I keep hearing that BH isn't ready. here are some questions....

I hope these are rhetorical

It doesn't have to make sense. It's Les. Look at 2010 for a prime example of his ineptitude with handling QBs. Lee continually came in to play well why JJ stink it up, yet sat the bench most of the year as JJ finished the regular season with 4 TD passes as a junior starting in 20 or so games.

History tells us Harris will remain on the bench for the foreseeable future.

I have read the positive and negative post about the qb situation. And usually all I do is read but every now and then I would post something, so today I will write my opinion down just as everyone has done since this topic about the qbs are hot.
I've been an Harris fan since the start and still til this day. I do believe he needs to learn from the sideline but actually more on the field. People criticized that he had a bad game but are quick to state tht Jennings has won tough SEC GAMES. if it were not for the defense and lucky breaks we would have a poor season. Jennings had all season to show what he can do. Now it's time that we at least let Harris get reps and learn from playing. I can agree what the people on this post are saying and more. Stop with the excuses and let's utilizes the talent we have.
Thank you

the most frustrating part for me as a fan is that Miles has given Jennings chance after chance after chance, but pulled Harris after one terrible half on the road in one of the most difficult places to play. And that was on a Saturday night, to make it even harder. To not give him another start or even play him again in a meaningful game is unacceptable, especially as horrible as Jennings has played. I kept thinking how bad we should be beating Alabama had we had any sort of good quarterback play. Against Arky, it was just flat out embarrassing. To not put him (or someone else, even if it's Kragthorpe) in there was a horrible coaching decision. Miles kept saying he owed it to the seniors this year not to plan for next year. How about what he owes to the freshman-juniors on the team? I'd sure be upset if I heard that from my coach's mouth, especially if I was defensive player. But, it's the Miles' way. He's done it since he got here. It's the price you pay for a stubborn coach who's stuck in the '80's offensively. Just be thankful he's a great recruiter and also for Chavis. Without those 2, we'd be Vandy without the grades.

Its funny how true freshman Kyle Allen can be ready at A&M in a pass happy offense, meanwhile BH isn't ready in one of the most run oriented offenses in the nation. Give Les a raise

1. How was he ready 2 months ago if he isn't ready now?

He probably wasn't. The coaches may have wanted to see if he was a "gamer" and looked better in a game than in practice. Or they may have wanted to see if he was "more ready" than Jennings.

2. If he isn't ready after being with the team nearly a year, isn't that the fault of the coaches?

---

No. There are some occupations that take more than "nearly a year" to master for all but a very very select few. While playing QB at a major college may not be brain surgery, I'm not sure I'd like the one operating on me or the other leading my favorite team after a few months on the job.

3. Based on AJ play, how can you conclude he is ready?

---

Maybe he's not but after weighing the evidence of the "2 months ago" situation mentioned in your #1 question the coaches came to the conclusion that Jennings was "more ready". Or maybe they figured Jennings has been ruined already and throwing Harris into the fire a second time might ruin him as well if he performs like he did the first time.

Im confused as well so can harris not hand the ball of 85% of the time? and throw a pass the other 15% of the time

This is the absolute only defensible excuse the coaches could have to not make the change. I think it is shortsided, but at least it would be one being made with intentions to better the team going forward.

Here is how that decision went down.

Cam: les, you know, Brandon looked pretty good last night against NMSU. Maybe we should start him at AU

Les: meh, why not, he can't do worse

Fast forward one week

Les: I was wrong.


I still think Harris should start against the Aggies.

4. We've only scored 2 touchdowns in the last 12 quarters of play. How can CLM continue to say AJ gives us our best chance at victory?
