Is Harris Salvageable?

Hell No. Great kid all the power to him but he is not an SEC QB, shite I don't think he could go play for ULL and do better than Jennings did yesterday.

The dude cannot handle the game, he's too emotional to handle pressure and it showed yesterday. We need someone to stay calm out there. I don't even think staying calm will help his passing. He couldn't hit the short routes in freaking practice, much less a game.

What happens when Bama gets here and they have freaking 250lb LBers staring at him fixing to rip his head off? We saw it last year... 9 fricking yards of offense in the first half.

Offense might suck, but Harris is his own problem. He had chances last year vs Arky and OM, and yesterday failed when the play calling set him up to succeed.

He's done.

Modest talent; low IQ, and now zero confidence.

if you mean pressure of actual defenders (and not psychological stuff), the OL absolutely failed him

no LSU QB would have done anything behind that line except maybe JR the God

Mett would have been TERRIBLE yesterday if given the same situations as Harris

He can't complete a pass from 15 yards away accurately. I would have thought that would be a requirement at this point. As a junior QB

I'm afraid not. During the loss-sealing pick, I felt a warm flush of sobering realization that he may not be mentally capable of performing at this level.

It pains me to type this because he seems like a great kid.

why did you pick a play where his OL completely failed him and he had to roll against his throwing motion?

He was always a raw talent who needed to improve his accuracy. He simply hasn't done that in spite of getting tons of reps and going to special camps. He probably needs to sit for a few games and settle down. Maybe by the end of the year or next season.

No way he should start for a few games.

he can if he's given the opportunity. he pegged Desean on a great pass more than 15 years from his throw

Dude that was a typical BH floater and Desean almost got destroyed if the DB was hadn't lost his feet for a split second. shite he got decleated pretty hard even then. Imagine if that was a LBer. DSmith would be out for the rest of his life, cause he would have been decapitated.

I think absolutely with the proper system and good coaching. I do believe someone like Jimbo could come over and make him a very effective QB in his system. It's not a coincidence so many QBs are mediocre as hell in CFB but still able to field competent QBs regardless if they're putting QB3 on the field. No way is our scouting for QBs consistently this bad, it has to be on the coaches shoulders especially when you consider how good LSU recruits talent in every other position. The only constant is the system Miles runs and Miles himself. That's your explanation as to why our QBs suck every year. I don't know what else it takes for anyone who supports Miles to see he has been a problem for LSU since he came here. The only difference is it was a slow developing problem that finally hit rock bottom in the NC game and stayed that way since. He's not been able to develop any QB who has sat in his system from day 1. Jamarcus, Flynn and Mettenberger were all QBs who seen significant development prior to coming to Miles getting his hands on them.

As far as this season goes, he's done. No way will he recover mentally from that game yesterday. The only thing he's going to do from this point forward is regress because he'll be trying too hard.
