re: I see a lot of talk about Clemson's offensive philosophy.

Listen, I've read a lot of BS on here the past few days putting Brandon Harris down when being compared to Deshaun Watson. Some even sayin Watson was much bigger than Harris, sayin he was as big as Vince Young. lol Wrong! Watson is the same size basically as Harris (6'2"-210). People on here always down LSU talent and all sayin they aren't as good as other athletes from other schools like they did with OBJ sayin he was no Desean Jackson or Tavon Austin when in fact I knew he was. And has now gone on to show that he is actually better than those guys. LSU gets the best athletes that only a school like Bama can compare to. The problem is those guys are not coached up while at LSU, and come out raw when they go to the pros. Once they get to the pros they explode with the great coaching they receive then.

Brandon Harris would be just as good if not better than a Watson if he played in that type of offense. To me he is a better runner than Watson and has a stronger arm. It's because he plays in such a confusing offense that requires him to think a lot that it takes away the kids effectiveness. And it's a shame because anyone can see he has all the tools (talent), but because he has looked bad in this lame offense people dump on him. And that is complete bullshite!

Yes, you simplfy the offense and let these kids play. Harris doesn't need to be doing none of that shite they have him doing. Looking over to the sidelines and all that crap. Just let the kid use his god given talents and play ball. If Harris was in Clemson's offense he would look just like Watson if not better. Swinney lets Watson play football and use his talents to take over games. Brandon Harris could have done the same things to Alabama last year in that game had he run a similar offense, but LSU being run crazy as they are tries to pound the ball with Fournette against these people and then have Harris pass the ball when it's absolutely necessary with Alabama knowing he has to pass. People sayin Watson is much better than Harris is nuts. This kid ran the football in HS like a deer and his rocket arm is much stronger than Watson's, but he gets to LSU and they completely take him out of his game and cram all this shite down him that he knows nothing about having him look like he can't play football anymore. And then he has to take all these insults which is totally unfair to him. If this kid is at Auburn or Clemson like as I mentioned earlier he's a Heisman trophy candidate.

Our qbs aren't taught responsible football. It's a dictatorship run by Cam. He makes the checks and all the calls. He needs to put more trust in the qbs and let them actually learn the position.

This X's infinity

Agreed X's infinity!!! Finally some cats on the Rant that actually have some common sense! More of that!

The shotgun does not play to our strengths. LF is a power, downhill runner that plants and cuts upfield. Not gonna happen in spread.

BS, and show's you know nothing about football. Inside Zone is Inside Zone. Outside Zone is Outside Zone. Gap run plays are gap run plays. Getting the ball in the shotgun is actually an advantage for RB's because they actually get the ball quicker and it allows them more time to set up the blocks and have vision. Freaking idiot people like this guy.

Watson is a better runner even while wearing a knee brace. Harris's arm might be stronger but Watson's is plenty strong and can actually hit a WR in the hands. Would Harris be better in Clemson's offense than in LSU's? Probably. Would he be better than Watson? No.

BullfrickinShit! LSU's offense is lethargic and QB's die in that offense. Watson would look just as terrible! Watson passes out of a spread/shotgun type offense and is relaxed in doing so. He can run when he chooses because he is in the spread or hand it off to the RB. And then he can pass out of the same formation by already being in the shotgun.

Harris operated the same type of offense in HS and played the same as Watson. He was productive. He comes to LSU and looks like shite because they have him doing all type of shite. Rolling out and passing, running a traditional option like Miles likes to do sometimes( rolling out and keeping it or kickin it out to the RB), throwing the toss dive from a power handoff formation, lining up under center and dropping back to pass. Then they mix the spread in parts with their traditional power I formation that they run Fournette out of mostly. Are you getting all this?? In other words that would confuse the frick out of any QB and make them look bad because LSU doesn't know what the frick they wanna be on offense. Just got damn ridiculous!

Jennings looked bad before Harris and Jefferson before them, at least Lee looked fairly decent in his last season until Miles bizarrely canned him for the rest of the season because the man had a bad game against Bama. Ridiculous again! But Lee was mostly a passer so they couldn't use him in other formations or other offensive options. With him it was just line up, run your pro style and power I with him handing off mostly, and pasing when needed. But with these dual threat QB's they try to do all this crazy shite that gives them NO offensive identity, and destroys the OB's confidence. And that plays a part in disrupting a young QB's ability because by doing all this shite that they have Harris do, he's not focused on passing the ball like he should be. Passes fall short or sail high because he is thinking about all this shite they have him doing.

But he has to read shite on here about how he stinks passing the ball. Just totally unfair to that kid! Believe me if Harris operated a similar offense to Watson's where he doesn't have to think about all that other shite. Just run the spread! He would be just as effective as Watson. Putting up similar numbers, but instead he has to hear about how he's no Watson, and how Watson is a better runner and all this crap! lol

I agree with you on LF being a beast out of the spread. They wouldn't know when Harris would hand it off to him or keep it. I could see him ripping off long runs all the time.
