proceeded to get in agruments with everyone and ended every post with "I said it couldn't hurt to have him out there." It was a weird sequence of posts.
Maybe he knows something about Whitfield, but if he did why didn't he say it. Maybe he knows Whitfield to be a completely incompetent idiot or something like that. Was very weird. HOw could someone argue against your teams QB going to a highly regarded camp. I don't know anything about Whitfield. Maybe he is regarded by people in the know to be an incompetent fool who tries to pass himself off as some kind of guru. What do people on here know about Whitfield? Who is he?

Miles wants to win more than anyone. He will start the guy who he thinks will help the team the most. You're ignorant if you think otherwise
Agree on his choice of starter being the guy he thinks gives his team the best chance.
What he fails to do is change it up when his starter isn't getting the job done by the 3rd or early 4th qtr.

Is this the camp that has the main focus on clipboard throwing ? If so, it will undoubtedly benefit BH. If this is not the camp I was thinking of, it won't matter for shite.

HOw's that? From what I read on those links just posted by Big Brod, Whitfield seems very legit. Harris seems to have come a long way since last season as has Jennings so it will probably be a battle for the starters spot down to the wire.

Miles doesn't care enough to prove a point to the fans or the media. In fact, 9 out of 10 coaches wouldn't care. That is the sure sign that you understand sports at only a Madden/local sports talk level, when you think winning coaches make big personnel decisions just to "prove something."
I've played and coached sports all my life, I think you missed the point. Why would you have enough certainty to start a Freshman in that situation and then have that much doubt to not play him again the rest of the season? Just like Lee going undefeated in 2011 an never playing another down when the starters having games were he throws for less than 100yrds

How many times does someone have to remind everyone that Harris sustained a high ankle sprain against Auburn and NO ONE on this board knows the severity of it or how it may have affected his practice time the rest of the way.

Even more reason AJ should never see the field again. After he realized he had no competition he looked like dog shite the rest of the way.
It just amazes me the amount of fans that defend Miles for the quarter back play. Those are the ones that don't understand football. When you are limited at QB you call plays to his strengths not force him to be something he is not.

Was Lee hurt in 2011? What will you come up with when Jennings starts, throws for 70yrds two picks and Harris never see the field. What coach have some of you been watching the last ten years?
I hope Harris starts because he has the talent to play in this league but if he does it would be uncharacteristic of Miles past history, he's liked Jennings from the beginning when he jumped him to second string behind Mett, the message was so clear internally that QB's jumped ship once the season ended.

There have been more than enough exceptions to this "rule" people have made up about Miles never making a change. This is all because he didn't play Lee on 1/9. Now people use that one game to describe his whole career.
2008-We all thought Lee was Les's boy and Jefferson would never see the field. Lee got hurt, but when he was healthy again Les didn't look for any reason to get Lee back on the field as some claim he did in 2011 just the other way around.
2010-We had a true 2-QB system going until Jefferson separated himself late in the year. Still, Lee (the backup) threw LOTS of meaningful passes that year that helped us win games.
2011-Jefferson played mostly in the second half after being insterted back in the lineup and it worked. The change of pace made it difficult for defenses to adjust and we were rolling along. When Lee struggled against Bama and he put Jefferson in, we won the game, and from then on he was throwing the ball well enough and the team chemistry was strong, so why mess with a good thing?
2014-BH wasn't ready, and was hurt. (from his own mouth).
1/9 happened, it confused and frustrated us all, but it's not a microcosm of his career like you assume. BH may not start, but he'll play enough-and if AJ struggles and BH plays well, BH WILL get the job. This is how it's always been with rare exception.

Jennings has "experience" now and doesn't ever take risks (because he isn't good enough), and those two characteristics will land him the starter position, no matter how good Harris plays. Miles is the most conservative of conservatives and QBs are only good to hand off the ball and make an occasional super-safe, non-risky throw. That's Jennings.
Harris will play in garbage time, but not much more.

That's all speculation an opinion that has been disproven numerous times. JJ took risks. Flynn took risks. Mett took risks. You're just making shite up to make yourself feel like you know what you're talking about.

No, they didn't. Neither had an arm good enough to try to thread needles. Harris does, and he takes risks doing it, and Miles doesn't like it.
quote:
Mett took risks.
He did, and the drop off between he and Jennings was enormous. Unlike now, where neither have separated themselves, one takes risks, the other doesn't.
Also interesting that my post was "speculation", yet you went on to opine about what's going on in my head.
