Miles will play the guy that gives LSU the best chance to win the SEC. Why are we still talking about a true freshman QB?
Yes he's the best to come out of LA for quite awhile, but he's still young and unproven.
I like Harris and think he will be very good but who knows. I thought RG III was going to be great.

Do you see it more as Les favoring Jennings
its obviously this because we all know the best quarterback is the one on the bench

you should probably stick to the Poli Board because you clearly do not know what the hell you're talking about

To everyone thinking that AJ wont be the starter if Les is still here... have you not paid attention to the loyalty issues over the last, i dunno, decade?
Not really. Unless you think Flynn should have started over Jmarc or that RP should have started over Flynn. Or that JJ should have started over Lee in 08. I don't think anyone thought Lee should have started in 09. And I guess if you thought Jennings should have started over Mett.
Haha after the Ole Miss loss, few fans on here were calling for Jennings to start.
So yeah if you fall into that category of idiots, then I guess Les does have loyalty issues.
But in reality you can only make that claim for part of 2010 and part of 2011. So maybe a whole seasons worth of games in 10 years.

Do you realize how long it takes to develop QBs to start in the SEC?
Blake Sims (QBR 161.9) says hi (and with a brand new OC)
So do
Treon Harris QBR 142.4
Kyle Allen QBR 133.7
Not to mention Manziel two years ago.

Harris? I think he should've started every game from auburn on. I dont really care about missing out on a meaningless bowl if it helps the future but im not the coach so.
Wrap your head around this one. AU just fired their d.c. because their defense was bad. So bad it cost them 3 out of last 4 games and 4 out of 6. However, Harris could not get a first down on that defense. think about that.

my mom could be starting at QB and this board would be absolutely spastic with anger if we didn't win 6 games

Exactly!! He is the future for us so why not already get him reps this year. I think if he doesn't play next year he may transfer. Could u imagine if he transferred to Alabama and started and was amazing?? We would all be pissed.

I'll probably get flamed for this, but I predict if Harris doesn't come out of spring practice as the starter, or at least with a real chance of being the starter after fall camp, he'll transfer.
And I wouldn't blame him one bit.

Blake Sims is a 5th year senior, and has been alive for at least 15% longer than either one of our QBs. His new system was run heavy and involved throwing 10 screen passes a game to the best WR in the country. Why is this example being used?
Harris is nothing special, lost 2 games as a starter. Would you really rather him over either our guys?
Kyle Allen was the most college ready QB in the country this year (and I would argue he was the best QB prospect in at least 4 years).
Manziel was not a developed QB either, I will not listen to anyone that thinks his effectiveness was due to coaching.
So yeah all of your examples are terrible.

No way in hell Harris can't turn and hand the ball of 90% of the time and get a few throws to learn
First of all, he showed he was not capable of doing just that in his only start.
Second of all, if you think that is all that goes into playing QB at a major program, with a former NFL coach as your position coach, then maybe you should just stick to the bud lights in the lazy boy and pass on the commentary.

I think I agree with your post. If, as the board seems to put it, that BH is dumb as a brick, then one would be lead to believe that we need a QB who is intelligent... If only there was some way of measuring one's intelligence to determine how one might perform academically in an instituition of higher learning. ...
Alternately, if intelligence =/= athleticism, and we need an athlete, then we must dumb down the offense to a system our QB's can run.
I say all of this with the disclaimer that I don't know the ACT scores or grades of ANY of the players. They may all have 31's and 4.0 GPA's for all I know... I wish both young men well, but I really question the evaluation/developmentation/implementation of our QB's and our Offense. Whoever/Whatever is the problem, really must be fixed.

You're missing my point - which is that it's not rare for inexperienced QBs to start in the SEC.
And for the love of god, please stop with the "Blake Sims is a senior" argument. The guy had no real experience at QB and had a brand new OC this year. He was very green to start this season.

Then why did the coaches start Harris at Auburn, early in the season? They must've thought he was intelligent enough and had enough of a grasp of the playbook. If not, then it was a horrendously risky decision by our coaching staff to start the kid.
And football IQ isn't the same as academic IQ. Sure, being a smart kid probably helps to understand some athletic concepts better, but I don't think it's very important.
History is full of elite QBs who are as dumb as a box of rocks. Vince Young was a moron, but was a phenomenal player.

Choctaw, can your mama play QB? Maybe we need her now.

This. The problem is as much with the staff as it is with the players. Perhaps they need to change the way they evaluate recruits at the QB position.

Saying you want watch LSU if Harris doesn't start is like saying you won't breath if the air isn't right.
You come of as a douchebag.
If you were that great a a coach wouldn't you be coaching somewhere?
Do us a favor and stop posting. That would show the coaching staff you mean business stupid.

If he can't beat out AJ he should transfer to a tech school and begin his second career in wood working.
