Jennings is also first in one of those categories. Pretty impressive.

Don't need to post links to know that his completion % sits at 50% or worse almost every game. We've been saying it all year.

It's not just that it's low.

It's the absolute worst in CFB.

Mett proved that the pattern can be broken. As long as some other coaches get ahold of them before ours do, they have a shot.

Exactly. And thanks Butler CC Coach. And Mett's parents. And natural talent. And the frigid tart who got all indignant over a slap on the butt.

dont know Boxcar, they did well last year,


kind of hard not to when you have two WR's, a RB and a QB all starting in the NFL in their rookie years on the team last year. They made spectacular plays regularly but it still wasn't enough to overcome the handicaps of our offense. Ended up middle of the pack offensively and in a mid tier bowl game. In any other offense that group would have been nearly unstoppable and finished near the top,if not at the top,of the SEC in offense output.

Every game that Harris doesn't play is another nail in the coffin of the 2015 season.

I wish Gunner Kiel would have had the chest . He ranks in the top 20 in QB rating.

How many games did A.J. McCarron play in 2010?

How many games did Johnny Manziel play in 2011?

How many games did Jamies Winston play in 2012?

Do you think Saban, Jimbo and and Sumerlin knew this in the preceding season.

Regardless of what many think of Jennings he is 8-2 as a starter with victories over Wisconsin, Iowa, Ole Miss, Florida and does not have one over Alabama for many reasons that don't involve him.

Man, looking at the top 10-20 on that list, they have some pretty shitty teams with QB's that have high completion percentages. At least, teams I wouldn't trade places with. Give me the Tigers, low completion percentage and all, instead of some of those jabronis.

Jennings really isn't the problem. Any QB is going to look like shite in our offense. (mett, landry obj and Hill, that's 4 1st round talents(may not have gone early but they have proven to be.)) Short of 1st round talent. So stupid to blame Jennings. Harris is better no doubt but Jennings is solid in a different team with a different agenda

Really? Jennings lowest on the country completion percentage isn't his own problem? Despite whatever you think of the system he is still given the opportunity to make throws. The offense is based on his ability. If he made better decisions he would be given more opportunities to throw. You base the offense around your play makers not the other way around.
