re: Jennings seems to have Clutch factor

Give it one more game before declaring.

I find this to be a rather remarkably stupid thing to say. It's fine if you are excited about aspects of Jennings' game, but no need to make false slights on our previous Qb's. I saw Jarrett Lee make numerous late game drives. I recall Mett playing fantastic in many late game situations.
It's a great sign that Jennings has shown composure in tough spots, but it's nonsense to slight those guys before him for not.

He's definitely developing a legacy for himself. The 99 yard drive against Ark. was one of the best clutch drives of all-time and the comeback against Wisc. was the VERY BEST 2nd half deficit comeback of all-time against ranked opponent. I would say he is developing into Mr. Clutch. Good start to his career.

I agree. I think making him play so "not to lose"
Doesn't help his development as much as it would if he got to run more of the full passing game throughout the game.

I agree with this. After the Arky game, I thought maybe we have that QB we've ben missing lately; that guy who's a winner regardless of talent level. Like josh336 I'm not sure yet, but I'm getting more and more confidant.
As to the OP saying this year plus two more, I don't think so. This will be our only year with AJ as a full time starter. He might alternate next year, but Harris is going to take over at some point. The signs just point to the fact that the coaches are sold on Harris.

How about his perfectly thrown pass to the tight end over the defender?
How about the pass to Landry?
How about his 21 yard scramble?
How stupid.

Not me. JL certainly could not handle pressure. I'm not going to entertain arguments about that, because it would be like arguing if water is wet. Mett played well in a clutch ending against Bama at Tiger stadium. We lost, but to the extent it was the offenses fault, it would have to be on the running game or play calling. Mett was driving us with the clock winding down and LSU in the lead. We just stopped throwing.
But I would weigh that success against his epic failure against Clemson, and his failure to generate a winning drive against Georgia. He was a tough kid who would take a hit, but the "it" factor? No, he didn't have "it".

long way to go. needs better pocket awareness, ability to go through progressions, and work on short to midrange accuracy and quicker release.

I hope so

Maybe not every game, but he did OK here...

Actually, yes, to some degree. Landry and Jennings sold the short pass fake and the DB's dropped Dural. Also I don't remember Dural taking the ball with him on that route. AJ still had to throw him a strike...

No but AJ had the accuracy to make the throw and the vision to see Dural coming open. How many times did we see RR running open on a route but JJ couldn't/didn't see him. I give AJ credit on his vision and accuracy

Jennings played good in the 4th. quarter, but I going to wait until we get in SEC play. Some of u have written Harris & the new freshman RB off already. Let the season progress & see how they play!

no but it caused him to find the open guy and deliver the ball for win.
give me a winner at QB that can look good doing some things now and will develop the other stuff as the season goes on.
We best ride for AJ cause our backup isn't ready boys.

Maybe not every game, but he did OK here...

I hope we get away from the mindset of being so conservative early on. Throw a few passes, get some yards, keep the defense from crowding the box, then do what you want for the rest of the game.
I think if we stopped relying so heavily on our run game and made him a significant part of our offense, then he would flourish. However, in a limited role, he can't get in a rhythm.

JL was kinda hit and miss on that, some games like UF and UT and Auburn, he was clutch. JJ and Mett would pretty much lose any close games we had.
Some people just have it.

He doesn't seem like he's 6'2 he looks so much shorter on the field weird
That's because all our lineman are 6'6 and 6'7.

Yeah,Florida 2010 was clutch. However, a partially failed drive was bailed out by that remarkable fake field goal.
Thanks for posting that link. I cried.
