I think Harris is better now, but doubt he see the field much the rest of the year. Just my opinion.
That goes back to my original question in the thread: If Harris is better now (which presumably means he gives the better chance to win), why isn't the coaching staff starting him? They evaluate it differently than you? They don't want the best chance of winning? They are just trying to make you mad? Something else? I'm genuinely curious as to why you think they wouldn't start the better player.

I direct your question to the coaching staff. It puzzles me to be sure. I want to avoid any comparisons to previous situations because they are not necessarily relevant. Harris looks to me to be more talented, but maybe there are other things the coaches see/have that persuade them to play AJ.

I think its because ,in practice, the margin at which Harris is better does not surpass the fear the coaches have of Harris possibly playing badly and ruining his mental psychy for the future. Basically he is a little better on average but is less consistent. His bad could be real bad, his good real good. AJ hasn't had any turnover problems in big games, ( because if his #1 isn't open he tucks it, gets sacked, or throws it away). Coaches feel more in control and safer with Jennings, playing not to lose.
