Yeah, let's talk about the game where our RBs averaged 2.7 ypc and Jennings was constantly running for his life without Vadal and Porter to protect him.

Actually ref TOOK Bama game away. Punt to the 1 foot line was placed as if it had gone into the end zone.

I really don't think Miles is that stupid. I really believe the criteria he uses to pick a starting QB has little to do with ability or winning. I suspect Miles has trust and confidence problems that cloud his judgment meaning his primary motive is fear. He picks the QB that he's most comfortable with regardless of ability, potential, or performance.

"Outside of NMST and Ole Miss, he usually made the correct decision. His problem was always physical, not mental."

Jennings made his decision coming out of the huddle. We knew, where he was throwing or running before the snap. Never looks at a secondary receiver and cannot throw short and medium routes. He does have nice touch on his long ball but otherwise, he's a pretty bad QB

So, under what circumstance was Connor Neighbors his primary read?

Who said Jennings was starting

this and the post that "miles will play the QB who gives us the best chance to win" are the only two reasonable statements in this whole god-forsaken thread.

Ooooo yep that's really obvious that the coaches are using Jordan Jeffersons clone to stink it up until Harris is ready sure thing boss....



Jordan Jefferson didnt suck his entire career. The posters that say he did dont know shite about football. He wasnt good in 2010 but his numbers in 2009& 2011 were decent.
If you think 2166 yards 17td -7 ints 61 completion % 137.2 qb rating is horrible then you dont know shite about football. Period


ETA: HE WASNT GOOD IN 2010.

Hopefully Harris decides to study the playbook and game film



Well yeah, hopefully, but if Jennings starts all season and we lose 4 or 5 games, then whether Harris is doing his homework or not will be a moot point.

The blame will be squarely on the shoulders of the Head Coach. Not many coaches would have stuck with a guy who was DEAD LAST statistically in the SEC. That makes no sense, None.

Teams all over the country were starting Freshman, 3rd and 4th stringers and winning, even NC.

No, I'm not a coach, but it doesn't take 1 to see a team commit season suicide. I'm not saying Les is stubborn, but I'm not saying he's not. You can't just sit there picking your nose, chewing grass while your teams implodes on the field week after week.

At some point you have to give up on what you think will work and try something new. Not only try something new, but give it a fair chance to work.

Miles has shown in the past that he will always go with the better QB, the one who gives LSU the best chances of winning. No matter how unpopular that decision is with the dumbass portion of the fan base who may be in love with a particular QB.


Agreed. Any poster that thinks Miles chooses his qb for any other reason than giving lsu the best chance to win, is retarded.

First, of the 3 Qbs that "Miles" sent to the NFL, 2 were tutored by Jimbo Fisher. Who sent Josh Booty, Rohan Davey, and Matt Mauck, before Miles arrived. And has sent Ponder, Manuel, and Winston since he left? And Mett got experience at 2 others places before Miles 'sent' him to the NFL 



Its laughable you move the goal post for Miles but not other coaches.


You are a dumbass. Mett was on UGA'S campus for a total of 5 months. He also showed vast improvement at lsu.

Um, no it won't. Same number of championships (1) and same number of teams. You can argue that it makes it harder for overrated, and easier for underrated, teams, but overall, it's the same odds.

Youre a dumb arse. You cant be a LSU fan.
Miles has sent Russel,Flynn,Mett, Perriloux( you dont give miles credit for Mett because he was at UGA for 5 months, so Miles gets RP)

Here's what you're missing: if Harris was behaving immaturely, and not putting in the work, you can't start him. It would ruin him. You would never get him to grow up, because he wouldn't see the need to. I'm not saying this was definitely the case, but there's a lot of smoke around this.

The salient fact is that we fans don't really know why Harris was not given a chance over the last quarter of the season. He certainly was given ample opportunities before that, though.

You just trying to start shite, he didn't say this at all!!! Actually said both have matured and said Harris looked much more comfortable with play calling and doing the things they asked of him. Said Jennings looks more comfortable too, but mentioned BH first btw. Said now they can focus more on throwing the football and working with WR/QB relationships. Also said they will be throwing the football A LOT this spring offseason. Sounded very pro Brandon H to me!

Okay, I'll bite, what smoke? Legitimate smoke? Or Rant smoke?

Would you say that Winston behaves maturely?
