Weak. This isn't high school. He's grown.

Not drunk, not trashy. His play was that bad.

We needed to make a change, a change was made. What more needs to be said? Is it really that essential to the understanding of the situation to trash a guy who suits up in P&G and gives it his best, and doesn't deliver?

What kind of person gets satisfaction from that?

Good kid, but terrible QB. This isn't high school, this is big time college football Harris knew the pressure and expectations when he signed his scholarship.

Yes, I feel bad that he's imploded, but it happens every day in sports, business, etc where there's competition.

And Lee, Rettig, and Jefferson were also Garbage, right? Man, LSU just has such terrible luck recruiting QBs

2015 he was the 70th best QB in the nation ESPN
in passing efficiency and last week was 12/21 for 130 yards and 2 int. It was assumed he would have gotten better for apparently he did not and he looked as pedestrian as last year.

you are a moron.


Harris isn't very good, that's clear to anyone with eyes. He had his chance (more than one) and blew it. No bashing, he just isn't good for whatever reason here.


A team game huh. Yet you bash the leader of that team 24/7.

Etling isn't taking this team anywhere. Season is a waste. Harris is done at LSU. Les is done at LSU.


but don't say anything bad about the guy who can't throw a screen pass.

Year three in the Les Miles offense so it's understandable to see him struggling.

I think the second half (when we went back to the standard/conservative LSU passing attack) is very telling. It is difficult for QBs succeed in that scheme.

Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then its probably a duck. Same principle applies with BH. This is where Tader differs from bashing BH and switches to bashing Less Miles for allowing BH to be put in those sorts of situations.

1st - starting BH when you know you have another guy that can run the offense better. Backlash - BH gets bashed

2nd - leaving BH in during a very winnable game last week. Backlash - BH gets bashed

3rd - running the same damn plays with BH every single play. Backlash - BH gets bashed. Etc.


This is why I can't stand this coaching staff. It is evident that they have not put the best talent on the field out of some allegiance nonsense that I don't get. We pay Less $4.5mil a year and you'd think he could at least see that one QB has it and the other doesn't yet. Let BH learn from DE for one year and then let him compete for a starting role next year. Not that difficult.

I haven't really seen a lot of bashing of Harris, especially when you compare to JJ. He needs a break, give Etling the starts and use Harris in relief. It will take the pressure off the kid.

I feel bad for Harris but if he can't take bashing from a message board then he better get another job. Most the players in football get bashed on MB's at one time or another...college and pros. Not promoting it but that's just how it is and it's never going to change. Best of luck to him.

I'm tired of people saying "these young men". Soldiers younger than him are fighting for our freedom. If he doesn't like the fact that he chokes in situations, either change or accept the fact that you're not as physically able to do the job you want. Nothing wrong in that, everyone can't be a star.

I felt bad for Harris when they pulled him. I don't think the coaches put him in a position to succeed with their play calling.

Etling played great for a quarter, but I'm not getting my hopes up yet.

This would make complete sense if I'd said ANYTHING about how good A QB Harris is.

For a bunch of guys who hate any and all critique of the coach, y'all are sure happy about it with players
