    He gave us the QB that has more raw talent than AJ, this staff just doesn't know how to develop and utilize any QB.

    Etling would have done a better job with no SEC experience than Harris has with 3 . Miles for some reason want to run a Power run , Pro style offense with a QB who is better suited for a up tempo spread where all he does is read option and throw short passes . I never thought I'd say I wish I had Jarrett Lee back .

    Two problems, wrong offense scheme and Harris lacks processing capacity for decision making required in big time football.

    Les is a QB killer. He did it to Lee, JJ, AJ, and now Harris. There is no way that 4 out of his last 5 QB's are all unable to process their reads. In part some of it is the wrong scheme for their talents. Which is something that a good coach does, works their scheme around the talents of their players. Also Miles doesn't do anything to instill confidence in his QB. Some games you only get 10 passes, most of which are deep. You never get a rythym going. You know if you miss one pass that you won't get many other opportunities.

    They meaning the coaching staff just doesn't develop QB's. Brandon Harris is no better in 2016 than he was his in 2015 and that's a coaching issue.

    Anyone who watched film on Brandon Harris throwing the football from the pocket knows 3 things. He has a cannon for an arm, he throws a beautiful spiral, and he is one of the most inaccurate quarterbacks to ever play the position. How this staff thought they were going to mold this guy into a pocket passer is beyond me. Especially this staff, who would could turn Tom Brady into Marcus Randall overnight.

    Les Miles made it clear this week that Harris has just got to relax out there on the field and play within the scheme.

    That comment from Miles has zero weight with me. Not when a coach repeatedly gets out coached and has his team ill prepared for games. There is no way to spin things now, this is all on Miles.

    I do agree that Harris has to slow things down. It's not easy when you're ill prepared as a team. Plus I think Miles has shot Harris, just like he did Lee, JJ, AJ, and now Harris. Mett is the only recent QB he didn't destroy.

    Mett was already developed when he got there.
