What do you not understand about some of us saying Harris needs to progress before starting again? The past two Heisman trophy winners did not a play one down of college football their freshman years, and still won the trophy the next, thus making your point about the much needed game experience moot.

Ummm they were playing behind 1st round draft picks at QB. Unless you think AJ is a 1st round pick, this doesn't hold up to well.

What do y'all not understand about seeing how nearly every snap Harris has done has been with the play coming in from the sideline at the line, illustrating there is some disconnect there?

And? They do the same thing with Jennings

That it's a bullshite excuse for the weak.

Then it's safe to assume he started working harder. Yet he still didn't get in against Arkansas amidst the abortion Jennings performed.

But it doesn't mean that the best thing for this team, for Harris, for the years to come is to start Harris or even play him significantly over the next couple games, despite nearly all of us wanting to see it.

What pressure does he have? He would be replacing a QB that has performed worse than just about every QB in LSU history, at least for the last 25 years. Will also let the rest of the O that they have a coach willing to give them a fighting chance to perform at a high level.

And why not? We were talking about the most outstanding players in all of football, and the point was simply that they got zero snaps as freshmen, and progressed pretty damn well. Harris doesn't have to have snaps this year to be good next year. This proves exactly that.

Nearly every play? No, they do not. I haven't counted, but I'd bet its 3-1 Harris vs Jennings that they do this for.

Why? He hadn't apparently done it by 11/4 in the past 8 months, but all of a sudden he did? And after a week and a half, even if he did, he should be rewarded?

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you here. But the problem is that one of the worst performances I have ever seen at QB was against Auburn. If he goes out and tanks again, what does that do for him? Maybe he's just really not ready, for a bunch of reasons that have nothing to do with talent or play, and it is the best for this team and for him to start anew in 2015. I don't recall a person last year on here complaining that Mett was done after last year so we should bench him and start Jennings to get the work to be better this year. In essence, we all hope that the situations are similar, except AJ won't be graduating.

And I would say the coaches don't trust their players.... which could also go to their recruiting of QBs; maybe our players aren't smart enough; or probably Les and OC/coaches don't know what the hell play to call as that play clock sure gets low sometimes. Damn, how hard is it to call something out of I formation or toss sweep
