AJ has been with the team just short of two full seasons and played one full. He's arguably regressed, this with an incredible O Line and stout running game.

I'm no QB guru but what stands out is that he struggles if his primary is covered and is unable to improvise and make plays happen. That should not be happening at this point.

My concern is that Miles will stick with AJ (like he stuck with Welter -clearly longer than he needed to) because we have a stout running game and all Miles thinks he needs is a game manager.

The result will likely be 2 more years of offensive mediocrity and our stellar freshman class will leave after their junior year and AJ will leave turning the reigns of a depleted team over to Harris who will only have 1 year.

This team is primed to make a run the next 2 years. I'd hate to see Harris sit the bench and not have a shot to compete on the field. No better time now that this season is limited.

Get Harris on the field.

Or he will lose my support.


I can't stand the idea of another year next year with a one dimensional offense

This "Harris is not going to get his shot/transfer" is so fricking awful.

Why does anyone think that?

LOL Les had nothing to do with Welter starting. Where do you clowns come up with this stuff?

Miles is paid $5 million to win games.

If he doesn't win, he has a chance to lose his job.

He's going to play the player that gives him the best chance to win today, not tomorrow.

In his eyes, that's Jennings.

The fans on here are famous for blaming any decision that doesn't go right on Miles and giving him zero credit for any good things that happen.

I agree with what you are saying in general. I think it's time to invest in Harris so that we aren't in the same spot next year.

HOWEVER, yesterday on Moscona's show he was talking about how Harris was not even capable of consistently getting the correct play called at the line for the Auburn game. It's possible that Harris really isn't a viable option...not matter how much we want him to be. I'd still play him, but I recognize that him playing more than 25% might not be possible.

Because people hate the idea that one day we might not have something to bitch about, so they make these projections as if they're fact and then bitch about these future "facts".

Even if splitting time causes a loss in the short term - something I strongly doubt because the current version of the passing game is largely ineffective and still turns the ball over - I still don't see how it wouldn't be worth it for the program going forward.

Harris' inexperience and lack of being able to handle pressure kills us. Jennings is the calm and colective QB right now, so let him play

Rabble Rabble Welter/Beckwith...Rabble

Does no one remember Beckwith turning a full 360 degrees around during one pass play OR one of our safeties having to physically put him in position pre-snap. Let's not all act like Welter was starting and Beckwith was clearly flawless. It's obvious the light has come on for Beckwith and that was a recent thing.
