I would say we've seen very little development in either guy so far this year. AJ should be further along than he is. Harris is still a work in progress I guess. Anyway you cut it, the QBs have not looked good.


Mett should have been further along as a redshirt junior in 2012, but he and Jennings have similar stats. Some kids take a couple years before they "get it". Some kids take a couple years before they are even starting.

Wallace, Marshall, Mason, Thompson, Sims, Allen, and Worley did not start until they were 3rd and 5th year QBs.

Screen pass has looked good recently, and he has checked down to his RBs and FBs several times in the past two games. I have re watched those to see him go to the check down after his first option. He's improving at a snail's pace, but he also doesn't get many opportunities. At 20 pass attempts per FBS power 5 contest (when you remove the Auburn game where he only came in late), how can he develop much during games?

The light will come on at some point this year, it might be against Ole Miss or Bama, but when it does, it will be worth it.

Harris is better. Who gives a shite if you have to go thru some growing pains. At least you're doing it with next years starter! To go thru this bullshite with a sub par production at qb and KNOW he is not the best we have and won't be the starter next year, its just dumb.

We aren't winning shite year, and deep down you guys all know it...So what, get prepared for the journey! Not playing Harris meaningful snaps every game is hurting this program for the future.

I do not disagree with sticking with the hot hand, but that wasn't the case and still isn't.

Miles and company need another Mett, IMO...someone who just strolls onto campus and is basically already a top qb. There is no development going on with these guys.
