Les has already come out and said that Harris is probably your starter.
That's the most definitive answer we've gotten from Les regarding the QB during the spring in years. Typically he will say "both guys are competing for the spot" or something like that at this point of the year. But he didn't say that this year. He gave Harris a vote of confidence and backed already. That tells me that it's Harris' team, period. And it should be.

WHAT? Are you serious? Why would you want the best QB to play?

What do you mean why? Re-read my post. Les has already backed Harris as the starter at the beginning of spring. Something he hasn't done in the past. That's what tells me it's Harris' team.
And of course you want the better player to start. And Harris is the best QB we have. People thinking otherwise are just wrong. Sorry.

he just has to be his usual self, but that does not mean he will be pulled. Just remember last years 3 straight losses.

While you are correct in saying Harris has been in this offense for three years, the other players on offense were amazed at how quickly Etling learned it. Some of the receivers say Etling knows it better than Harris.
Stop making shite up or link the suspect information you are spouting. Who are the receivers who claim Etling knows the offense better than Harris? Name them.

If you think what we saw last year is the best we've got, there is plenty of room for ANYONE else with a good command of the offense to step in.
I said preseason last year that Harris had the talent to show out, similar to JFF and Crab Winston. Of course the job is his to lose, but he needs to bring it this year.

Would take Etling starting Day 1 over Harris. Sustaining drives this year is a major key, and Etling would probably be more consistent.

Did you pull this out of your arse or what? What makes you think this? Do you have any other reason other than race to make such a stupid claim? Yeah, I'm calling it stupid.

In fairness, last year his backup was Jennings. In many aspects of the game Harris was better than Jennings. Even though our passing game was very poor Harris was capable of hurting you with his arm where Jennings was not.
I expect Etling to push him but Harris will ultimately win the job and I think (hope) will be a much improved quarterback, particular in the short and intermediate passing game where he struggled mightily.

Nothing to do with race, bruh. I've never thought Harris was that good. Throws a deep ball too much which means lower completion percentage, no touch on the short passes that he does throw, doesn't run hard (looks like he's looking for a place to lay down). I don't think he's consistent enough for LSU to win a championship. Etling more likely to throw and complete short to medium passes which will reduce three and outs. Got to play the percentages to improve time of possesion 10-15% over last year. You can call the race card all you want but you're wrong, brutha. For that matter, if next year was a rebuilding year with no championship aspirations, I'd say start Lindsey Scott September 3rd - and he ain't white.

Another year and the same old QB distraction. I beginning to believe Les likes orchestrating this QB controversy each year.
If the QB play does not improve this year then the problem has to be the head coach. Either he can't hire good coaches capable of coaching the QB position or he can't recruit and develop the QB position. The last potential reason could be that QB position is just not as important to Les as it is to the remainder of the football world. I really don't understand why LSU has such a consistent history of poor QB play during the Les Miles years. How many schools have the ridiculously high record of QB transfers that LSU has?

I think it all started with the Perriloux dismissal and then was capped off with the loss of Gunner Kiel as a recruit.
Perriloux put us in a position where instead of starting a seasoned quarterback on a stacked team we had to start a completely green backup player named Jarret Lee. We ruined him his freshman year (was like a deer in headlights vs pressure until he graduated) and Jordan Jefferson as well. Those players would have had 2 years to grow and learn the system and then one of them would have emerged as a viable starter. The Gunner Kiel situation made us unprepared for the transition away from Mettenburger..

What are you basing this conclusion on??? Seriously...are you just pulling shite out of your arse or what? How do you know he can sustain drives? You sustain drives thru diversity....not running the fking toss dive up the middle on 3rd and 8. Etling played in the Big 10 not the SEC. Im sure he didnt see the kind of consistent pass rushes he will see in the SEC.

based on your thread we are already there but with general Rantards I would say 1 bad series.
the idea of course is ridiculous.

This is what I meant. A lot of people are just feeding an Etling train that has no backing.

Most reasonable guys realize that BH has a live arm and good % #s overall. But that is not enough to be considered a good QB in my book.These are the items that really count in order to be a very good QB(great is not even in the conversation as of yet):1) smart and good decision-maker 2)excellent leadership skills and IT" 3) Toughness and grit 4) can make all the throws and especially in clutch moments . Personally, I haven't seen much of any of the listed 4 yet from BH. But I'm hoping to do so this year...but ya' know what they say about hoping in one hand and ____ in
...I'm pulling for BH but looking for evidence along the way. Etling seems to have the right attitude at the moment. But would like to see him play and see what he's got....which ever one can bring a NC is my choice...lol
