It might be a better idea to let your kid that can do basic paddling, who can keep his head above water, practice in the deep end, while you keep the other one in the shallow end, a more controlled environment so he has a safety net.
I agree with you, except that the one with fins isn't even being let in the water. This has always been a major, inarguable fault, with Miles. He doesn't give the backups meaningful snaps with the game in hand. Harris should have played the majority of the second half against UK. He has a history of not doing that. "Let's send in mett to hand off repeatedly.

I think it's a matter of development. A player can develop maturity only in the face of adversity. If you don't learn to succeed through adverse conditions, it is questionable as to where the person or team has achieved success. The difference between AJ and BH is that one has a little more maturity than the other. BH had a "zeal without knowledge" and "caved in" to the hostile environment at Auburn. It's important to have a settled individual leading a team--talent and leadership at times don't intersect, but mature leadership is one of the keys to having a great team. Talent alone isn't good enough to get the job done. Teamwork with good leadership does.

No, the shallow end is practice. He was thrown in the deep end and almost drowned.
And there have been plenty of RS sophomores that have come in and played well with no prior experience. For the most part, game experience is trumped by practice simply based on the volume of reps.
I guarantee you Miles would have liked to get Harris in the past few games, but they have just been too close. He comes in against UK and throws a pick. No reason for the coaches to continue to let him throw to work it out, the game was in hand, he can work it out in practice.
The kid isn't being punished, he is a true freshmen qb, and is being treated like one. You don't hand your kid the keys to your Porsche the day he gets his license, especially if you have seen him grinding gears when supervised.
