I hope he stays engaged and keeps his head up. I would love for this kid to stay here and finish his career here. He is better than he has played the last few games. We probably will need him this season again (Harris needs to slide btw). He seems like a good kid and nobody should bash him just because another player is better.

Great post. It's a long career and lots can change... That said, he'll probably start next week anyway.

Seriously, dude. He had 3 turnovers in his first 4 series against a terrible team! I'm not bashing the kid, he's 10 times a better athlete than I ever was, but damn, how do you defend his performance?

Yep. Lot of football yet to be played.

AJ is a talented QB. He's just letting the pressure of starting get to him too much and playing tight and tentative.

I'm not sure most fans understand the different dynamics in play between starting with all the pressure on you and coming-in in relief with no pressure.

What Cam needs to do is realize that neither is 'starter-ready' and when they struggle let the other drive for a possession.

I agree. He obviously has been outplayed by BH, but he has given 110% since being on campus and I feel for him.

Real tough start, but keep ha head up AJ!!

Agreed. I feel bad for what he's going through, although I believe his situation was made much worse because it's been mismanaged by the coaches.

i really have to wonder about the two people whose lives are so empty and useless that they would downvote, "He seems like a good kid and nobody should bash him just because another player is better." what the frick is wrong with some of you. they're kids, under intense pressure and trying to do something that is really fricking hard. sometimes it won't work. there's no shame in that.

They just made a great point on Hanigriff. Jennings may just not be a starting QB. He came off the bench and won the Arky game last year. He may just be a guy that is better suited to be a backup.

Our fans truly suck at times. No kid deserves that treatment.

I feel bad for him with people booing him and chanting harris' name. He really is a good guy and I could only imagine what all this negativity towards him feels like

I agree. He should take it as a challenge to work even harder and improve. Don't take the woe is me attitude. Take it as due notice that he must improve and the only way to do that is through hard work and a positive attitude. If you lost your job, do what it takes to reclaim it.

Every LSU player should learn as their first lesson to ignore the imbeciles who populate its fan base. Some of our fans are the worst representatives of the human race.

Keep working hard AJ. We've all had bad days at work. You are a Tiger and you deserve our support. Football fans are all about what have you done for me lately. Most of us have very short memories and a long list of demands. Thanks for being a Tiger.

Good post. The kid deserves our support. He's obviously struggling right now and is a better player than this. I also really liked how he was helping BH on the sideline.

Nice post. Every player has their rough times, but it says a lot if you can work through it and learn from it. Jennings made the commitment to be a Tiger and works hard every day, and that means I'll support him.

I honestly feel terrible for Jennings. Anthony has done nothing but give his all and unfortunately it is not as good as we all hoped. I truly hope Jennings can keep working and not take all of this personally. Harris has a higher ceiling and there is no shame in taking on the mentor role. As much as I wish Anthony could be the guy I am aware that Harris is the future.

Miles should apologize for sending that kid back out there I feel for Jennings because the booing was for miles continuing to be so hard headed, not against Jennings. I agree I hope he stays confident because I do feel for him having to go through that
