re: The "not ready" or "he will be ruined" are the dumbest excuses, I'll prove it

But this "ruining" a player is simply a cop out go to expression that has no merit. Good players ball, bad players fizzle out.....playing a game doesn't ruin leaders, it creates them!

I dunno about that. I think that the way Lee and Jefferson were handled at he beginning of heir careers harmed both of them.

I also think flip flopping quarterbacks can be a recipe for disaster. Once he pulled Jennings and put in Harris and Harris struggled, to me it was a situation where he could: A) leave Harris in the rest of the year anyway or B) Leave Jennings in. Up until the last 55 seconds or so of the Bama game, not too many people were complaining about going with option B. Now that we've lost two in a row, more people are.

In any event, I don't think playing Harris now would really be flip flopping too much because it is after all the last regular season game.

The only thing it could rationally be, and none of probably could say for sure, is that he's really not performing well in practice. Seems unlikely to be true but I couldn't say for sure.

Any input?

Why wasn't LF "ruined" when he played early?

Comparing RB to the most cerebral position on the field.

So why then, as it pertains to Harris, many of you can't understand he needs snaps to be fully comfortable.

Because we all watched Jarrett Lee get ruined his freshmen year.

did you really just compare playing RB to playing QB...?

Cause les says so

This "ruin a QB" crap is just morons way of explaining why Lee sucked so damn bad. Lee was a gunslinger coming out of Texas and HAD TO throw the ball a lot to win games in his 8 starts in 2008. Lee was not ruined, he was just never coached up. Same for Jefferson.

At this point, I want to win and see Harris play. Now against TAMU, we really don't need to play Harris, as their bad run defense and pass heavy offense plays right into our strengths. At the same time, I still want to see what he can do. I want him to start in the bowl game as well. Four weeks of practice prep should be great for him.
