he defintely over threw a few while on the run, but he did know when to run and when to not

I fully expected him to take off prematurely more often, but he did a good job

Does Harris have the higher upside? If so I would be fine with him starting this year to set up our every 4 year run in 2015.

I think Harris will eventually be much better than Jennings

that is just my opinion based on a small sample size though

This we can agree on. He's a very good running QB.

Man, it sure looks like it. Who knows about performing under pressure, making quick game-time decisions, etc. But the little I've seen, his motion and release is quick, strong and natural. Like I said though, Cameron's track record is as good as any out there today. Full confidence in the guy.

All I can ask ATM. I just have been busy so couldn't keep up with spring practices. Hell, I think Sunday was the first baseball game I saw since UNO and Laffy.

Oh yeah, and it's a long track record. QB coach at Meeeeshigan got Harbaugh and Grbac in NFL. NFL got Ferotte, Brees, Rivers and Flacco to pro bowl. Dude is the real deal.

Little of both. Jennings has no velocity on his throws, and they are up for grabs sometimes. Cam may be trying to take the pitching approach with him, teaching accuracy first and speed later, but you'd hope he'd be past that after a year in the system. Harris looks like a natural, the ball flies out of his hand, but he's got accuracy issues and is mostly just winging it out there.

Spot on IMO.

Accuracy is a big concern for both guys. If you watch the video from the spring game, there were quite a few "What the hell was that?" throws. Cam's got his work cut out for him.

“Until we can throw a slant, we aren't going to throw another route, I promise you,” Cameron yelled. “We’ll be the simplest -- I’ll tell you what, we’ll run 1950s football until we can do this. We’ll run one route the whole year.”


Those guys have been put on notice.

IMO, this year will have a lot of similarities to 2010.

Well, maybe starting out. But remember we found out the hard way Crowton couldn't develop a QB worth squat. I'm really optimistic that by the AU game we'll be pretty efficient. Till then, I suspect a lot of off tackle, which I think can get us by the first 5 games.

That's true about Crowton. JJ looked to of regressed that year.
I think there will be improvement shown, maybe not as much we would like. I think we will rely on the ground game for the most part, and play good defense.

Beaver you're usually good but this is retarded. Harris lit up the UAAAG practices. He was the highest rated QB everyday there. In the game he threw the ball well, just took some sacks. He hit Speedy on a deep TD
