He has the potential to do very well on another team. I wish he stayed and competed. Etling performed about at the same level but with none of his upside.

Great arm, great pocket presence, went through his progressions perfectly...mobile and accurate...most importantly I hear he is scared to death of any bad weather at all...great fit Florida...y'all should absolutely scoop him up and start him immediately...

Everything else he does pretty well...accuracy too being an issue.

He has a ton of talent and potential. He was forced into playing against his natural abilities, and that was a staple of Miles' failures as a coach at LSU over the past decade.

He refused to tailor the offense around his QB's talent, and instead forced them to do things against their nature.

Harris could be a great one in the right system and with an actual coach that isn't trying to be his players' buddy.

That said, I do think he got a raw deal at LSU, and hope the kid gets a chance to do well for himself.

Tons of talented, a bit of mobility. Tendency to float balls but has a pretty good deep ball. I wouldn't worry too much about the mechanics stuff

My concern is what is between his ears, not to say he isn't smart just that he lacks awareness and has a tendency to panic and make poor decisions, even looked scared at times

He was the greatest thing ever, until he wasn't - then Saban cheated and got Miles fired but then came the bestest, greatest dynamic duo coordinators ever so Alabama will get beat by ninety-hundred points.

Oh, and Saban isn't welcome at some HS because Harris went to school there and the Corn Dog nickname is just dumb, but yeah five star cuisine does come from a ditch in my front yard so eabod.

Immensely talented.. big arm, mobile enough, I feel strongly he was in the wrong system.. put him in the spread and he will dominate.. I think if he would have stayed, fought for the new OC I think he would have regained his starting role.. That was simply Orgeron telling him to move on so he wouldnt have a QB controversy in his first full year.

Not horrible but does have some issues which makes his performance vary quite spectacularly.

And Texas A&M fans told us that Trevor Knight would lead them to the playoffs/stop them from choking at the end of the season.

Brandon Harris is as fine a young man as you would want. Cam Cameron tried to make him a pro style pocket QB which proved to be a terrible decision.
He throws with better accuracy on the run than in the pocket. Has an absolute cannon of an arm, but is inconsistent with his accuracy. Seems to get erratic under pressure and has made bad decisions with his throws at times and missed many receiver that were wide open. A great kid who is coachable and well spoken, but never made transition from high school to SEC competition QB at LSU. Could be a good contributor in the right system utilizing his skill set and I wish him good success wherever he lands.

Brandon has a strong arm but has trouble reading defenses and is not accurate on routine throws. He is a decent scrambler but does not have pocket presence.

He is a good kid and he did not receive the development he needed from Les Miles or his offensive coaching staff. LSU did not use him accordingly to his strengths.
