re: Why is everyone so mad about Harris sitting?

as if Jennings isn't already a JJ.
AJ is a JJ and this season doesn't matter other than developing players. As history has shown (not just at LSU, but all over CFB and the NFL) if you throw a QB that isn't ready they become a bust more times than not.

just at the the games that Jennings and Harris have both taken meaningful snaps in... Harris has played better in those games.
Harris took meaningful snaps against a MSU backup D that had not prepared for him and a NMSU (yes he looked better than Jennings in that game), but it was painfully obvious that he was not ready vs Auburn and if the coaches think that he still is not ready why risk breaking him?
Also I give up trying to point that maybe the coaches know what they are doing. I forgot that only SB winning coaches post on TD. Good bye

yeah I'll give you that, it was an MSU backup D in what looked like garbage time.
and Harris wasn't ready vs. Auburn, I'll give you that as well. But neither was Jennings.
it's just tough watching Jennings when the most hope we've seen at QB has come from #6

If starting against either Arkansas or A&M and playing poorly breaks him, then he probably won't be too great anyway.
I don't think that would BREAK him.
He may not light the world on fire against A&M or may not have against Arky, but he couldn't have done worse than AJ, and would have at least gained experience.

So by your logic the coaches have completely given up on AJ and don't care if he gets "broken"? And Harris was ready and able to come in against MSU, NMSU, and START AT Auburn, but because he has one bad outing in which we were down 24-7 in the first 4 drives, only threw a handful of times in said drives, and our D couldn't stop a nose bleed, obviously Harris isn't "ready" whatever that means and this year is a wash for him?
Keep in mind AJ went the wrong way on a hand off just a few weeks ago, when he has almost 2 full years in the system.
I said it before and I'll say it again, the entire way Harris' start at Auburn was handled was complete hot garbage. He should have started NMSU and the coaches should have thrown the entire playbook out there. NOT run it 75-80% of the game. He gets his first start in a perfect environment, we know for sure we will win so you can burn some time working on things and if Harris doesn't understand the playcall or whatever, call a time out and straighten it out. Instead we basically throw him to the wolfs and everyone on here is acting like its complete and utter proof that Harris doesn't know the offense, he he isn't "ready".
And you keep mentioning Harris getting "broken" mentally when infact he was probably the highest he had ever been entering the Auburn game after the outstanding NMSU game. What the hell is going to happen to him when we bring in a JUCO guy who will most likely start for 2 years? If anything I would think he would take it as a slap in the face and see it as the coaches have ZERO confidence in him.
Guys are going to have bad games. It's inevitable, but they also have a short memory. The key to keeping confidence is having the coach trust them. Once that's gone, so goes Harris' head.
