And, Harris must have shown the coaches something special. As a true freshman, he got playing time in the first half, at a neutral site, against a top 15 team, while we were losing. Him getting any snaps is pretty freaking impressive. Either he has really impressed the staff in practice, or Jennings has not pulled away.



I really don't agree with your logic.

In my opinion, the coaching staff is trying to go from 0 legit QB options to 1. Once they feel like they have 1, it's over barring a major change.

When Harris played, Jennings was also struggling...and Harris was totally overwhelmed.

I think they continue to let Harris get playing time. And, if Harris somehow starts to advance quickly, maybe something changes. But, at this point, I'd put the likelihood of that somewhere close to 5-10%.

It's definitely weird that the LSU head coach would get all stubborn about what the fans know best.

I don't think either is Cam's guy. I'm sure they hoped that one QB would win the job without question. And I doubt they care who. They just want someone to step up and be a great QB. Neither has done that in practice.

And while Jennings has been decent enough to win a few games, he's not been very good. A lot of that has been play calling in his 2 starts. And I don't think either QB will look good with that play calling.

But, I do think that Harris getting snaps in that situation says a lot. Either they really like Harris, or they don't think Jennings has separated himself enough to keep a true freshman from coming in during that situation.

my logic is similar to yours. I just don't think a mediocre game from Jennings has given him a 95% chance of not losing his job.

I doubt Harris sees much time at all.

We have a starting qb who has never played 2 weeks in a row and we're focused on our freshman backup? How bout we keep the main thing the main thing?

No. He's a dumb coach and will not do anything to develop Harris. Seriously. For real. I mean . . . like really . . . like you said so eloquently . . . e.g. Mettenberger, J. Lee etc. Need we say more? I just can't watch him drive this program into the ground any longer.

Yes. Not 50/50, but yes. Both are going to play this season. For a long time most thought he had won the starting job. He hadn't people thought that because he is showing lots of promise in practice.

Ugggghhh.. you still don't agree!!! Think about this. He got playing time in a huge game while were were losing. That doesn't happen unless he is going to get snaps later on.

Harris is Cam's guy. He recruited him. Jennings was at LSU when Cam arrived.

This thread is retarted. After Saturday when Jennings runs the O to perfection, and Harris looks lost, can we please just get behind Jennings this year? Harris will get his, but it won't be this year as a True Freshman. . .

I agree that there are times when he appears to be insanely stubborn. Weird.



Maybe you're the one who is being stubborn. Maybe he is doing exactly what he's supposed to and your expectations and opinions are off base. You ever think of that?
