Could the Thursday Announcement Mean Harris Is the Starter?

I know that both will play, but if Jennings is the starter, why not just announce it? What surprise do you gain? But, if Harris is the starter, I see the benefit of waiting till 2 days before the game to keep the pressure down this week in the build up.

I still think that the starter will be Jennings just because of the pressure of opening a game with a true freshman QB would be hard and why disrespect Jennings that way if you plan to play him anyway. Just trying to figure out the angle on the Thursday announcement.

Like the typical Ranter, you are over-thinking the situation and trying way to hard. Take a deep breath. It will be ok.

As long as Les and co. know who the starter is, I don't really give a shite if they announce it before the game or not.

I like Miles strategy keeping it close. Making the guys compete until the end under constant pressure. If you can handle that pressure you are more likely to handle game pressure which comes with the QB territory.

Plus definitely it is good pre season hype from a marketing stand point.

I have a feeling that the players already know who is going to start.

I think it's beneficial to wait until right before the game to announce, whoever the starter may be.
Jackass.

It shocks me that people still worry about starters even after they are announced on a team that announced the same guy as a starter at two positions in 2007 and a coach who has routinely had "a want" to get a guy into a game and not gotten that guy into the game. You can't predict it because Les is crazy like a fox and paranoid. You'll have to wait until Saturday like the rest of us.

Miles Brah...He probably doesn't know, yet. At least we ain't up against a 2 minute warning on the announcement.

Its gonna be throwback Thursday...we getting number 9 back.

the money I would pay to see the reaction.

I mean shite, we don't even have a QB and we got people picking a favorite, most have never seen Harris play and are all about him. Unless he starts of course!!!

Jennings is going to get the first snap, barring injury between now and then.

Jennings will get the first snap. Who knows how/if they plan to rotate.
