For the 2 people that down voted look at what happened on the field. AJ is not the clear no.1 at qb, Harris is right with him anf if he is right with him he should start cause Jennings has had true game experience and Harris has not. And also he has had a year in the play book also he should have been lightyears ahead of Harris.

Jennings look rattled but you're an idiot to say he doesn't have a pretty ball. Guy has great throwing mechanics other than he tends to lean on his back foot when he comes out of a short drop back but the kid has a tight spiral and has touch on the ball.

He did put too much air on it at times, but what we saw with Arkansas is no joke, it was too well done to be a false impression. Rolling out, setting his feet making a good throw. He can play, just needs a little work which you have to trust Cam is doing the right thing with him. much air on it at times, but what we saw with Arkansas is no joke, it was too well done to be a false impression.

Thanks for your insight - and, for that matter - the insights of everyone else who provides us with their expert impressions about the spring game. I don't have a clue how I would have survived without knowing such valuable information. Likewise, I'm sure that you could not have survived without sharing it.

Cliff notes:
-Jennings makes OP nervous
-Harris is better pure talent but needs to develop
-some random words that explain why it's important we listen to OP and not the thousands of other people who are saying this exact thing

Why is this even a question for anyone? How can anyone have any expectations for QBs who have been in the system a few months and only about a year? The best you can hope for is development during the season. Winston or Manziel expectations are ignorant and definitely unrealistic. If we dominate on the ground we'll be okay on offense. Both these QBs will be more competent than JJ was. We went to a NC with a horrible QB situation. If defense plays at a level we expect and Fournette+the Oline is billed to be what it can, we're going to be fine with some growing pains at QB/WR.

Harris will probably at least get a ton of PT...maybe a 2 QB system. At some point this season he will start and have a bad game. The the rant will cannibalize him and want Rettig in. That's how it always goes on here. They have a new favorite QB every year and then want to feed them to the wolves the second they have a bad game. It's really funny to read.

First it was Lee, then it was JJ, then it was Mett, then it was Jennings and now it's Harris. Tomorrow it will be Ret or whatever QB we get in our recruiting class. frick all development.

It's funny how so many "scouts" here can watch the same video, yet see things completely differently. I think a lot of people went into the spring game critical of Jennings because of the bowl game performance. Thus, they were looking for the "bad" as opposed to the good. Conversely, everybody loves the new recruit who we are told is the next great thing, yet has shown nothing on the field. Those people went into the spring game watching Harris only looking for the good, and ignoring the bad.

I saw two QBs who still need a lot of work and coaching. Yet that should not be unexpected since one is a True Fr. and the other has only 1 college start. They'll both get better with time.

To me Harris looked a bit like JJ in the 2008 Peach Bowl. He had one read and if it wasn't there he tucked it an ran. That could account for the better "pocket presense" noticed by the OP. Harris climbed the pocket well a few times, but seemed to hold onto the ball a bit too long. He certainly has a good arm and quick release. He looked good throwing the crossing routes, but was wildly inconsistent on throwing passes that needed some touch. You can have the greatest arm in the world, but if you can hit your target it doesn't mean a whole lot.

Jennings was up and down as well. However, because he has been in the program for over a year and has started a game at LSU, I think the coaches gave him a little more to handle than Harris. You saw Jennings actually trying to go through some progressions (see the INT to Jones). It's much easier to be "more decisive" when you only have two choices: throw to the primary reciever or take off and run. Jennings struggled some in the pocket, but he also showed some good touch and awareness outside of the pocket. The pass to Stokes down the sideline was beautifully thrown and not easy to execute (rolling to your off-hand and floating a pass over a defender).

It's ridiculous to make definitive statements about who should or shouldn't be the starting QB after watching a glorified practice. Both QBs have ability. Both need more work. Both will improve with more practice.
