Please explain. I didn't see any progression throughout the season. When should we expect the light bulb to illuminate for this kid? 5 more starts?...10?...20?...his final game as a senior? It's time to move on.

Jennings played very poorly in 2014. And, I don't think his ceiling is very high. Having said that it would be a poor assumption to think that he won't get any better.

Also, Jennings' poor performance says absolutely nothing about how prepared/unprepared Harris was in 2014. Too many people assume that things would have been better in 2014 had Harris played. That's a bad assumption. The reason to play Harris in 2014 was all about 2015.

On the field production >>>>>>>> practice

Jennings wasn't getting it done whatsoever, even vs the horrific competition.

To Not allow Harris to redeem himself after a bad first start, was criminal.

Kyle Allen at atm looked shitty in his first start and he was at home vs a weak inferior team and they barely won.. But atm stuck with him and was on fire the next week.. They made their switch and stuck with their future and they are in better shape going forward. The more talented guy should eventually be on the field, especially after 3 losses.

JT Barrett at OSU as a RS Freshman had a horrific start early in the season at HOME vs a terrible VT team in which he threw 3 ints and they lost. He bounced back to have a heisman stat like season before his ultimate injury. Spare me the competition crap, the point is they got to redeem themselves. Harris never once did.

Miles has these quarterbacks so afraid to make a mistake it's like they have to walk on eggshells. They probably feel like they have to do too much when they are asked to do too little. All things equal then the more talented guy should see the field and be given the trust. We should be confident enough that if we make a mistake or turnover.. We should be confident to overcome come that and strike quickly based on talent.

Jennings accounted for 11 total TDs ALL season long. That is including the bowl game. 11! 11.. Total TDs.

Harris in very limited time accounted for 9 total TDs!! Only 2 less than a guy who played all season long.. Harris had like 3 rushing TDs where as Jennings had 0. Harris is far more effective in getting the team TDs when inside the redZone because he possesses a legit throwing and a legit rushing attack. He opened everything up for the offense, think about the time Harris lead LSU to 9 straight offensive TDs out of 10 possessions and the only non td drive ended on a Hail Mary attempt that had to take place because of the time..

Harris should have gotten playing time during the Arky shut out, especially since we kept having to settle for fgs. Harris gets us in the endzone via TD.

Harris should have absolutely played the following week vs one of the worst and softest defenses at atm. This was a golden opportunity to gain confidence and momentum. We already had 4 losses at this point! Jennings got to have his best game and fans were encouraged by the offense opening up, but even still in his best game it was still very average stats. Harris would have lit them up.

Then vs Notre Dame, a game in which ND wasn't shy to play both guys.. Harris still saw no action and we went on to lose to this pathetic team who had like 3 starters on the entire D and a team that lost 5 straight in a close game. You can blame the D, sure., but there were opportunities in that game to get touchdowns and put this game away and we stalled out. I believe Harris gets us into the endzone far more often than Jennings. Period.

This is why I do not even care when Miles makes statements like we will throw for 250 yards or whatever he said. That's not what's inportant. What's important is not having drives stall out inside the redzone and being capable of throwing and rushing for TDs. Harris is your guy here.

I'll tell you what.... Now everyone is saying Miles is an idiot for getting our most promising QB hurt when he clearly wasn't ready for this.

he did bench him.

I guess Andy Dalton is better than Drew Brees. Brian Hoyer is better than Brees too. Dont forget about Kaepernick too, hes better too. They all played better in the games they played together, right?

You dumbshit. Harris avg numbers are better than Jennings. Are Daltons better than Brees you moron?

Games where Jennings sucked arse in:

Iowa
ULM
Miss ST
New Mexico St
OM
bAMA
aRKY


Games where I guess you say he didnt suck arse but only because he didnt have a turnover, but he still threw at 50% or under and had less that 175 yards


SHSU
Auburn
Florida
UK
A&M

Decent Games

Wisky

I don't necessarily agree with the way Miles handled the QB situation, but advising Harris to transfer after his freshman year, when he was in fact allowed a start and is obviously in a legitimate position to be the guy as a true sophomore, is beyond moronic. frick that guy and good for Brandon for recognizing awful advice and showing much more character than that.

Bingo he's not ready yet.....

PS. This shite is gonna be epic if Jennings starts next year. I'd love to see him start first game just for the melt!!!

Yeah that making it all the way to the state championship game showed real poor coaching.

Bad statement. In high school it's more about superior athletes than the ability to run a offense. It is the coaches fault that they ran probably 12 plays all season, it is his coaches fault b/c he didn't have his QB learn how to run an offense and instead just relied on his superior athletic ability. It's not Brandon's fault he wasn't taught the skills to put himself in the best possible position to succeed. The coach did what he needed to do to keep his job, that's it.
Now it may also be Brandon's lack of ability to run a complicated offense on the other hand....
These kids have to be willing to learn and put in the time.

More and more you are seeing kids who run spread offenses in high school don't really pan out in the end at QB. It's all about timing and superior athletes. Works when you have superior athletes.... When the playing field is level
