I need to find the tweet, but I think it was more along the lines of him admitting he needed to put more time in if he wanted to see the field. Was putting his playing time all on himself.

We heard all preseason that this would be a qb rotation and that is just not true.

I guess you know it alls know more than Brandon Harris himself because he stated on Twitter that he wasn't ready. He stated that he had not put in the effort required to be where he needs to be.
Les or Cam didn't say it. Harris did.
Now y'all go tell him he is an idiot and that you know more than the coaching staff and Harris himself because you are a poster on Tigerdroppings and that makes you qualified to pontificate as if you are all-knowing. LSU has to have the dumbest fan base in the damn country.

that is fine and dandy
self awareness is a very good thing to have
still doesn't change the fact that Harris couldn't possibly be worse than Jennings

AJ has problems as well but at least understands the playbook and how to get the team lined up.

He hasn't played because he is not ready.
So the best way to get him ready is to bench him the rest of the year? That makes a lot of sense.
There is no excuse for not getting him more meaningful snaps. We don't know if Harris will improve. We know Jennings hasn't improved.
We're fricked next year if neither improves.

Outside of the Auburn game...where it was a fricking wolves den in which neither of our QB's would have succeded, Harris has been productive.
Don't give me "he doesn't know the playbook" bullshite...He has been here since January, and he damn sure knew the playbook while bringing us back vs Miss St and destroying NM St.
If he truly didn't know the playbook and the staff named him starter anyway, then that what does that tell you about our staff??
The staff has put the spin of Harris "not knowing the playbook" and now it's "isn't a team player, doesn't put in the time" yadda yadda.
It's deflection from what the real issue is here, same as politics.

The coaches see Harris at practice and know how he is progressing but the young man is a TRUE FRESHMAN and you can ruin a player by putting him in when he isn't ready and doesn't have the confidence of the other players.
If this is the case, then the coaching is worse than I thought.

You get better by putting in time at practice and in film study and letting the coaches coach. You don't improve by going out half-cocked and playing, getting sacked, throwing INTs, fumbling, and screwing up in general in a live game. All that does is cause humiliation and self-doubt which can become almost impossible to correct.

Miles always has a guy he prefers...whether it be JJ or AJ. He successfully took Lee's confidence and shite on it and done the same with Harris this year. The only diff, is that he didn't have a damn near pro team out there to save his arse all season

Player speak, it's called taking accountability for your actions and not blaming coaching or other players. It's what mature adults do when faced with adversity.

At some point, you have to accept what Jennings is and what he isn't...an SEC caliber quarterback. They've tried hiding him, but there's no hiding horrific QB play.

nows a better time than in the spring to get him ready for next year

You have a head coach who almost exclusively trusts and goes with the player who has the better practice and study habits. You have two players who have shown time and time again that during the game, there is not much difference at this time. You have multiple reports that Jennings just simply puts in more time and effort into practice and preparation then Jennings. There have also been multiple reports that Harris lacks the same grasp of the offense and his responsibilities that Jennings.
If anyone, by this time of year does not know why Harris is starting and playing significantly more time, you have to literally be trying to look for something else.
Jennings outworked the kid and Harris is paying for it. Maybe he learned. Maybe he won't let it happen again. Maybe he learned this the last couple of months as he watched an opportunity pass him by. Maybe he dedicated himself to preparing better and as Miles said, has "closed the gap". Maybe a month after aTm is the time he needs to prove to Miles that his extra preparation has paid off.
Maybe not. Maybe he's still getting outworked.

This crap about people saying he is not ready is laughable that people believe that is why he is not playing. He was less ready early in the season and has looked great at times coming off the bench. Yes he sucked it up against AU but Jennings would not have faired any better. I am not saying he should start but he should have been seeing some meaningful time since the AU game. And definitely against Arkansas. In my view there is no reason he should not have. If th stick is true that he is not ready then he should not have seen anytime in any of the games. But he has which tells me he is at least somewhat ready for the coaches to give him sometime early in the season. Why he is riding the pine now we will never know and is extremely frustrating considering the abysmal QB play that has been in the field b

So it's okay to screw up Jennings by leaving him out there? How much confidence you think Jennings has after his awful performances?
Look, Miami and aTm true freshmen QBs proved they can actually get better after looking like shite in their first start.

As much as some of you want to play Ostrich and put your head in the sand (or up somewhere else) the fact of the matter is that neither AJ or BH had much experience at QB at LSU. However AJ is a Sophomore and has a full year longer with the Playbook and that is why AJ is playing.
