re: Patience is a virtue: QBs tend to get better with more years in college

Then Anthony Jennings should have been good this year (his 3rd year in college), right? Yet he got beaten out by a player in his second year who had a bad season. If time in the program (or in college) was all you are cracking it up to be, then why did we start our second year player over our third year player? If it was because the second year player was better, then why didn't the third year player get better in his third year like you are claiming they do?

No. No. No. No.

I don't think you're even trying to understand.

Jennings was probably better this year than last year, but the coaching staff determined that Harris gave LSU the better chance to win.

QBs get better with experience/years. However, that does not mean that QB A without years is necessarily better than QB B with years. Nevertheless, the theory still holds true: QB A with years is better than QB A without years. QB B with years is better than QB B without years.

Let me put that into real world terms for you.

Beckwith [Player A] in mid-season 2014 (So.) was better than Welter [Player B] in mid-season 2014 (RS Sr.).

However, Beckwith in mid-season 2014 (So.) was better than Beckwith in mid-season 2013 (Fr.), and Welter in mid-season 2014 (RS Sr.) was better than Welter in mid-season 2012 (RS So.).

Understand now?

Anthony Jennings probably would have been better than he was last year. We don't know. Does not mean he is better than Harris.

Nevertheless, Harris should be much better next year.
