The difference between Jennings and other young qbs

When you watch guys like Kaaya, Watson, and Allen (true freshmen btw) these kids make a few throws every game that make you say to yourself "yeah this kid can play at this level." I've never said this about AJ and I think there's enough of a sample size at this point.
Bruce Feldman has some interesting things on Harris in his new book. Basically portrays Harris as being entitled because of his inner circle. The Elite 11 guys didn't pick him and apparently his demeanor during the regionals rubbed some of the decision makers the wrong way. Those guys don't bat a 1,000 but it's interesting given Miles refusal to play him.

An offensive system put in place to help them be successful? As opposed to one that he is clearly uncomfortable running.

Look at Jameis Winston last year and all he did

the difference in those guys and ours is the system they play in are designed to bring them along and gradually instill confidence in their skills

If Miles has, and always will, run a pro style offense, why does he continue to recruit spread QBs?

It would be a departure from the way he has conducted himself the few times I have seen him speak to the media. Very measured, humble, and well spoken.
At the end, you still have to play the better guy at some point. If coaches never played the a-hole, Barry Bonds would have never played baseball.

That is a great question? We had pro style QB's in our program and both transferred this year. It appears to me the writing was on the wall that despite the fact that we are going to run a pro style offense, he is insistent upon having a mobile QB run that offense. It is simply mind boggling.

I don't know why he gets credit for running a pro-style offense, it's not even close. A pro style offense is what Stanford runs, not LSU. We run a 1950's we don't know about the forward pass offense.

The crazy part is miles didn't run that shite at OSU.

You put jennings in FSU's system and he still has a week fricking arm that can't make an accurate throw over 10 yards.

the long ball seems to be what he is best at so far. Sure he doesn't have a strong arm but wouldn't call it weak either. Perhaps accuracy would have come with more confidence. I'm not ready to give up on the recievers either even though they look terrible in this system as well.

I mean we also ran a shite ton out of shotgun in 2008 and 2009 under Crowton,
BUT LES MILES OFFENSE ALWAYS THE SAME EXCEPT WHEN WE WON UNDER JIMBO.

Exactly.
I have not seen Jennings do anything that makes me believe he has enough talent to be even an average QB at this level.
Harris ha shown more in his limited PT than Jennings has all year.

He can throw a really catchable long ball to a really open wide receiver.
But nothing has any zip to it, and he floats pretty much everything
He just inaccurate. Thats the long and short of it.
The receivers are young, and some of them have looked great. Jennings only throws to his first target.

Because 90% of high school teams are running some form of the spread offense now.

Where does all this bullshite come from?! Every time and I mean every time you see this kid or hear him talking it is the complete opposite of these bullshite rumors. Real recognize real there is no way someone can fake being as genuine as this kid comes across. There has never been one incident where this kid has deviated from his m.o.

Jimbo runs a modern day pro style offense. Three WRs and QB in shotgun a good portion of the game. I remember Manuel talking about how Jimbo's offense was more complicated than the Bills offense. I loved our offense last year, but it requires a good QB to run it efficiently. Unless we can get Harris in the game, we'll never play our offense to the fullest until 2017 (when guys like Franks and possibly Patterson have had a year in the system).
IMO though, all this worry will be over when Harris starts next year.
