I want to see more of Harris because Jennings can't throw the football!!! He's great at handoffs and protecting the football, but leave a lot to be desired when actually throwing it to our weapons.

Folks can try to make excuses and point to the "W's", but it is clear that Jennings is not SEC QB material. He is not getting any better. He will hit a nice long throw once a game, but can't consistently throw to open targets.

I see him as marginally better than JJ. Hopefully, he improves......but I ain't holding my breath.

most people that want to see Harris this year are just afraid that if he doesn't, Miles will not ever make the change

they are scared of the JJ/JL situation happening again

EVERYTHING in Miles history indicates he will dig in an justify his first selection NO MATTER WHAT. Every game that passes by gives Miles more rationale to start and play AJ based on the accumulation of experience he is getting and Harris is not. It is a self-fulfilling justification. AJ = JJ. Miles loved JJ. End of story. We underachieve on offense against all real SEC contending teams. UK and UF are NOT SEC contending teams, but Miles will choose to ignore that fact.

Like Russell over Flynn and Flynn over Perrilloux? Or Mett over Rivers? I see what you're saying...

If Harris is supposed to be great, why does it really matter if he plays again this year?

No offense, but I stopped right here.

He needs meaningful snaps. How do we know? We've seen him play without meaningful snaps.

I don't even think he is marginally better than Lee. He' not better than either one of them at this point. We had an undefeated season with those two until the NC game. Either one of those two in there senior season were better than Jennings or Harris are right now.
