I've lost hope that Brandon Harris will be our starting QB next year.

I keep seeing threads and post on tRant stating Brandon Harris is our future. Where is the evidence for this assumption/assertion?
Look, I see the talent disparity. It's clear as day IMO. I believe that observation is inline with tRant consensus. However, I don't see a smidgen of evidence pointing to Miles committing to BH as next year's starting QB.
Please give me hope tRant.

I'm not sure what the real issue is with Harris, but it certainly is frustrating

Looking to tRant for answers is probably not a great idea.

How can a school like OSU have Barrett step in and contribute immediately (irrespective of the opposition they have played) and yet we get a top notch QB and he cant even contribute (or get a chance to contribute). Shall we call it lack of coaching?

You seem sad. You seem hopeless. It's December 2, 2014. The 2015 season starts on September 5, 2015. Be a hopeless sad boy then if Harris isn't starting.

If Jennings wins the bowl game, he's a lock.
Bet on it.
Bet on it.

im not saying you're wrong...but what exactly makes it "clear as day"?

There is no hope.
let me tell you how this will play out over the next 8-9 months.
Late Winter: Less Miles will say both QBs are progressing nicely, and that the competition is wide open.
Spring Game: AJ will play with the #1 offense and will look significantly worse than BH playing with the 2s. Miles will say that both played extremely well and have a want to compete.
Summer: BH will be invited to QB camps and reports will be that he is lighting it up. AJ will be invited to a camp, no reports will be made by independent sources. However, Miels will say that he too is lighting it up.
Camp: Miles will continue to say the QB competition is open and that both are fighting hard as good team members with a lot of passion.
First Game: AJ will start and play the entire game, except for maybe some garbage time. MAYBE. Miles will say the opportunity didnt present itself to get BH in the game.
Rest of Season: AJ will continue to start. The reason floated will be that AJ has a whole year of experience as a starter in the SEC and thus puts LSU in a better chance to win.

He started and played poorly in the Auburn game. He clearly has physical tools to be very good.
He's gonna have another offseason with Cameron and Moffit and hopefully will work hard to perfect his craft.
Ultimately we might look back at this year and say it sharpened Harris and motivated him to become a championship QB.

so where is the evidence that Harris will NOT be our starting QB next year?
this isn't a court of law. les miles is LSU's HC and he and his staff will determine which QB starts and they are not going to go to the press and fanbase and name a starter. miles lack of open communication with the fans is frustrating but he has played it close to the vest for TEN STRAIGHT YEARS. you'd think one would know this by now.

Miles would rather win games than take lumps with a true freshman.
Honestly, could you imagine our fanbase if we had 6 or 7 losses? I don't know if that'd be any better.

It would make no sense for Miles to commit to Harris at this point. Whatever Harris was missing this year that prevented him from playing still is missing. If/when that changes, that's when it would make sense to hear Miles commit to Harris.

He will have another year in the system. The talent + knowledge will begin to overcome AJ talent+ knowledge.

well, duh. He's not going to commit to starting Harris until after Harris earns the job. Oh, another thing...He's a freaking true freshman QB. This is not the same as other positions on the field. It is quite rare for a true freshman to start at QB and succeed.

Get used to seeing Jennings play below average football for the next 2 years. It's coming Tiger fans.
