re: Possible theories for Harris not playing against Arkansas...

From what I've picked up on around campus, it is a mixture of B Harris postgame interview at Auburn where he is clearly being a smartass. Idk if he is just upset at the games ending, or if he really believes it was all the coaches fault. I watched Harris in the spring game and went to every home game this year. I think he has the more upside and skill set, but everyone brags about Jennings work ethic. He's the first one in the film room, and the last one out of it. He tries to improve, but to no avail. I love and support both QBs because they wear the P&G, but I wish we had a clear cut starter that way none of this would be happening. Fans are tearing apart two teenage kids, sending death threats and harassing messages, all because the effort they gave didn't meet expectations.

lol wut?

the one where he said he played poorly and needs to do better?


You should be banned for bashing a player with more lies, pumper scum.

this isn't the first time I have seen people act like Harris has a great track record and crazy Les just refuses to budge

I don't think that's the case. People are well-aware that Harris needs to improve. He needs to play in order to improve. Why put yourself in a scenario to yet again have an inexperienced QB next year because you didn't play Harris this year even when the starter wasn't getting it done?

That said, I am ready for Harris. Please start him Les.

Okay, now I'm not sure what your point was, but

#4, somewhat agree with #1 but there is no reason to not play Harris in the Ark game with Jennings having the worse game since he was named the starter. The team needed a spark and Harris may have provided that. Why didn't Miles play Harris early so to gain some experience? If Miles really believes that Jennings gives the team the best chance to win then why did he start him against Auburn? Just Les being Les. History supports this.

Two summers ago, Harris' senior yr, I was watching one of ESPN's shows on elite football camps & Harris was one of the QB's being showcased on t.v. Don't recall who the "expert" was, a former college All American QB, but he said then that Harris was "extremely raw" & would need a lot of time to be ready to run an offense in college. Said the talent was there, just not the experience required. In the talent competition, Harris came in 2-3rd to last as I recall.

I don't think Les has a clue to his own thinking! You watch Jennings will start against A&M. What does it matter if the team has one more loss. Look what happened against Auburn when A&M put in their other QB. Bad thing is Harris doesn't see the field enough to gain some experience at this point of the season. Should have played early. If Les doesn't change his ways then he we be in the same situation next year because Harris will be gone! Wake up Les your job may depend on it but I don't expect he will!

I guess my point was that I understand why Les stuck with Jennings. However, I feel that even those reasons have now run their course. When Jennings was winning games and making just enough plays to get us through it made sense.

I think it's a combination of 3 and 4.

This (I reckon)

I think miles will not take chances with this team. the problem is if you take a chance and it doesn't work then the game is lost. we can't come back from a bad mistake. we are then forced to take another chance and we are not equipped to do that.

les doesn't have a bad philosophy for this year's team. he should tinker around with it some but nothing major. he could use Harris like he used RP but with a few passes thrown in.

IDGAF if he's in the film room 24/7 if none of it is sinking in. Are grades earned by how many hours a student spends studying or how they perform on the exam. He is getting a big fat F on his exams

Just because he's in the film room 24/7 doesn't mean he is awake and/or paying attention all of the time. Or perhaps he's majoring in Football Videography (is there such a thing at LSU?). If he studies it all that much, perhaps in 15-20 years you will see his name emerge as a candidate for a coaching position somewhere. Who knows? I do say, though, that if I spent that much time in the film room, my eyes would be shot and I couldn't see the field because of the images I have stored in my memory--possibly those few instances of success I had. Seems like a player (like Mett) who works with other teammates might be more successful than one who has delusions of grandeur.
