Is there anyone still hoping that Harris will/should be starting over Jennings?

I keep seeing people posting like LSU still doesn't have a QB that's separated himself and Harris and Jennings are still battling it out to be the starter.
I'm just curious as to why Jennings shouldn't be starting? All I see is low completion percentage and the Rant's favorite "he stares down his receiver." As if a QB shouldn't have a #1 WR or Mettenberger didn't do anything but throw to OBJ and Landry last year.
Is it safe to say that the backup QB will always be the most popular player on the LSU field?
....or is the minority Harris bandwagoners starting to fade? I will admit that the vocal posters pushing for Harris and not "impressed" with Jennings were few and far between this week.

I wish in a blow out Miles would allow the backup to air it out like Spurrier used to at Florida

jennings didn't look like a terrible QB for the first time in an LSU uniform, so of course the people criticizing him will decrease
wut ?

Harris looked good too... The only thing I was wrong about was saying Dural won't sniff 1,000 yards... Haha, he must have read that or something.

I am as pro Miles and his decision as anyone, and Jennings is and should be the starter...but Harris needs to be in the game whenever we can work him in, I know it sucks to do that to Jennings, but the upside for Harris is off the charts from a physical standpoint.

No. Speaking for myself of course but no. I like Jennings as our starter. Harris showed us all what he can do last night, but in the end I think Jennings should be our starter...

jennings looked good last night but didn't have some amazing game. he just didn't look terrible so people are (deservedly) happy
harris looked good last night, too. he definitely has the physical tools to be a beast

This is the rant, 3 NC's & 3 Heismans won't stop the rantards from second guessing whoever is at qb. I mean people are bitching because Jennings kept throwing touchdown passes to Dural.

The Harris bandwagon will be overflowing if Jennings doesn't play well @ Auburn and @ Florida. I think the discussion (on the Rant at least) is far from over.

The only thing I hope is that the best player starts. Jennings has been the best but I think we'll incorporate Harris too. He's too talented to be on the sidelines the whole game.

I bet that the coaches are confidant that Brandon Harris will be the starting QB next year. They are trying to bring him along as fast as possible for three reasons.
1. So next year he won't be so green
2. If Jennings gets hurt this year.
3. If we get into a game (Bama) in which we need precision passing on 15 to 20 yard outs.

no listing 2 guys as a #1 WR to stare down is just not possible

The thing that worries me most is Jennings looks to Dural too much. He will need to spread it between WR's or SEC teams will eat us alive. Other than that .. the o-line needs to scheme better for running plays.

At this point, Jennings is the better play. He's started THREE games! He needs all the reps he can get at this point, but he doesn't need to be running the ball up by 35-plus against SHS.

I have no problem with whoever plays, there is a legitimate reason for either, and Jennings has a little better arm and legs than he is given credit. We just cant afford for either of them to shite the bed.
Posted on 9/7/14 at 5:49 pm to tigerfoot
we're dealing with a true soph that barely played before this year and true frosh. they will shite the bed at some point

Good grief.
Dural ONLY has 6 catches. For ALMOST 300 YARDS. And 4TDs.
Only LSU fans think that's a problem.
I say keep throwing to him until another team stops him.

I think Jennings is the safe option but Harris has potential to be special. The nature of the QB position and the team's overall potential prevent us from throwing Harris into the deep end of the pool in game one.
It's a long season and we have two good options.
