Harris thinks he is the better qb, and he could be right. But he still needs to support Jennings and I don't see that from him.

Okay I get that and I get he gives everything he has for the team...but he's struggled a lot...you can't get any worse putting Harris in?



What if you put Harris in and he can't even score 0 points? That's a risk we just can't take.

You do realize we put up a big fat 0 this weekend with Jennings?

Yeah, would that 0 be any worse than the 0 we just hung on Arkansas? Couldn't be much worse.

When did you see this? All I've seen is Harris standing next to Kragthorp with the headsets on.

Harris seems to have Reuben Randle face-syndrom, which makes people think he has "bad attitude"

WTF does this even mean? What exactly have you seen from Harris on the sideline to make you think that? I really can't believe the stupid shite people run with sometimes.


Harris just mopes around with the headset on during games. I watch him every week. Do you ever see him next to Jennings or Kragthorpe on the sideline discussing things? Next to Kragthorpe when he's giving signals?

Literally never. If you aren't playing, you should show the coaches that you are making every effort possible to improve yourself and also to be supportive of your teammates.

Harris' confidence is shot (coaches' fault), and his attitude is shot too (his fault).

When Harris went in against Kentucky, they literally had to go find him. He was just pacing the bench with his headset on, no where near the sideline.

His first throw was a pick. From that point on, I really wasn't sure how much more he could give us this season.

However, he should be given a shot.

If this is the case, it's on the coaches for both IMO.



I saw Harris patting Jennings on the back after a pick or something, trying to be supportive.


I see what you mean with the "moping" look but I think it's just that, how he looks. I don't think it's indicative of how he feels. But that's just me.

Agreed

I said on the scoreboard that I never saw harris in any of the sideline shots from Saturday

Someone said he was standing there wearing a coat and a beanie except the two times he warmed up. So perhaps his engagement is part of the problem.

He is just an 18 yr old kid playing in his third season of football. Maybe he is in over his head and has withdrawn? I can understand his frustration but I hope he competes this week and forces them to play him at TAMU

Rabble rabble rabble I know nothing about the team chemistry or what goes on outside of camera pans to the sideline during games so I'll form a ridiculous theory and run with it as fact rabble rabble

He's always either by Kragthorp or by the offense. What more do you want him to do?

You have no idea if he's being supportive or not.

You've made a lot of assumptions based on the kid's facial expressions.

Harris will play against TAMU. Miles is taking a beating from the fan base and the local media. With all the stuff being said about Harris pondering the idea of transferring, Miles knows this is the end of the line as for proving his point to Harris. LSU will be the biggest loser if Harris does not play against TAMU. At that point, he could be gone for good. I do not want to see a real talent leave the team or the state. Miles needs Harris more than Harris needs him. If Harris does not play against TAMU, then he is gone. If so, LSU better recruit the JUCOs hard ASAP!

Next year, LSU could have a losing season without any offensive adjustments and two promising QBs in Patterson and the kid out of FL might go elsewhere based on negative recruiting and LSU being a run heavy team. Miles nor Harris is bigger than LSU, but this BS has to stop before the TAMU game, or it could get ugly. Then Miles will be putting his comfort zone (Job) on the line...then the TAF needs to get involved because Joe Alleva may not have the 'Chest' to bump Miles in a man-to-man manner.

If Joe Alleva really wants to apologize to somebody...he needs to apologize to LSU fans for the poor offensive coaching this team has experienced this season without any adjustments. At least Coach Chavis may some changes and it made a difference in the play of the team, defensively. There is no excuse for the offensive mess...What happened to the TE involvement in the offense...this is the third or fourth year we saw this BS.

He's for sure more talented than Jennings. I think if he just matures a little bit and becomes a little more engaged (like you said), he'll be very good for us.

This has been a tough season for both quarterbacks. Hopefully it makes them better down the line.

Are you on the sidelines? I sit about 20 rows up right behind the LSU bench. Harris is always right by the offense with the headsets on.

He really should start, at this point.

Or at least they could re-open the quarterback competition during the bye week, like aTm did during theirs.

Miles took a beating with Jarett Lee and JJ...and he still was indecisive...I think Miles is a great coach and I don't want him gone like these rantards. I just know Harris needs a chance before this season is over...if not I don't think we see him leave but there will def be some tension
