Let them both play as the circumstances dictate. I mean, it's not like we're going to win games with either of them at the helm right now. So, if BH starts this Saturday and plays poorly through the first half, how is it destroying his future by starting AJ in the second half? Or vice versa?

Keep putting them out there until one guy clearly separates himself--on the basis of actual performance, not how promising his future is.

It is not the QB, it is not the QB, it is the garbage offensive philosophy.

We have talent, both of these guys are talented enough to get the ball to them if put in good situations. I don't see the need to talk poorly about either. They are young, yes. But neither are in an advantageous position to display their skills and grow.

They support each other it seems, we should support both, hopefully one will show the ability or the potential to lead the team in big situations to win big games.

miles is going to juggle qb's all year and we won't have a clear cut starter in 2015 either

Did Dupre stop and come back to make the catch? I only watched once, it looked like that is what he did. You mentioned the one completion like it was a display of great accuracy

What delusion? What exactly has Jennings done this year since Diarse went beast mode in the Wisconsin game?


Look, the fact is that neither one can succeed in LSU offensive approach. Sat. was the first time to really see what Harris could do. Not against bad competition, not in the final 3 minutes of a blowout, but from snap one of a SEC game. He just flat wasn't on target with any of his passes other than the one to Dupree (which Dupree made a nice play by coming back and going up for a ball that was a bit under thrown).

No one is saying that Jennings has set the world on fire, but I saw three passes at least that were very well thrown: 1) The seam route to Diarse for a big gain; 2) The post to Dupree that would have been a TD without PI by Auburn: 3) The deep post to Dural that set up LSU in the redzone.

I agree 100% that his completion % isn't good. But I like to look a bit deeper than the numbers. He's throwing deep ball after deep ball. It's tough to complete those. Mettenberger had a garbage completion % is first year as a starter because that's all LSU threw then. It's amazing how much more accurate a passer he became when LSU started attacking the intermediate-middle of the field a bit more in 2013

I don't understand how yall can even compare Jennings and Harris in accuracy. Going into the game one had 50% completion and the other had 73%. Harris is much more accurate, and it's really not debateable.

What do you want him to do? Keep a QB in there who's generating nothing but 3-and-out the whole game? Oh, I get it--then we get to call Miles stubborn. Right.

You're making excuses. Harris has gone down field plenty. Jennings made some terrible short throws the last few weeks.

So wait, I say Jennings throws deep balls to Dural and completes 50% of his throws and you say I'm speaking negatively about him, but you're saying Harris' completion down fiekd was luck?

I am not debating anything, I am pointing out that your example of accuracy was not accurate. Pointing out that fact has one called a retard, he heaved a prayer to Dupre, it is no different than the accuracy shown by Jennings slinging up prayers to Dural. I give credit to neither, just about any QB in America could do that.....but Jennings is pitched under the bus when he does it, and Harris is praised. Seems a tad biased.


I am on record as saying Harris is the better QB, now and has a bright future. He had a terrible

You don't get it. He's stubborn for this 3 yards and a cloud of dust garbage.

It wasn't a prayer. He put it where his guy could make a play on it. Saying it was a prayer is spin at it's finest.

In case the train has really passed you by, we are way, way the frick beyond a QB controversy.

The sad part is, we probably do have a QB controversy but it's an odd one in that we now have to compare who may be the worst at this point. Discussing "good" really isn't in the equation
