Whether he has a 6' or 6" vertical, if Jennings could ever throw a pass on target, he wouldn't have to jump.

Development??? You must be the dumbest LSU fan in the world. Cam added some end arounds to the game plan and a couple of read options that isn't a more balanced offense and AJ doesn't have the skill set.

OP reading this post has now made all of us lose brain cells. Please never post again and may God have mercy on your soul.

And both were much better in 2011.
Lee only got better on his own. He saw literally no playing time in '09, and came off the bench in '10 to salvage 3 games. All the while JJ continued getting the reps with the 1s, and starting every game. JL had all of 2 weeks practice, to prepare for '11
Translation: the talent was always there, Les didnt know how to use it
As for JJ; Here are his 1st two starts as a true freshman, and his last two starts as a senior (and both years included bowl games)
2008
Arky 9-21-0 42.9% 143 yds 2 tds 131.49 rat
Ga Tech 16-25-0 64.0% 142 yds 1 td 124.91 rat
2011
Georgia 5-13-0 38.5% 30 yds 1 td 83.23 rat
Alabama 11-17-1 64.7% 53 yds 0 td 79.13 rat
That in no way, shape, or form is remotely called improvement

The guy is as inaccurate as any college QB I have ever seen. If he were playing darts in a bar, half the patrons would have the darts sticking out their arse.
I would be more than happy to be proved wrong, but he will be the one to do it, not all these comparative statistics which mean nothing.

So what did Lee do from Sunday until Friday? XBOX?

Yeah, the SEC Championship and National Championship are comparable to a couple of teams who combined to go 14-11.

He did exactly what Harris has been doing. Has that helped Harris improve enough to start?

Dear God dude, he was a freshman playing in his first two starts, vs. being a senior with 30+ starts under his belt
You can go back to any SEC championship game, followed by the BCS game and you will not see QB numbers by anyone that pathetic, despite their year in school
So just stahp!! JJ and AJ do not have the skill set to improve in Miles' scaled back version of an offense. It AINT happening!

Jennings will probably be as good as he was in 2014.

Jesus Christ guy. I'm considered a positiger on here, but you are embarrassing not only yourself but other positigers. I admire the confidence in our players, we should have more of that from the fanbase. However, I cringe at you trying to compare AJ to other QB's and talking about improvement. If he is our QB next year, hopefully he can improve, substantially....however, there is nothing so far that indicates that will happen. He started the year throwing 10 feet over a rec's head on a 10 yard swing....and he did the same to end the year and everywhere in between. That is certainly cause for concern. Me thinks you are majorly trolling (Hopefully).

He hasn't had an honest shot?

Yes and no. Jennings has a lot of game experience and SEC experience at this point., but when he started the season, he had only one year in the program and his WRs had a combined 7 career receptions, including two true freshmen. So while he had an opportunity, the majority of SEC starting QBs would stumble in the same situation.
There is no one that wants Jennings to start again over Jennings. But this situation screams Booty/Rohan to me, insomuch that as long as Jennings shows he is willing to do what it takes to hold he job, and Harris neglects to do what it takes to win the job, the less talented QB will continue to start.
I also saw this post a while back which I find to be extremely accurate and a testament that Jennings "gives us our best chance to win"

I think you need to accept the real possibility that Harris was not capable of successfully executing the running game. He wasn't able to identify the fronts and get LSU into the right running play at the line like Jennings was.
quote:
We all know what Jennings was. But, what you choose to ignore is what this team was without a running game. It was the team against Arkansas...a disaster. In other words, there was no solution. We were either going to have a QB who is limited in the psasing game but capable of executing the running game...or a QB who is an obviously talented passer who while being a very talented thrower, couldn't handle the protection calls in the passing game nor the adjustment requirements of the running game. Think back to the game prior to MSU. Everyone was bitching about us not "developing the passing game" and instead just running the ball against a clearly inferior defense. In hindsight, I think our coaching staff knew that we were going to have problems in the passing game. And, they were trying to get the running game going because we were a lot more likely to be dominant in that phase of the game (Remember that early in the season, we weren't a great running team).
If Harris doesn't put in the work he needs to do, then Jennings deserves an honest shot with 14 career starts throwing to a redshirt Jr and two true sophomores.
If Jennings starts over Harris in the first few games next year (I.e. Harris didn't challenge for the job) and continues to struggle, then we are truly screwed. That being said, Jefferson in 2010 is the only QB in 20 years to regress from one year to another.

We must have watched different games at the end of the season

Agree about young WR's not being optimal, but he had a great Oline and a great stable of running backs. Their were dropped passes (everyone has them), but many more instances of him locking on his primary while a WR/TE was running wide open in the middle of the field. He never showed improvement in progressing through his reads. This is his biggest fault as a QB, he doesn't see the field.

Absolutely. If Harris doesn't work his arse off, Jennings, if he works like he typically does, should be the starter Week 1. I'll probably cry a little, but if Harris can't get motivated after this season, with the outlook we have next season, I don't have faith we see the product we are all hoping for.

I think he gets a little better. Let's be honest, it would be hard not to. Will he be good enough to win a championship? No one knows for sure, but the smart money would be on an absolutely not. The kid tried his hardest and made no measurable improvements throughout an entire season. 4 weeks to prepare for a bowl game against a terrible D and we all saw the results. What everyone is really saying in this thread, besides hurling insults, is that our best chance to win a championship is with Harris. It will require him to realize the work ethic needed along with his superior talent level.

Jennings can be our Mauck, Flynn, Jefferson, and Lee.
Harris can be our Davey, Russell, and Mettenberger.
If Steele brings back some intensity on D, we can ride Fournette to the playoff with slightly better QB play. I, like everyone, want that to be Harris, but I get fed up with the "worst QB in 30 years... Hit his ceiling" narrative that gets tossed around so I come off as supportive of Jennings to the exclusion of Harris.
It just kills me that a guy who gives every bit of himself to the team is rewarded so.
