re: What do some of you not understand about Brandon Harris??

Under this regime, if you are a young player you will not supplant someone with more experience unless you prove it Sunday to Friday. Bottom line, end of story. How you people still have trouble comprehending that is beyond me.

We people don't have any trouble understanding this is the way it is and always will be. We just all realize how assinine this line of thinking is when the players being given snaps are some of the worst of all time.

To say the staff was clueless on when to plug Beckwith in when his play IMMEDIATELY improved after being the starter is ridiculous. If anything, their uncertainty of when to start someone is evident with Harris at Auburn, not Beckwith.

It's not ridiculous at all when you actually pay attention. Beckwith's plays for game increased each week. His play got better as his snaps increased. Even with minimal snaps, he outperformed Welter each week he played.

How can you pumpers keep crying Harris @ Auburn when Jennings performance the week before, at home, against NM St, was leaps and bounds worse? He turned the ball over 3 times in 1 qtr against one of the worst teams in the FBS for Christ's sake. All that hard work at practive sure paid off!

Look, I get coaches wanting a player to work his arse off in order to maximize his abilities. They won't ever reach their potential if they don't learn this trait. But I'm also not foolish enough to think 2 things:

1. Proving you are better than the guy in front of you and still not getting snaps is about the most frustrating thing that could happen to a young player. No one has said Harris doesn't work hard, Jennings just happens to work harder though he has not shown a single flash of being a GOOD QB. Why would Jennings work harder when the best player sees the field everywhere else. (Some of them are rapists and steal crab legs)

2. Doing the same exact thing over and over with the same results expecting something different to happen is a freaking sign of insanity. Jennings has now started 11 games for the Tigers. He has thrown for 9 TD's and 7 Int's in that span. 3 of the Int's were in the last 4 games where he also fumbled the ball. He is getting worse and our coach has thrown every single unit under the bus in the process of defending him.
