I really hope Harris sticks around and fights for the job because if not we're looking at 2 more years of Jordan Jefferson v2.0.

Let's ignore the fact that we scored exactly three more points in this game than we did against auburn. Harris was terrible against auburn. So was our whole team. They had like 24 points in the 1st quarter with no turnovers and no big special teams plays.
Saturday night Jennings wasn't nearly as bad as Harris against auburn, but he was NOT good. Mediocre at best. And this was at home, not on the road. In a game where all the other 21 players played magnificently, and carried his arse.
Look no ones saying you can't win with a Jennings. He can certainly get to the level of Lee/Jefferson in 2011. I think people forget bc the team as a whole was so good, but our qb's were merely competent, leaning more towards bad than good. Defense, run game, and special teams were just so stacked it didn't matter. But it's incredibly hard to consistently build teams THAT dominant with bad qb play. It finally cost us in 2011 when, unfairly or not, we had to play the one team in the country who could compete with us in the other three phases.
Like other posters have mentioned, Jennings level of play means we only have one way to win. If we go behind by double digits were basically fricked, bc Jennings is not remotely capable of getting the ball, dropping back, and throwing completions when the defense knows it's coming.
I'm not saying Harris is a better option. But let's not sugarcoat things and act like Jennings is something he isn't. If both qb's are so bad that Jennings is still the better option then ok, but any line of thinking that we're winning bc of qb play and not in spite of it is fricking delusional. Jennings is still the worst qb in the sec.

What are your panties in a wad so much for?
Jennings is no better than Jordan Jefferson, unless you see some magic thing nobody else has.
