The players support for Harris was so obvious. The line, the running backs, and the receivers were all in for Harris. It was as if the players wanted the change and the only way they could make it happen, was to do it themselves. Maybe that’s a stretch, but it sure looked that way.


I think it is a combination of three things. First, i don't buy the "Jennings practices better" line and find it insulting to Harris. It implies that Harris isn't grasping the offense, that he is not as smart as Jennings. If you saw his post game interview, the kid is obviously smart, poised and articulate. Miles is defending his decision by insulting Harris.

Second, Harris can make every throw, so the defense has to cover the whole field, which creates space for our great playmakers to perform. He also can scramble and throws extremely well on the run, which makes the O-line look better.

Third, I think that the players have been seeing this since the Spring and they probably do get pumped up when Harris is in the game because they know what he can do.

And you are insulting the players by suggesting they tank it for the Jennings.

hypothetically, in some imaginary scenario where one guy had been working on something twice as long as some other guy, is there any other explanation you can come up with to explain why the first guy might be further along? any guess at all, no matter how far fetched?

or is Miles sending subliminal messages to the fan base still the only rational answer?
