You sound like the kind of nut-case that would let David Koresh do your wife and drink the kool aide when told to do so. It's really OK to think for yourself.



not sure why you're insulting me, or where I've shown I haven't thought for myself. I've wanted Harris to start most of the yr. I've said that pretty consistently for months. I sincerely doubt he'd have done worse than Jennings, he has a higher ceiling, and we'd have gotten him some experience. at worst, I think we could've played both and got Harris a few series a game.

I'll restate...he was buried way down the depth chart and I've got to believe that he wasn't getting meaningful coaching throughout the season. He somehow comes out of nowhere and is able to run the offense that he can handle. Wouldn't you agree that both BH & AJ had more focussed coaching from the spring until now?


I don't necessarily agree with that. Miller was hurt and limited as far back as spring. Jones got more reps as a result, and he was elevated to the 2nd team QB before the season started (when Miller got ruled out for the yr). it's not crazy to think that the OSU coaches put a bit more effort into getting him ready seeing as how he was 1 play away from starting at any given point. hell, he had Braxton there to help him out as well.

Sorry...I didn't mean to insult you. That was more directed at Cracker but I was responding to your post.

My point was that our top 2 never changed so I'm assuming that they received significant coaching. I didn't see improvement.
