Is there anyone still hoping that Harris will/should be starting over Jennings?

jennings didn't look like a terrible QB for the first time in an LSU uniform, so of course the people criticizing him will decrease

wut ?

I am as pro Miles and his decision as anyone, and Jennings is and should be the starter...but Harris needs to be in the game whenever we can work him in, I know it sucks to do that to Jennings, but the upside for Harris is off the charts from a physical standpoint.

The Harris bandwagon will be overflowing if Jennings doesn't play well @ Auburn and @ Florida. I think the discussion (on the Rant at least) is far from over.

I bet that the coaches are confidant that Brandon Harris will be the starting QB next year. They are trying to bring him along as fast as possible for three reasons.

1. So next year he won't be so green
2. If Jennings gets hurt this year.
3. If we get into a game (Bama) in which we need precision passing on 15 to 20 yard outs.

No doubt Harris has already shown he has a VERY nice touch on the ball as well as a great run threat. That end zone fade to Dupre was perfect. Jennings is great with the deep ball, and seems to have a better grasp on things right now. What's more comforting is knowing that whoever starts, an injury might actually result in even better quarterback play, so from a depth standpoint, we're great.

Unlike most Rantards, I have no way of giving an informed opinion on this, but I think I some some things that explain why the coaches really like him and his potential.

Jennings should be the starter for the remainder of the season barring injury. Sprinkle some Harris in to get him reps but now's the time to get behind the starter.

I understand the competition angle, but I also don't think a QB can be at his best if he's constantly looking over his shoulder, concerned that a mistake will cost him his job. Ride with Jennings.

Jennings should certainly by the first option at this point. What should not happen, however, given both the lack of depth at QB and Jennings' indisputable inexperience, is for Harris to be relegated to mop up duty, so that he doesn't sniff a significant chance to mature until after the 2015 season. I'm willing to buy into the hype that his upside is bigger than Jennings', and that he should be given a substantial chance to develop this year (consistent with the first priority of winning games). Finally, I admit that my opinion, and submit that the opinions of the other posters here, aren't worth the electrons stimulated in posting compared with the judgments of Cameron, Miles and the rest of the coaching staff.

It's jennings' job right now no doubt. But a year from now, or even in a few weeks, it's gonna be hard to keep harris off the field.

His arm is as good as mett's and he's fast as shite. He'll be a problem once he's a SR. Legitimate dual threat QB.
