What is the deal with everyone saying he has trouble with the playbook? Is this just the rant talking out their arse or is their some evidence of this? He seems like a very intelligent kid in every interview I have seen of him. Wasnt he a really good student in high school?

He hasn't played organized football for all that long and he's transitioning from a spread offense to Cameron's vertical passing (or some hybrid of it) offense. His intelligence isn't at issue. It's a rough transition to make.

Look at his play last year, its very evident that he wasn't familiar with the playbook.

He didn't know the playbook last year. It's fact. Not sure how he has progressed this year but I'm sure it's gotten better...just not sure to what extent.

He went the wrong way on plays at least once in every game he appeared in where he took more than one snap. He fumbled at least one snap in every game he appeared in where he took more than one snap. He specifically said in an interview that he was having trouble grasping the playbook. We slowed to a crawl and did the meerkat whenever he was in because he couldn't check into the correct play.

yes, and you would think a solid understanding of early english literature would directly translate to reading a defense

There is no evidence.
it is nothing more than the so called "positigers" slamming one of our players (AGAINST SITE RULES), to defend the choice to play Aj last year.

It was obvious in the Spring Game. I wouldn't say he does not know it but he does not have command of it. It requires being able to step up to the LOS and read the defense and make changes as necessary. In SG he had to call 4 TO's in the game. AJ called zero. Also he still "loses the field" when he roles out sometimes. He is about where you would expect a guy who has three semesters in the system. He will get better and is the higher potential guy IMHO.
The catch here is the fact that the best way for him to improve this is to get more live snaps.
Don't read this as I am an AJ supporter. I am not - I believe BH is the future here.

The ability to speak, discuss current events, do complicated math etc does not always translate to memorizing plays and signals, reads, and reactions.

No more excuses this season. Time to put up or shut up. SOGOTP!

It is the same ole line used to defend the coaches decision to play a player who is not as talented. This has been going on for years. Last year a slightly different version was that Welter could line up the players. Now Beckwith is a star player
We have no idea why coaches start who they start but not knowing the plays is totally different than getting behind the center and being nervous or confused with the defense.
To me the staff feels more comfortable with Jennings because he is calm running the team, his problem is throwing the football or finding receivers and making the quick and right decision. Every fan on the board and every LSU coach can see Harris has a better arm and can run faster.
Harris is smart, Harris has great talent and he knows the play book. Harris needs game experience and McNeese will be a great learning game and we follow with two very tough games with Miss St and Auburn.
If Harris can play good the first 3 games then we will be fine.
Jennings will get reinstated and if Harris struggles against Miss St or Auburn then Les will pull Harris and Jennings will take over.
My hope for LSU is that Harris plays well as he is our best bet to win a BCS title. Solid QB play is needed to rise to the top and win the big game.
