re: What tool or skills does each QB have over the other based on scouting reports?

Did you watch the game? Jennings ran one option play on the 2 yard line for a TD.
Jefferson ran for a few TDs at the goalline too. didn't make him an option QB.

He came in last out of 7-8 other qbs.
Good arm, just needs lots of work.
Jesus. Why does Louisiana suck at having good QBS?

Let's hope he's better than JJ.
He didn't look good yesterday, but 1st start and all that.

to be fair, 99% of HS QBs have accuracy problems coming out of HS
Harris is legit.

WTF does that have to do with your insane assertion that Les is trying to make Jennings an option QB?
We ran 95% prostyle offense against Iowa

A masterful game winning drive against arky mixed with yesterday's performance shows us that.....well, he's somewhere int the middle.
We will see, and yet again, another spring will be riveting.
Marcus Randall had a great debut too. The arky drive was great, but the majority of it was one large pass. It wasn't like it was a methodical drive or anything.
Jefferson hit on long passes too and looked good at times. But, he was mostly bad due to poor pocket awareness.

Why are you comparing him to Jefferson in every thread? Completely different players.
Because the positigers followed him blindly, because he was LSUs qb, regardless of what they saw. Which makes them TRUE fans............according to them.
Akin to all of these democrats who blindly followed Obama and voted for the afa. Only when it's too late do they say,,,,,,"uh oh, we need to change this".

the pass out of the endzone over the defender, the scramble, the pass to the sideline..
It was executed perfectly.

No doubt. I think Harris needs a few years to hone his mechanics. So, it's up to Rivers or Rettig to unseat Jennings, who should have played himself out of a starting gig yesterday.
I know Harris is legit because other schools actually want him, i.e. Bama.

One of my biggest concerns is how much Jennings played like JJ yesterday. When you watch Jennings in the Arky game, he made plays with his arm and legs. He also had tremendous pocket awareness--all things that we didn't see against Iowa. Could it be that Les coached him to never take off running, and to play stiffer than a board? I would assume if my coaches showed no confidence in my abilities, I would possibly doubt myself and be rattled before the game even started. Just an observation.

Well, he tried to run a short-side option too that didn't work out.
Jennings is better probably having pro-style offense with some read option trickled in. I was disappointed not to see a single read option play.

And the fact that it actually worked for us...........instead of getting derailed makes it special.
Had he scrambled more against Iowa, the score would have been 37-20.

Pretty sure Jennings won the Elite 11 QB challenge in HS. UGA didn't offer him because they already had their QB commit for the year.

Then you are blind. There were a handful of read option plays where Jennings gave the ball to the RB.

it was a great drive. But let's not act like it was Elway's drive or anything.
All I'm saying is that it would be unfair and detrimental to the team to go in to spring with Jennings as the favorite. It should be wide the frick open. Jennings lost that luxury with his terrible play yesterday.

I know. The scary thing is both he and JJ would show glimpses and do just enough keep les on their dick.
I"m afraid we're gonna get screwed again for 3 seasons of shite QB play like we did with JJ. I know that may be unfair to AJ, but seeing him hold on to the ball forever and have great protection only to run into a sack looked a little too fricking familiar.

I don't put much stock in Elite 11 challenges. I put stock in which schools have a committable offer for him.
why did UGA pass on him in favor of the other guy? Why did Clemson pass on him in favor of someone else? Why did Tennesssee pass on him in favor of Riley Ferguson? Why did Bama pass on him in favor of cooper Bateman?
That has to bring up at least a little curiosity, right?

If those were true Read-option and not just a handoff, Jennings did a terrible job reading the back side DE and did a terrible job making it look like there was even a remote possibility of him keeping it, which goes to prove that Les might be trying to make a prostyle QB an option QB.

but he played himself out of the starting spot yesterday IMO.
Wow.
A true freshman in his first start on the road in a bowl game against a team who's only loses were against Mich St OSU Wisc and N Ill 45-6 combined and all bowl bound.
But he's done according to you?
Who plays best will be our starter next year. period. Unless of course you think Les will start the guy who gives us the best chance to lose because Les really really likes to lose over winning games.

Keep talking in circles. On both the read option plays I remember, Jennings rode the ball hard, then handed it off when the backside DE didn't crash, exactly what you are suppose to do.
