re: What will be the Rant response if Harris plays and stinks it up?

How? It would be different if we were pulling Mett for Harris. Jennings is servicable. Are you saying that Harris can't do the exact same stuff that Jennings is doing right now?
Harris will make more plays and more mistakes than Jennings. Jennings, I think, is a better "game manager."
I think Miles knew this and thought he could count on the defense to keep the games low scoring. That's obviously not the case this season so I'd rather the play maker out there, knowing full and well he's going to make mistakes that likely cost us a game or two. Problem is, Jennings not making mistakes will also cost us a game or two... or three...

He was awful Saturday.
pure awful. He was awful against Wisky too.
What evidence do you have of his "game management" ability?

Jennings managed us all the way to 9 points through 3 & 1/2 quarters at home against State. Let's see what the more talented guy can do.

This is what I agree with. You may get a couple of 2 and 3 turnover games, and maybe a 4 turnover game, but I'd bet Harris could gain 300 total yards and 3 TDs a game alone. Even when he makes mistakes, he makes up for them.
If we are still running the same offense, I want Harris on those designed runs (Jennings is too slow). If play is covered, I want Harris to be taking off. If we are throwing screens, quick slants, etc, I want Harris to throw those. That pass where he hit Dural I think, on the rght, all the way from the opposite hash was a Mett pass.
While he may make more mistakes, in literally the same exact offense, he will be way more effective.
