Hence, it's a legit point to say you don't really know shite from those 3 plays.


Exactly, no one on this board knows shite about those 3 plays. For some reason, however, the staff decided that he didn't need to go back in after that. So it is a safe assumption they weren't comfortable with what happened during those plays...

And they now believe that Harris is the better QB to start because . .
4 year olds in preschool can figure that one out.

You were citing their ability to evaluate absent a goddamned knockout. I mean shite. If Saturday had been a boxing match, then Harris knocked Jennings out 2 seconds into the first round. shite man. Acting like they "figure it out" after that is retarded.

His performance in the Wisconsin game and the ULM game were poor.
His "performance" against Wisky was 3 plays.......his FIRST THREE PLAYS EVER.

Against ULM, he threw 2 f'n passes and Jennings STILL was highly mediocre against ULM.

Can you not understand that a player can get better?
Do you not understand the concept of one guy just being more talented than the other? And the reality that giving the starter reps to the lesser talented guy during the week means the more talented guy will be less prepared?

Nah. Guess not.

Not against Wisconsin, he shouldn't have. First game jitters were too much for Harris then. After that, I can see it.

Hmm. How were Jennings' first game jittters?

Maybe the guy with obviously more talent would've also settled after a half????

Correct. So why let him start in.......his FIRST GAME EVER. Why not let the QB who has been on the sideline for a season of LSU games start? Why not let the QB who has played in some LSU game start? Why not let the QB who has started in an LSU game start?

Jennings did not have the same anxiety in the Wisconsin game that Harris had. Jennings did not forget what plays were called in ULM game that Harris did.

Harris has clearly gained confidence and control of his nerves over the course of the first five games. And just a note, he hasn't had the pressure of preparing for a start or being the starter yet.

Yes, yes I do. There are talented freshmen QBs all over the country. Some of them are more talented than QBs on the same team. Nevertheless, for the first game of the season, most coaches start the less talented but more experienced QB rather than the talented true freshmen QB because the less talented but more experienced QBs give the team the better chance to win that first game.

Bama's starting probably the least talented QB on the team...
