re: What is the one reason why CLM did not play Harris Earlier?

I also truly believe that a lot of his hesitancy is because Miles is so scared, he has drilled into AJ's head NOT TO TURN IT OVER. This results in him playing scared.

I don't doubt that you're right, but I think this is another check in Harris' column. I really get the feeling that, in a live game situation, Harris would be the one to say to his team "Look, the conservative crap isn't working, let's take a few risks." (that's on my probably foolish assumption that the QBs are allowed to change the play at the line). I don't see Jennings ever taking charge like that. From the (admittedly extremely limited) exposure we've had to both QBs, I just don't see that same kind of fire in AJ.

Harris wants to be great. Jennings wants to be safe.
