re: Jennings "I don't feel like I'm in competition at all"

For those of you indignant over this statement, what evidence do you have that Harris has earned the opportunity for more reps?

Just by way of example, at this point in the season, has he shown an adequate command of the play book so that the additional reps helps not just him, but the rest of the defense?

I just get the impression Harris going thru the motions, unwilling to commit himself to the work to be taken seriously.
Which leaves us in an even bigger bind should AJ get hurt.

There's a lot of circumstantial evidence to support this, including statements from teammates and Harris himself.
We may only have one guy preparing to play, no matter how that guy performs.

Circumstantial evidence, huh? Please produce these statements you speak of. I do recall Harris stating he must work harder. Most true competitors will lay the blame on themselves and work harder to accomplish their goals rather than blame others. That does not mean they were not working hard in the first place.

Harris also stated that the Auburn game plan was great, he just played badly. We all know the game plan was terrible and did not put him in the best position to succeed. Again he placed the blame squarely on his shoulders rather than blaming others. Does that mean it was a great game plan?

I await the quotes from the teammates indicating Harris does not work hard enough or that he does not know the playbook. Please produce the circumstantial evidence you speak of. By the way, Harris did state that he knows the playbook.

Please stop making up reasons as to why Harris is not receiving playing time. No one here knows. Some mental midgets choose to ascribe negative reasons (i.e he's too lazy, too dumb, too cocky, etc.) when they don't know what the hell they are talking about.

Stop using facts and logic.

The people defending AJ's horrible year don't know how to argue against that.

That was directed to Just.

Justusm2,
Before you instinctively call out those with whom you have disagreement " mental midgets", it may be wise to make sure you know what YOU are criticizing.
"Circumstantial evidence" is a much broader concept than statements from teammates.
In fact , you cite some of the circumstantial evidence in your own reply. You then ignore it.
Some of the most obvious evidence that Harris is not ready, nor making a strong bid to be ready is the stunning failure to get any snaps despite 1) AJ's obvious in-effectiveness and 2) Harris' plainly evident physical gifts. Now you have additional evidence suggesting BH is getting very limited practice snaps. You also have Dupre making a statement to the effect that AJ is the future at QB.
Unless you are one of the Tards who believe CAm and Les WANT ineffective QB play, you should be wondering why, under these circumstances, BH can't even get under center...
Every poster in this thread raises that issue in one way or another, often, like you choosing to ignore the elephant in the room: Harris himself.
In assessing this evidence it is permissible to consider Harris' own acknowledgement that he hasn't worked hard enough.

Do you have a link to that? i'm not saying he didn't say it but I don't recall seeing it anywhere.

I am seeing that BH has more ability and is actually better, but he does not work hard enough.

Are you wanting the better player that will out produce the other guy or do you want the one who simply works the hardest?

This is what pisses me off the most. To protect a grown man in Miles for making a bumbling booger eating dumbass decision, they makeup reasons to throw a player under the bus. Go lookup threads in September and October, Beckwith was a lazy idiot who didn't and couldn't learn the playbook

When he says that there is no competition that is exactly what he means. CLM has made up his mind. When that happens, there is no competition. JJ was handed the keys to the car and his play didn't matter. So it is with Jennings. It is his job.

I hope to see BH in the bowl game. That is all I will say.

If we're losing a decent ways into the second half, and AJ's completion percentage is hovering in the upper 40's, we'll get a shot of Harris wearing a headset and the commentator's will say something like "You've got to start to wonder if we'll see that guy on the field at any point."
