How much longer do you expect AJ to hold onto the staring job?


For as long as the coaches view him as the better of the two viable QBs.

Does he hold onto the job for the next three seasons a la Jordan Jefferson?


Jefferson "held on to the job" because the coaches viewed him as the best QB on the team--and they saw a lot more from the QBs than we did. There is nothing in the stats or otherwise in the observable universe to suggest that Lee was a better option.

The coaches don't just do this shite to piss fans off.

ETA: For the record, AJ has started 5 games. I wish he were a stud right out of the gate like Hill, but he may need a few more games to get it together. We'll see. I'd be fine with Harris being made the starter assuming he has the maturity to be a leader on and off the field. I don't see the point of pushing for it prematurely, however.

damn I wish more people on the rant had such common sense. your post is lacking in that it contains no overreaction, knee jerk calls for immediate change of schemes coaches players and whatever nor does it call anyone names. novel approach sir.

He played in nine games last year including one start. (bowl game)

He has played in seven games this year...starting six.

Is this enough experience to say his development should be complete?...No.

Is this enough experience to run the offense effectively?...Yes

It's pretty rare to see a 3-4 year starter in college these days so at some point you have decide who gives you the best option depending on what you want to achieve.

If we want to win now, we should take our chances with Jennings. If we want to win in the future (next season), we need to develop Harris by getting him quality playing time.

I'd give Jennings a little more time to step up. If that doesn't occur, I'd pull the trigger and start working to develop Harris. I just don't want to see another Jefferson episode. The excuse makers kept saying he needed more time and you see where they got us.
