re: Tennessee and LSU most overhyped SEC teams of 2016

So what happened to other QBs in years past will translate to Harris? Seriously? Shall we go over the number of QBs at other programs in years past that shows no improvement is forthcoming, then say Harris has no chance?

It's always been like that. It's all about continuation. Now tell me, what has LSU lost at WR, TE, RB, OC, HC, OL that would make it not possible for a guy who has a year's worth of experience to improve? He also had an injury that he dealt with the past 5 games that hindered his progression. Harris has history on his side, plus he loses none of the pieces around him. If he doesn't improve it would actually make him an outlier.

I listed every QB who started a 2nd year in the West over the past 5 years. Showing their improvement from first year starting to second year. Every single school experienced an improvement in their 2nd year starting QB whether it was huge in one area, or improvements in several areas. The only time one didn't was when Arkansas lost their coaching staff and all their pass catchers in one year. There was also an excellent article that a guy did going back 8 years in the SEC for underclassmen QBs, and Harris fits right in line.

Like I said, Harris has everything he needs to improve, if he doesn't, it will be because of something extreme. I'm not expecting some huge increase like Mett or Prescott, but improvement in short to midrange passing (more use of his RBs and TEs as well), will go a long way in improving LSU and making us a more balanced team.

BTW, you can bookmark both posts and heckle/praise me when whatever happens, happens this year.
