Jennings was 2/10 for about 50 yards at the half with a costly INT to give Bama a FG that ended up being a deciding factor in the game.

I think we can all agree he has been average at best all year.

Harris has a solid SHSU game, goes off against NMSU and almost lead LSU back against MSU late.

He was 3/14 with 0 INT's against Auburn in the 3rd quarter and gets yanked and is basically never seen again.

How does Jennings keep getting theses passes?

With how you present those stats, and those only, it is hard to disagree.

I'm serious too, and I refer you for your answer to Jarrett Lee.

Because the coaches who see and interact with both of the QB's every day hate LSU and its fans and are playing Jennings just to piss them off.

You're not mentioning the multiple times Harris has gone the wrong way on a handoff and had to improvise

If it weren't for women and alcohol I would be OT rich.

Don't know to what "OT" refers, but obviously you have discovered the best things in life!

And risk their fat paychecks and reputation on these decisions. It is a bold move, Copper.

Did he not start against Auburn because of what he did against NMSU? So how does that have anything to do with them seeing him everyday?

The coaches were willing to give BH a shot in September. Seems like he would have improved over the last 2 months. Makes no sense that he doesn't get to show if he has improved.

What about the times against FLA when the center snapped it off Jennings thigh or last night when he turned the wrong way on the toss?

Ask Jarret Lee and Jordan Jefferson. This is the riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma that is Lester Miles. If anyone, anyone, has a plausible explanation of this I am interested in hearing. It is as though one of the QBs is already in CLM's dog house or is the red-headed step child who, when he screws up, is done and never seen or heard from again. Some much more considered and esteemed posters on this board have begun to see this giant wart which blights other wise very good teams.

Let me say a word about 2011 which had lousy QBs as everyone knows. It had a stifling defense and playmakers on the special teams that accounted for a lot of points directly or indirectly. The offense was pure vanilla, BUT not able to plow over stiff opposition, read 'Bama, as was seen on 1/9. That year was an anomaly so far as things are concerned. Anyone thinking that that is a good way to build a championship team is delusional.

I don't see how he doesn't get a second chance after auburn. It was his first road
Start so I'm sure the pressure got to him and he struggled. Like Jennings has struggled all year, but somehow gets to keep playing. Let him start these last two games to see what he can do. If he does start next year it will be with almost zero experience and we'll be right back to where we started this year.

Don't blame him for that, receiver pushed/slipped down.

Agree with the rest.

And how many times did Jennings do this same thing you speak of last night?!? If Jennings is or future at QB, we're in deep dodo!

Do you particularly like how Harris is the one that had a "solid" game against SHSU?

No way these stats are edited and skewed to prove a point.

I am just saying that they gave him that start based on the NMSU game. I understand that practice has a big part in decision but for Jennings to continually overcome these terrible games he must look like Joe Montana in practice and Harris like Jennings in games.

Maybe so.

Jennings hasn't looked remotely as bad as Harris did in that one game.

Taunting the visiting crowd was just icing on the cake.


ETA: I do think we will see Harris get a few more snaps. If he follows through with stepping up his game it will be hard not to.
