have to live with. And don't believe for a minute that his inaccuracy at the camp is because he's not taking it seriously. That's silly. What human would not want to impress the most respected members of his profession when performing right in front of them?


Yep. I used to look like Elway throwing the ball... Until it got about halfway out of my hand. Then it was anybody's guess where it would go.

Accuracy can't be coached. Nobody can make you know when to let go of the ball, how to point your arm the right way, and how much muscle to put behind it. And the shite isn't easy.

Same reason Shaq missed free throws. Being accurate is more than just hard work. It's like an intelligence.

There's a reason you don't know the names of most of the guys on this list. Nick Mullens (Southern Miss) has the most impressive collegiate stats of any of them.


Please, continue to tell me how this is indicative of talent, development or future success.

You're logic is way off. Just because the winners didn't do well in real games doesn't mean that the losers would do any better.

Sounds like Harris needs to learn how to control his accuracy while still throwing good balls. This is true for any pitcher, tennis player, QB, or other athlete perfoming at any level. I think Harris gets it, and if he executes, he'll have big things ahead. I like our chances at this point. Geaux tigers!

He just wasn't accurate according to people that were there. Hopefully this will improve before fall.
Either you're accurate or you're not. His accuracy is not going to improve because of the remaining summer workout's in July and August, no matter how much you hope that it does. What you see is what you get with him.

Pretty sure his draft profile said it, too.



It most certainly did not. JRUSS did not have accuracy issues.

Say what. Jamarcus Russell was not better than Bert Jones-in grade school, high school, college, or pro.

2006 JRuss is the best qb in lsu history and its not debatable.

I just read both Chad Kelly and Deshaun Watson were off against the stupid golf cart crap as well. Read Kelly missed it by a mile.

Maybe it's true maybe it isn't. The whole point of the camp is to improve on weaknesses.


Also I remember that Jordan Jefferson was called the most talented qb at the manning camp. Didn't play out that way

It wasn't wearing a helmet to bounce the ball off of it.

I think Miles recruits QB with an eye to having an excuse for mediocre results.



Not really, don't freak out.
