re: What do some of you not understand about Brandon Harris??

if jennings beat out rivers and rettig that quickly how bad were those two QB's? seriously... they must be freaking AWFUL

Rettig not becoming a starter shocked me. Mett killed his career.

If Harris isn't ready then what is Jennings? At Harris' worst he's still looked better than Jennings does sometimes... Harris has the higher ceiling and more talent, there should be no reason he isn't starting.

And Harris had one bad game and is tossed out... Jennings hasn't had a good game this year at all and looked 50x worse vs NMSU than Harris did against Auburn.

so why not let him take the field and gain experience

Because Miles is paid to win football games, not to give players game time experience. So Miles will do whatever he thinks gives his team the best chance to win. Apparently he thinks Jennings give them that chance.

There really isn't anything deeper to see here, no conspiracies, no dog houses, no payoffs or filthy pictures. It has everything to do with winning.

THAT'S a 'no-brainer'.

Which we haven't done lately....so there goes your argument.

So you think any team that has lost any games doesn't want to win?

Maybe you don't understand the concept of "best chance to win".

You see that slanty word, "chance", that's called a chance because it's not a certainty. Just because one QB isn't winning games does NOT necessarily mean that if we switched QBs we would suddenly be winning.

When you grow up and get a job one day, maybe you will understand about being focused on doing what you have to to keep your job. That won't include just doing what all your friends think you should do. You see, because it's not your friends' jobs that will be on the line, it will be yours.

It wouldn't appear, at least at the current time, that Miles has the ability to focus....or see the forest for the trees for that matter.

Other than disciplinary action, I can't come up with any logical reason why Harris has not at least been worked into games

I doubt you're very successful with that kind of shortsightedness.

I can think of a myriad of reasons besides disciplinary action. You even alluded to one of them early in your post and that you can't think of it later in your post just leads me to believe you just don't want to consider it.

So then let the players play and try to win.

quote:

maybe he doesn't have the God-given talent to succeed at this position, I didn't consider it

---

And so you reject it as a logical reason?

This isn't a word game, words have meaning. If you still can't come up with even more logical reasons, I have plenty more I could share.

But for now, personally, I'm going with the reason that the coaching staff, through hours and hours of evaluation have determined that Jennings - at this point in time - gives the team the best chance to win. And considering that it's their jobs on the line and not mine, I'm going to go ahead and give them the benefit of the doubt because I think they've earned it through their record at LSU.

Has nothing to do with what I want to consider.

I think you, and probably many others on the board, have your mind made up and so it's narrowing your perspective. The obvious answer is obvious, yet you want to reject it because it doesn't fit your view. You see what you want to see. The coaches, on the other hand, have seen a HELL of a lot more, and actually have skin in the game.

Hell, the way this staff plays their hand so close to the vest, even an injury would be a logical reason at this point. Yet you want to believe it's punitive and can't see anything else - by your own admission.

Care to name them?
