Jennings is a good kid, and I truly believe he genuinely gives his all and puts the team first. However, his talent level just isn't Natty contender QB.
If he is the starter, we wont be close to the playoff hunt.

1,611 yards with 11 touchdowns against seven interceptions while completing just 48.9 percent of his passes.
This just isn't good enough to win 11-12 games in the regular season.
i agree....if he has those same stats. i'm hoping that whoever starts this season is much improved. And the wide receivers do a little better job of catching the ball.

Miles pulls this stunt year after year yet the fans have a zombie like worship for him. I hope I'm wrong but this season is just setting up to be another letdown.
Get your tickets now for another meaningless bowl game!

It's 4-7. What "truly amazing" situation does LSU find itself in 5 months before the season starts?
What's amazing to me is how some seem to love "the sky is falling" approach to football even before Spring practice is over.

The two have continued to compete in spring practice, but Jennings is expected to hold onto his role.

There is no excuse for LSU to be in this position, none!
There is no chance that LSU would have solved this QB issue by this point (midway through spring).
It's not a reasonable expectation. It takes time and continuous improvement that will extend into next season at least. You can't fix a QB problem between January 1 and March 15th.

We're all set at QB
It's been 3 mons since the bowl game. We have had bout 3 wks of spring practice. We have 5 mons before we play a game. I don't know and neither does anyone else what our QB situation might be now or what it might be in 5 mons. QBs in a program have been known to improve. QBs going from yr. one to yr. 2 have been known to get better. QBs going from their 1st yr as a starter to a 2nd yr. have been known to get better.
This rush to write our guys off or to think we "known" before a snap of the SG or the start of the season what to expect from one or the other is simply silly and not very supportive, but each to our own.

I think what he is trying to say is that you'd have to be a fricking idiot to expect the QB situation to be resolved by this point in the Spring given where we were last year at QB.
Now, one of you expects that. The other realizes that is not reasonable. I'll let you figure out who is who.

I'll never understand how QB development and common sense continues to elude this program.

I'll never understand why people whine about one thing when the problem is another. If you wanna criticize Miles for poor QB recruiting/talent evaluation, go right ahead. It's warranted. But to say he is starting Jennings just because he likes the kid is false. What if, just what if all the reports are accurate and Harris hasn't played worth a damn? If Harris hasn't been good, which most reports say outside of a few explosive plays he hasn't been, why should Miles start him?
I mean it's not like reports are coming out of spring saying Harris has been great with footwork and timing. His throws are accurate and hard. Everything I've read is that Harris still isn't ready.

I don't know what's going to happen. But we saw Les go with JJ when Lee had more experience as a starter in 2009.

Ok, first Im a Miles guy, throw rocks if you want. However, he is being a hypocrite about the apparent reason to start Jennings over Harris.
Miles hates turnovers. He will gladly sacrifice explosive plays and production if it means that he can guarantee to retain possession and wear out the other defense. I fully understand and support his position.
BUT
Jennings has proven that he can and will turn it over in big game situations. I could not believe Miles started Jennings after the OM game, where Jennings throws back to back picks in the 4th qtr. Amazingly, we somehow win that game.
I love Miles and somewhat understand the madness behind his ways, but it is absolute fact that Jennings is no more secure with the football than Harris.

The problem with this is that is speculation. We all know for a fact Jennings hasn't played worth a damn.

Warning TL;DR
LSU is one of the few schools where average QB play can get them in the National title game. The offense will run through Fournette and the rest of the talented backs, and the defense will be better because of the front 7's improvement, experience, and more playmakers.
I'm not going to sit here and say that after a full year of game tape to learn and go over, that this guy can't improve. After all, people dont just stop developing after their sophomore year. Jennings played in 2013, what amounted to a drive against Arky, and a bowl game. He was pretty much a redshirt freshman last year getting his first real taste of the SEC. Anybody giving up on that, is a moron. There is so much he can learn from that season
To add, I have yet to LSU have two consecutive bad years at QB since Miles has been here, so shite will get fixed.
I've previously said this before, but 2200 yards and 18 TDs are not something that he can't accomplish in a 12 game season. We have the WRs, and TEs, and RBs with immense talent and now experience. We have an OL that isn't worried about learning a new blocking scheme, and has 3 experienced players on it. All he has to do is distribute the ball and make good decisions. The RBs will take care of the dirty work.
I'm not saying we could be playoff bound this year, but 10-11 wins is not out of the question with Jennings at the helm. Then in 2016 as a senior with 2 years of starts plus all the other experienced and extremely talented players LSU will have, LSU will be a waking giant.
Just won't give up on him that easily. Just won't do it.

I'm saying its incredible that LSU continues to find itself in a QB predicament. Anyone who would argue that, especially on behalf of another poster, is a total fricking moron.
