Do those gifs show Harris making a quick decision?

so do you think we will see Harris Saturday?

Who knows what the offense looks like. But based off what Harris has shown this year, I wouldn't play him. There is literally no reason to. He hasn't looked good at all.

You implied Harris cannot make the throws Etling can make. Etling is not as good as you think he is. To say Etling is miles ahead of Harris is crazy. The same mistakes Harris makes or have made Etling has made in 3 games.

I just favor Etling because he seems to understand what's going on with the defense and is capable of making adjustments. No panic. I really think that kind of quarterback can take us far if we shore up the play calling and protection. He deserves more than a couple of games to find his way in my opinion. We have plenty of big time playmakers to actually win the games. Just don't let the QB lose it.

No, I implied that Harris would never have made the decision to throw the ball where Etling did.

I only think he is better than Harris, and he is that.

Except for their play on the field.

No, just no. They play completely differently.

I know.
But the potential for Harris is and will always be there.
I think he issues are all mental and confidence. Maybe O can fix those.

Etling isn't much better than Harris if at all

How the frick would O fix the obvious, glaring, and huge accuracy issues.
He wasn't just missing ... he was missing by "miles."

Yes. Harris doesn't have it.

Don't care. He couldn't bring it on gameday. HE can't make simple passes in game.

Maybe.

Unless Etling gets really hurt, no. Harris had his chances. Let Brandon help, in limited role. Like Les did with Jefferson, until ...... Let's see what Ed does. Heck, put McMillan or Scott in . Or make LF 7 sit down longer if fumbling, missing blocks, dropping passes when he is not 100%.Jeez I will not talk about receivers. Hmmmm.

very debatable. stats will tell you that much.

He beat jax st and MsSt and lost to Auburn.

They may play completely different but the mistakes are the same and the results are the same. Everything people give Harris shite for they are willing to give Etling a pass for.

Who surfaced that idea?

I'm pretty confident Harris could have put together 15/27 for 118 and 1 TD and a fumble
I have no idea how people are acting like Etling has completely solidified his starting role.

I mean deep down we know why. It's just funny to see them make up all these bullshite abstract reasons as to why they think Etling is the clear cut winner.

I was actually gonna start this thread. Glad it was you and not me though.
I just think our OL exposes some of Etling's athletic weaknesses. He's got moxie, is a leader, and seems like a gamer. But he's not physically capable of playing as well as Harris when he's playing loose like he did against MSU and whoever state in '14 and a handful of games last year.
In the few times I saw Harris on tv Saturday, he seemed to be very engaged and supportive. It's understandable he was upset after losing his job a couple of weeks ago. I'll give him a pass. If he can have fun playing QB again, I'm not ready to write him off. Not saying he should start, just saying Etling is not good enough to completely discard Harris. Either way,

I have no idea how people are acting like Harris did not have a chance, was the starter, and then lost it for good reasons.

Harris does nothing right...nothing...etling misses a throw here and there, but is much more accurate, and is in control of the offense and can actually go through his progressions. This is not even debatable.
It's actually quite debatable. I warned last week about two things with Etling. First, I said he needed to be smart about his scrambles and stop taking so many unnecessary hits. That reared it's head Saturday. The other concern I had was that he might be too eager to check the ball down and our offensive scheme requires us to take some deep shots to soften things up in the run and passing game. 15 completions for 118 yards later that too proved to be a legitimate concern. Less than 8 yards per completion and 4.4 yards per attempt is an issue.
His pocket presence is better than Harris and he's made some nice plays, but he doesn't throw the deep ball very well at all and for all his superior accuracy he's got a marginally better completion percentage than Harris.

He lost 41-7 against Auburn and was a huge embarrassment in his first start. WTH !!!!!!!!

It's an agenda driven idea to have qb controversies on this site.
DE has done nothing to deserve being benched.
It's same couple posters starting this crap.
Fact is if Harris would have come out vs jack state and produced the same exact stats and plays as DE has since he took over, nobody would be calling for him to be replaced.
That's a fact.
