Miles has been so reluctant to give this young man a chance I honesty think he won't come out firing and playing to nearly his best ability. He'll play trying not to make a mistake (knowing Miles will be foaming at the mouth to get Jennings back in). I believe the lack of confidence Miles is showing in Brandon will result in a much more conservative player less explosive player.

I've always been a Miles supporter, but I simply can't watch him run this program into the ground anymore.

Here's to 2020.

I'm pretty confident that Harris will lead LSU to a future SEC/National championship.

And he doesn't have to look very far to find an example of Miles doing just that. He benched the QB with the most efficient passer rating (i.e. he wasn't turning the ball over) for JJ in 2011 because of two bad throws.

It's obvious Miles is never going to give Harris the chance to reach his potential. Since he obviously intended to throw this season away anyway, it's hard to imagine why he didn't just go ahead and let Harris get some experience and play for the future. But, for whatever reason, Miles has decided that Harris is not and never will be our QB, so he has put him in mostly bad situations and yanked him at the first sign of trouble. Meanwhile, Jennings has created enough stink to embarrass the skunk population of Louisiana, yet still plays on. This will continue for another two years. Then, in 2017, when Jennings is finally, at long last, mercifully, gone, Harris (if he stays that long) will finally be the starter and Miles will wonder why he isn't ready. And worse, he'll probably use his own incompetence in not bringing Harris along as evidence that he was right to throw the offense away with Jennings for three years.

Not much will change. The gameplan will be run, run, run, put
Qb under center & have him throw short passed on 3rd down or bombs down the sideline hoping for the receiver to out jump coverage or a PI.
I believe, at this point, we can make the observation that AJ has no pocket presence, no feel for touch passes, & would rather throw to Dural in triple coverage than look for another receiver. Harris will be given the same options, he seems to have better touch on his passes & is a better runner; it would be nice to at least see what he can do....with the same gameplan of course
