One man spoke his opinion.

Many listened because of who that man is.

Whether you like what Terry Bradshaw had to say or not, the professional football hall of fame quarterback spoke truth in a hallway with LSU quarterback Brandon Harris.

As Bradshaw talked with Harris at the Louisiana Football Legends event in Bossier City last week, Bradshaw went on record saying Harris needed to be the starting quarterback for LSU, and didn’t hesitate in his next statement, “You’re not going to learn a lot about throwing the football at LSU. I’m sorry.”

Pow, right in the kisser. Tell us how you really feel, Terry. Ironically, the former Louisiana Tech great shared the same sentiment that LSU fans have tirelessly grown frustrated over the past few years. Somehow Anthony Jennings regressed in his sophomore year in 2014 — I think most fans would take the guy subbing for Zach Mettenberger in the 2013 Arkansas game over the man who took snaps under center a year ago in a heartbeat. And meanwhile, for whatever reason that’s been given to us (there have been several, including Harris just can’t learn the playbook), Harris has not translated at the next level.

Last year happened — Jennings was what I call a handoff-style quarterback, while Harris was the king of garbage time. With such bitter results, LSU fans welcomed the spring, but unfortunately, little to no results of progress were provided. The most media members were allowed to see, and therefore report on, were short to intermediate passing drills. Not enough to draw any sort of conclusion from. So in a sense, LSU’s spring game Saturday was sort of like a heavily hyped boxing match that drew intrigue through mystery and wonder. Questions at quarterback deserve answers, so were any answers provided during the spring game?

For the second year in a row, Harris outperformed Jennings in the spring game. With the first team, Jennings missed wide-open deep balls going against the second team defense, while Harris scrambled and tried to salvage yards while being chased by the starting defensive line. And when the two switched units? Well, that’s when Harris blew Jennings out of the water. With better protection and players like Malachi Dupre, who reeled in acrobatic touchdown catches from both quarterbacks, Harris looked comfortable, stepped up in the pocket to complete some nice throws and showed much better accuracy throwing the ball down the field.

After playing a full half, the statistics favored Harris, as he threw for 173 yards on 10-of-12 passes and two touchdowns compared to Jennings’ 169 yards on 9-of-15 passing attempts and one touchdown.

Now then, here comes another man’s opinion. Bradshaw didn’t sugarcoat, so neither will I. With D.J. Chark, Dupre and Travin Dural — three wide receivers who have size, great catching ability and blazing speed — at LSU’s disposal, you have to add the passing element to go along with the bruising running attack the Tigers love to implore. And yes, that could equate to taking chances, chances that Jennings has grown so reluctant to attempt. Heck, you saw it in his deep ball Saturday. Jennings is taught to miss long rather than short, and on several occasions, he missed wide and long. That gunslinger Harris threw into double coverage, but had enough accuracy to place it where only his man could get it. Will that translate into interceptions in the future? Absolutely, but will it also be touchdown plays in other instances? I would say more often than a turnover with his accuracy.

When you get down to it, a spring game means absolutely nothing, but to LSU fans, for the second year in a row, it’s given them a taste of what the future could be like with a viable passing attack. Sprinkle some deep, accurate passes with some ground-and-pound from Leonard Fournette and Darrel Williams. The benefits would outweigh the negative results.

But deep down, LSU fans know such an offense is but a dream, and the Tigers will continue to be a one-dimensional offense, especially if the always-careful Jennings resumes his starting role.

Bradshaw didn’t pull any punches when he gave his opinion. I wish LSU wouldn’t pull any punches in its offense in 2015.
