Harris has not outperformed Jennings and y'all can believe this or not but Harris has not shown the maturity and leadership ability that Jennings has up to this point. Harris does not have the respect of the players that Jennings has and that is a big deal. Harris needs to grow the f--k up and earn the respect of his team mates. Going into a huddle and not knowing the plays doesn't earn you respect as a team leader. This was what I was told by a parent of a current starter on offense for LSU.

Like it or not the Harris supporters on this board or anywhere else are kidding themselves. Harris simply did not apply himself and learn the damn playbook as he should have and it showed in game situations (Auburn) and in PRACTICE.

This season both Jennings and Harris are improving but to think Harris is better is simply not true. He may get there but he isn't there yet. I think we are looking at two QBs this year and if one doesn't emerge as the clear leader the Felipe Franks may put them both on the bench.

Harris is playing QB, not running for president of the United States. You play the best player, period. That isn't Jennings. I am convinced that some of you morons would have started Jennings over Jameis Winston because he's an outstanding leader.

Couldn't have said it better. Harris might have Jennings beat on pure talent, but no one on this board can say much else than that. Jennings knows the plays, works his arse off, and is a team motivator. I hope Harris matures this off-season and lives up to the expectations, but he hasn't yet. I don't care who starts as long as each is given a fair shot at the starting position. I expect this competition to continue all summer and probably into the first few games.

Yes he has that is not even up for debate. Just on decision making alone. Harris was perfect with no sacks with the white team.

We are talking about ONE frickING GAME ON THE ROAD AS A TRUE FRESHMAN. Jennings knows the fricking playbook and we got our shite shoved in against ARKANSAS! Jennings hasn't had one game where we thought ok this guy is coming into his own or this guy has potential.

Harris is better. Jennings has a year ahead of him and still looks as bad as he did in his first bowl game. It is time to cut our losses and fully focus on Harris. People who say Harris has not surpass Jennings are missing the forest for the trees. The whole point is that if Jennings was any good Harris would not even be a threat to taking his starting role. So why would we keep giving the guy who is in jeopardy of losing his job chance after chance.
