If he doesn't click by the end of the first half, put Jennings back in. If he does, maybe that could provide some needed answers going forward.

Because Miles likes what Jennings brings to the table. What that is...i don't know. But the big guy likes it.

And when CLM likes something, he refuses to accept anything else. He's like a 5 year old at the Texas de Brazil, filling up on the chicken...

He needs to get the start from here on out. His upside is much higher than Jennings.

If you let Jennings start all year, it fricks you going forward and in 2015+.

i thought Jennings played well enough to win, but the Oline didnt (see goal line stand).

We know the plays Jennings made, but we dont know the plays he didnt make. Coaches will be able to look at film and find out - if there were consistently a bunch of open guys downfield that he didnt see/hit, then we left a bunch of yards on the field.

That, IMO would justify insterting Harris. Otherwise i dont see it. Jennings didnt make that many mistakes.

There was. He threw into double coverage, bounced passes to open receivers and flat out missed wide open guys.

he made a few bad passes, but also made a few incredible ones, and he didnt turn the ball over.

I still believe AJ can be a good QB. That said, if you're going to start Harris then don't just have him do the same shite that clearly isn't going to be effective against SEC opponents. That accomplishes absolutely nothing, because I don't think Harris would have fared any better in the first 2.5 quarters against MSU.

If you think that Harris is the better passer then open up the passing game for him. Don't just make a change just to do so, then simply play away from the strong parts of the new guy's game

Felt like it was 2009, 2010 & end of 2011 all over again. I thought I was finally done watching that crap but it is back and we get the rest of this year and another 2 years of it.

I heard miles speak before the season started and he was very positive about harris and said he needs to learn the offense. I think that he has always felt at some point in time talent would win out over experience. This isn't a freshman trying to beat out a senior. I think Harris will be given the opportunity to start this week.

i don't think it counts as "missed yard" when he throws the ball in the grass 5 yards in front of the wr

The miss to a wide open guy at the 10 when he threw to a double covered Dillon in the EZ cost us 4 points.

Those would have come in handy at the end, especially with two more XPs.
