Miles just doesn't trust his QB

Cameron may not even exist as a coach, has anyone checked to see if his headset is connected...?

ETA: Les has an understanding of what Brandon can and cannot do in that offense. He still should find plays that highlight Brandon's strengths. Our QBs didn't get a scholarship b/c they were good at throwing darts. They guys have skills, if we ask them to do what they are most comfortable doing.

He will pass when he trusts his QB and will play ultra-stupid conservative when he doesn't. The problem is he needs an NFL QB before he trusts them enough to let them pass (JR, MF, & and Mett are the only ones he's trusted in 12 years).

So he needs to recruit and develop QBs better to gain trust, or he needs to run an offense that doesn't rely on passing. He obviously chose the latter.

Well Harris still struggles with reading defenses.
It's obvious.
He locks on to Dupre for some reason when Dural was Jennings target and is better.

In game vs bama in tiger stadium when mett was QB few years back it was 3rd and 3 with about 1 minute and half left. Met had hit 8 or 10 in a row. Bama put 10 in the box, guys on radio were screaming any pass world be wide open. We ran an off tackle got 2 yards missed a FG and then loss. As soon as the ball was handed off I am screaming (I gave a shite then) we are going to fricking lose.

So do u think he really trusted Mett?

I don't trust him either.

Problem is, Les has been able to rely some great O lines and backs.

I'm afraid we don't have the o line necessary this year, and stubbornness now will be disastrous.

I am not sure you can say that considering we threw it 5 out of 6 times in that last drive when all we needed was a FG to win. We got the ball with just under 3 minutes left and a TO and only needed to go 55 yards to have a decent attempt at a FG.

Also, we were in FG range w a TO and just under a minute left when the ball was snapped on that last play. If he didn't trust his QB, he would have gone conservative and ran it 3 straight times to try to improve the distance and force Wisc to waste all 3 TOs.

#1 thing a qb has to be is accurate. Miles has not had many accurate ones. Therefore he doesn't trust them.

If Harris could place his throws better, the passing game would at least be more competent.

The issue with much of the passing game is it features 2 receivers running very basic routes. This requires a very accurate QB, Aaron Rogers type accuracy, because receivers aren't going to be very open.

Three plays that show what the offense should be doing in the passing game are the wheel route to Fournette, the completion to Smith and the double move by Dural. Each of these were designed to create open receivers, giving the QB a little room not to have to make a dead perfect throw. Wisconsin was very effective with this, Fumagalli was open all day.

Well if we could just coach them up, that would be great. We've recruited every style QB with the same results.

Mett had a good run, but who wouldn't when you had OBJ and Landry with Hill. We still couldn't win with them.

OBJ and Landry made Mett look better than he was, but he was also groomed by Richt before transferring.

U guys realized that both QBs last night were with their coaches respectfully less than half as long as Brandon Harris has been at LSU. Jimbo takes a true freshman and fixes him at halftime, and freeze has a guy for 2 years.
