Or maybe they don't want Harris to act entitled and to continue working hard.

Yes, there are emotional mind games that coaches play with players. Certain players need to be treated differently and coaches push different buttons to get the max effort and performance out of them. So I can acknowledge that could be the case here.

But on the flip side, it can be a huge confidence builder to name a starter after spring and have him grasp the mantle of being the starter and become the leader of the offense. It also would allow the entire offensive unit to unite behind him. QB is often more than just on-field performance, it's leadership, instilling confidence, etc.

Competition is great, but Harris surely knows if he doesn't work hard and perform, AJ is behind him. But not naming Harris as "the guy" after a horrific QB performance last year from AJ is very concerning.
