This is just objectively not true.

I disagree with most of what you wrote, but I admit you have legitimate points of view...except for this one. It's just dead wrong. Miles is very quick to replace an established player with a younger one; there are so many examples of that they leave no doubt.

The few cases you probably are thinking of involve physically talented young players who don't have the scheme down yet.

Said in a thread where the very topic is the more senior player being replaced in the starting lineup by the true freshman.

What's the matter with some of you people?

Harris was a bit uncomfortable in action vs ULM, so I can see the staff taking the time needed for development.
I guess they never saw Jennings regression coming though and didn't think he'd be needed quite so soon.

If Jennings would have progressed he would have been a good game management quarterback. He did not progress, and we can not be a game management offense until the OL performs better. We need a playmaker to keep drives alive. By keeping drives alive we allow our D to be more aggressive, and that is the only way we can win. We must win by playmaking and scheme on D...we cant out muscle, or out physical this year.

Harris is the obvious choice until Jennings has the light come on.

In a year with freshmen all over the field in front of more senior players, I really cant believe(yes I can) someone would pull out the seniority argument

as for your second point ("poorly develops top 3 recruiting classes every year") Miles has actually only had 2 top 3 classes, 2009 and 2014. here are a few of the poorly developed players from the 2009 class:

Michael Brockers
prospect ranking in the state - 23
prospect ranking nationally - 201
1st round pick of the Rams, number 14 overall

Barkevious Mingo
prospect ranking in the state - 8
prospect ranking nationally - 155
1st round pick of the Browns, number 6 overall

Morris Claiborne
prospect ranking in the state - 21
prospect ranking nationally - unranked 3 star
1st round pick of the Cowboys, number 6 overall

Kevin Minter
prospect ranking in the state - 18
prospect ranking nationally - unranked
2nd round pick of the Cardinals, number 45 overall

Bennie Logan
prospect ranking in the state - 20
prospect ranking nationally - unranked 3 star
3rd round pick of the Eagles, current starting DT
(note - Logan was the 2nd lowest ranked prospect in the class)

that class also had Chris Faulk, Rueben Randle (2nd round pick, Giants), Sam Montgomery (3rd round pick, Texans), Akiem Hicks (who obviously never played but now starts for the Saints), Michael Ford, Russel Shepard, and Craig Loston.

but, please, do go on about how Miles won't play freshman and doesn't develop his endless string of top 3 classes.

or, maybe some of you could ask yourselves how many years in a row you have to be completely wrong about Miles, which is why you have no choice but to repeat the same lies over and over again, until you stop being such complete pussies and simply deal with the fact that you were wrong.
