Harris was terrible against a top 5 team... Jennings was terrible against New Mexico St. One is more understandable than the other

Can we not agree that Jennings game had a bit of a snowball effect on his performance? He fumbled on a hard run, not excusable, but it happens. Then was booed and tried to force it to save himself against a team we knew we would beat. It was a bad game, no doubt, but he was pretty safe with the ball up until that point. Jennings also led a (mostly running) drive to go up 14-0, then Harris comes down the field, throwing one pass, to score and and now really delfate a team that is down 21-0 in the first half and already have 4 turnovers. They were demoralized.

I'm not saying one is better than the other, just that we should give this situation proper perspective.

Jennings has proven he can at least keep our head above water, Harris has proven he can make spectacular plays with no pressure. I personally don't want to lose anymore games, so we need to be flexible with our QB options to put us in a good place to compete.

The "let Harris take his lumps" crowd are the same fools that will call for a coaches head if we don't perform. I seriously don't think these people realize that letting Harris take his lumps, has and still does mean more losses.
