Did you even watch the Auburn game?
Harris has the skills but is not ready/hasn't put it all together yet.

Exact same can be said for Jennings
WRONG.
Jennings doesn't have the skills.
He SUCKS and will never improve from what we see now.
We're in the midst of a 3+ loss season. This time could have been spent getting Harris very valuable big game experience. Instead Les is pulling another Jordan Jeffersonesque bonehead move and playing a guy who hasn't gotten, doesn't get it, and will never get it.

Which makes me lean towards the QB with experience.
How did AJ's experience help on that 4th and 10 in OT when he could have run for a first down? That's the mark of experience. In fairness, it seems the STAFF has little interest in developing the passing game.
LSU scores 7 against Auburnt, 10 against Ole Miss and 13 against the gumps. That kind of offense will get you to the guacamole bowl every time. Why can't they develop Harris? If he is not better than AJ, the why, in God's name, is the lad on a scholarship? Why? Can't they find a good QB? Mett does not count because he was dismissed from UGA. Further, they didn't let him play at all when LSU had the JL and JJ fiasco.
I just do not get it.

Not sure why people expect Tom Brady at this point.
I don't expect Tom Brady.
But I do expect more than a mediocre third string high school quarterback. And, that is what Jennings is.

When asked about his qb play firs thing miles says is that he can hand the ball off for 4 yards a carry
He has zero confidence in Jennings.
He has zero confidence in Jennings.

Quit being so knee jerk and look at the previous 4 weeks. It makes no fricking sense to pull a QB because he went up against a really good defense and didn't have a stellar outing.
We would have a whole new team after a loss with your logic.

They spend too much time reading the recruiting board here.

I'm not sure a one week snapshot against a Saban defense is the best litmus test.

What exactly are you basing this 'improvement' on? Are you aware that he hasn't completed better than 50% of his passes Vs a team not named Sam Houston State in his career? Last night was 30%. You don't think BH could complete 30%?

CLEARLY, we're not asking him to do anything more than you would ask of a mediocre middle school quarterback.
And, he manages to f*ck that up.
He obviously stares down one receiver for every passing play. If that guy isn't WIDE F*CKING OPEN, the panics and looks like a deer in headlights.
There has to be at least 10 guys on the intramural fields who could do what we are asking of Jennings and not f*ck it up nearly as bad.

I wouldn't be surprised if he had more or less.

Never said Jennings has put it all together...
As for Miles intentionally setting up Harris to fail....

Now is his opportunity to get him some play time experience.

It is sad when there are people that truly believe this. I mean, sit around and stew on this theory because they just KNOW it to be true.

i don't think starting BH over AJ at this point is giving up on the season, but it would definitely give BH valuable game experience for 2015 when we might actually have a shot at a decent year. I could understand if AJ was noticeably better than BH, but he's clearly not and BH has tons more potential.

When Jennings got hurt and had to come out for just ONE play les threw a fit on the sideline and because of that we burned a to because harris didn't get the play call in time. Of course Harris is given no oppurtunitu to throw the ball because as soon as he does there will be another qb contraversey
Well this is a total misreading of the situation.

It's not about setting him up to fail...it's about getting him big game experience for down the road.
Every quarterback has growing pains. Look at Peyton Manning's first year in Indy. But, more than any other position, quarterbacks need big game reps to improve. As far as National Championship aspirations, this season has been over for quite some time -- so why not get the one guy who has some potential on this team some reps for the future. And, if he shows he doesn't have it, then you move on and find someone else.
But, I'm sorry -- there is no way in the world Harris could be nearly as bad as Jennings. How much skill does it take to turn around and hand off the football -- because that is about the limit of Jennings' "skills".

What makes you believe that BH will be better than AJ? Or is it just that he can't be worse?
I have seen zero from BH that makes me believe he is some savior. I think he is more of the same. "Preparing" for next year is a farce, both these QBs will likely be around for two more years.
