We already know Harris' arm strength is elite and I showed him throwing a deep pass. I pointed out that it was hard to evaluate him as most of his passes were of the aggressive variety. Showing a bunch of deeps passes would've been boring as hell.

I even showed a quick-game throw when it really went nowhere just to show variation. I already knew I wasn't going to appease a few of you because you read that I like Jennings from high school.

But not once did I say he should start nor did he even get the benefit of having his name in the title lol. Harris got that benefit with me pointing out how his arm strength and wheels could lead the most explosive attack in the league.

Not sure how biased I could be. Hell I even left out the actual turnover he threw when some of you are wanting me to talk about a turnover Jennings almost had lol.

Was this not read?

In this particular scrimmage, it seemed as though a totally different game was called for the two QBs. It’s almost hard to effectively evaluate Harris as just about everything called for him was aggressive in nature (at least when he ran with the starters).

---

I even gave him the benefit of the doubt on not really moving the team in the quick game. I would've rather seen Harris play in the offense Jennings did and vice versa as I believe I didn't learn much.

I can say I learned that Jennings is working on his mechanics. I challenge you to show me some good mechanics, or patience, from Harris. It might not be his game but he's very effective and explosive regardless. Jennings NEEDS proper mechanics as he's not as explosive and can't improvise as well.

I'm not biased in my evaluation; never once said I don't like Harris -- because I do. But once again, I gotta bounce lol. If I miss my deadlines I'm blaming y'all and I better be provided with a place to sleep when I can't pay my rent too! haha

lol, I'm a man of the people. I respond to anyone who takes the time out to read my work. I work really hard on these so I don't mind debating with the readers, either. It's fun to me as I'm not going to take it that serious because I know how fans are.

I really like this board so not answering now, would look strange when I always answer anyway.

I appreciate ya though, Okie!

Uh dude, Harris threw an interception as he was locked-in on a target going deep...Did I even mention it? NOPE because it wasn't a part of what I was getting at.

Faith is believing without seeing, so I guess you deserve some points there. But I might as well be from Missouri - SHOW ME.

Uhhh this was a spring game study, 95. He, Jennings, did just that in the spring game. I can only evaluate what's put in front of me.

If you're from the Show Me State and he showed you that in the spring game, you may want to change your residency lol.

We will reevaluate when we're provided with more examples -- during the season.

Huh? Do you know what touch is? It's the ability to vary your throwing velocity. Hell, you'd be better off saying "why does he virtually always throw with touch?" His motion is smooth and easy. He has put some zip on the mid-range throws -- most notably one I remember to Quinn in the Florida game.

But he naturally throws with touch. Andrew Luck is like that, too. It's a reason some questioned his arm strength -- but he just throws a very smooth, catchable ball.

I can definitely dig that, Bayou Bengal...thanks for the read, too.

You're missing the whole point to that Harris sequence. It was pointing out how great his legs are that he can still get the yards without making the throws.

Bro, you're trying to get me to say Jennings was perfect when he wasn't. But his mistakes, in the spring game, weren't anything to phone home about. He was very good and showed improvement in the mechanical part of his game. There's no denying that. I can't say Harris made any improvements with his mechanics but he doesn't have to in that type of offense. He either went deep or went short...

Jennings has the mid-range throws, deep and short...It's a pick your poison-based argument. Harris can dominate by pushing the defense back by going vertical early and often and threatening them with his legs.

Jennings, while being a good deep-ball thrower, can work the mid-range, West Coast portion of the playbook and allow for yards after the catch and then hit deep balls on occasion to favorable coverage.

Not sure what the disconnect is with you. You like Harris and that's great. Aren't they both LSU QBs? I'm just a writer man, this is actually your team.

Never understood the whole let's disgrace one guy in favor of another, especially when it's not as clear as you'd like to think.

You can easily make the argument that we have the best offensive weapons in the SEC.

Port, people are going to overthink it. Harris' arm + the vertical attack + a running back who can hit home runs + a deep receiving corps full of athletes who can go get it = most explosive

It's simple. Not many teams can remotely claim that as they would be missing some of those elements. Auburn would be right there, too.

But you can't say Arkansas -- as it doesn't have receivers like that backs with that type of explosive speed and the QB doesn't have a big arm.

Georgia has the RB, but not the QB or receivers...Tennessee? Possibly but Jalen Hurd isn't that explosive...etc etc.

Don't overthink the room -- take into account the personnel that LSU has -- which I'm quite sure 100% of you are aware of as it's your team...

Oh, you aren't telling me anything I don't know from my time here since I wrote Braxton Miller article...As someone on the outside looking in, LSU is such a great program and plays football the right way and develops players for the next level.

However, it has a pocket of fans that are so self-loathing. I did an honest assessment on the offensive line talent -- which is the deepest I've studied on film -- and noticed how many didn't like that I wrote that.

It's weird, bro. But it's all good in my book, Port.

HAHA, sorry about that, bro. Bad timing on my part...

What up, people? Dropping off part 2 of that QB study many have asked me for from the spring game; hope all is well.
