You've said the work can't hurt, so I don't get why you are so hung up on the Whitfield angle.
It's funny and amusing what comments will get ranters panties in a wad.

Yes. A year older and a year of experience in the system. You can't compare this year and last year.

Why are you being such a argumentative little shite?

Yes it can. He's more mature, should have a better grasp on what he needs to work on, hence the work he gets in the camp will resonate more and will have a better affect on him as compared to last year.
Take whitfield's name out of it, any extra offseason work is going to have a greater impact on Harris this year because, HOPEFULLY, he has a better understanding of his shortcomings and will be more focused.

Which is it's dumb for him to go to Whitfield in the first place since it didn't help him become the starter last year but it can't hurt.

I really don't feel like going through every one of your posts in this thread where you asked why Whitfield was going to make a difference, but I will.
I think it's best if you just left.

All I said it didn't help him last year and I will stand by that statement until you can prove that the works out did help him. So go for it. I'm all ears.

So you're essentially saying BH is helpless. If working out with the best is pointless in your opinion, what can be done for Harris?

So has anyone mentioned that Brandon just has bad QB instincts and that no amount of teaching will probably help it? He panics and starts to run when the pocket is clean and his first read isn't there. Jennings at least moves around in the pocket and keeps his eyes downfield to find Dural.

it's the chic thing to do now, doubt if running around the beach, having someone waving around a broom or a tennis racquet while you throw a football has much affect on football skills, but this is the rant so I'm probably wrong

No. Most of the people who would say something like this usually end up getting banned some way or another.

That's what we want in a QB: someone who will either take a sack or go looooooooong.

No that's not what i am saying. You are reading too much into my comments. Like you said in another post him being a year older and having been in the system longer will have a bigger affect than working with some QB guru.

I don't see why anyone would get banned for saying it. It's an observation. I watched it in the spring game. They should've taken his green jersey off to teach him about running when he shouldn't. He also tracks down one wide receiver and just chunks it up and hopes for the best. His interception thrown to Toliver and Chark's spectacular catch on a terrible throw are proof of that. On the flip side, Jennings has proven that he has the arm strength and the ball placement to get it down the field (he overthrew Dural twice) and he's gotten better at intermediate throws (his throw to Jeter).
I just don't see any amount of QB guru teaching that can help a QB who has relied on his ability to run throughout his career. Jennings isn't anywhere near the athlete Brandon is but it may help him in the long run because he knows he can't outrun anyone else on the field.
This is also why I wanted Golson to come here so badly. He may have a turnover bug and fumbling problems but he brings the best of both worlds between Jennings and Harris and they could both learn from him.
Just my two cents.

It's like you people have never seen a true freshman QB in your life.
Posted on 5/14/15 at 2:29 pm to MightyYat
Not every true freshman was as lost as BH. I'll give him slack because he was a true frosh but when you come to a school and two other QBs get run off (Rettig and Rivers) in wake of your arrival you should at least be able to be serviceable in a game.
