re: Even if Harris plays

No matter what I have a tough time believing he would have any success in this type of offense when you have a coach who will bench you off a bad throw or two. He will try to be playing not to make a mistake rather then actually playing the way the game is suppose to be. Les needs that drilled in his head, its human to make mistakes, its only hurting you worse by handicapping the passing game. My question is why does Jennings get so many free passes?

Exactly. It's Jefferson and Lee all over again. Lee makes one mistake and he's on the bench for the rest of the season. Jefferson can stink it up for weeks (or years) on end, and still gets chance after chance after chance. Substitute Jennings for Jefferson and Harris for Lee and you've got exactly the same situation again this year.

My theory, based on NO inside knowledge, is that dissension on the team develops and divides the team into camps supporting one QB or the other. Miles, instead of doing what a coach would do and squelching any sign of dissension before it even gets off the ground, simply lets it fester and then picks a side. From that point on, the winning side's QB gets as many free passes as he needs, while the other one is simply decoration for the sideline.
