this is what he said
That is not all that he said.
First of all, he said they are "pretty good":
quote:And he talked about making better decisions throughout the interview:
I think my decision-making in all of those passes is pretty good. I just have to put the ball right in the receivers’ face to make it an easy catch for those guys.
quote:
We know how to throw the football here. Just the quarterbacks making better decisions with the football, wide receivers coming into their own.
quote:
It may be a little low here, a little high there, but decisions … continue to make better decisions each and every week going from the first week not being so good in decision-making up to this last week making better decisions with the football.
quote:Jennings clearly says that some of his decision-making was NOT good. He clearly says that it needs to get better. He clearly says that one of the BIG things he needs to improve is his decision-making.
Big thing I have to improve on. Decision making, getting everybody on the same page.
You read what you want to read.
You spin what you want to spin.
GFY.

It's just tiresome to see you continue to spin on Jennings.
Oh and GFY.
[I typed that very calmly while I chuckled.]

he does say he needs to get better. that's fine. but to say that ALL of his passes were good decisions? I mean, come on man.
Really reaching here, man. He's contrite and admits his failures throughout the interview. We know very well you don't want Jennings sniffing the field anymore (nor did you ever). We get it. Pretty sure every rational human wants to see more of Harris as well. You don't have to keep pulling stuff out of your arse to put Jennings down. He and everyone else knows he's consistently under-performed.

Stop the spinning of over analyzing every word out of his mouth to manipulate what added criticisms you can spew on this young man.
I actually thought he manned up quite well in this interview. Good balance of recognizing he HAS to IMPROVE, yet keeping a positive frame of mind. I for one am impressed by the level of maturity he showed.
Now if he does not improve, coach Cam and Miles need to go to Harris. That simple.

not trying to put him down. I honestly feel bad for him. I think he's a good kid. I just don't know if he's going to ever be a top SEC QB.

It just came off as weird with him saying that ALL of his passes are good decisions... that's all i'm saying.
no, I don't expect him to suck, but I kind of expected him to say something like "I need to do better at throwing a more accurate pass to my receivers" or something to that effect. not "all of my passes are good decisions". seemed very "jordanesque" to me
Geez dude, it wasn't a written statement.
The overall message he had was that he has to execute better, and has held the offense up because his lack of execution. He literally said he has to be more accurate.
Honest question, would you not agree that his main problem is execution, rather than decision making? Lots of his misses are throwaways, and has been sacked a lot less in the past 4 games.

I definitely have my doubts as well. I just don't understand why you need to manipulate his words to make him seem like he's delusional or doesn't understand that he has limitations and needs to perform better.

wasn't trying to. I read the whole article. it was that one line that made me cringe a bit. maybe i'm reading too much into it.

I think his main problem is that he appears (I don't know for a fact) to lock onto his 1st read.
his decision making has been good for the most part. it was good enough to win the bama game had his receivers not dropped so many damn balls... I remember thinking in the stadium "well... that's not on jennings... that one isn't either... or that one..."

Sorry, but I see very little chance that Harris ever gets a shot.

I'm ready for him/the coaches/and everyone else to quit making excuses and talking about what he can and cant do.....and either fix this shite or get someone else in there who can do better...whoever that's gonna be down the line.

Read entire interview.
Find one line that troubles your little heart.
Misquote it to make Jennings look bad.
Don't mention any of the other lines that put that one line into context and make Jennings look good.
Draw unfair comparison to Jefferson based on misquote.
Gosh, what were you trying to do?

People are way too hard on him for this. He rarely has more than 3 options, and he is a college sophomore. Tons of qbs have the same problem, and even the very best get burned for it at times.
I just don't know how anyone can criticize him for what he said in this interview. Sounded to me like a very fair assessment of his performance. I mean he straight up said if he would have executed better in games we lost, we would have won them.

I really hope your wrong about this....because I still believe this kid has "it."

The kid was likely our best option this year and has navigated it pretty well. We only had 2 options, with the other one being a true freshmen that was and still is a very raw talent. I mean shite do any of you follow recruiting? Harris was always going to be a super raw talent, and showed his boom/bust play consistently...just in the under armour game he made some of the best and worst qb plays of the game. If he listens to Can and works his butt off, he may be one of the best we have ever had, but that doesn't happen just being thrown into the game.
I feel bad for the kid that everyone seems to be so hard on him, when our options are so limited.

Just as soon as Harris shows that he gives LSU the best opportunity for victory, he will be the starter.
Miles always starts the QB who gives LSU the best chance for victory, and I have zero reason to think that Cameron would do anything but champion the QB who gives LSU the best chance for victory.
