He'll have the want to come in for a qb sneak.
Miles will label that as quality PT time for our backup qb.

The people that say this are seriously frick tards. How are snaps against Furman "meaningful"?
The practice that Jennings will get on a daily basis against the LSU defense will be light years more meaningful than playing in the second half against Furman. I guess this is just another reason for dipshits like you to bash Miles.

I think the point is more that if Mett got hurt, we would want a guy that is comfortable coming in and leading drives against a team besides the guys he sees everyday. You can say whatever you want,but it's not "the same" and if it were, coaches wouldn't be playing freshmen to get them experience

That wasn't his point. He very clearly said Mett won't be our QB in the future and that we would throw Jennings to the wolves against Wisconsin next year. That was CLEARLY discussing 2014.

No, it isn't the same because practicing against our defense is more meaningful than playing some snaps in the second half against Furman.

2 reasons why freshmen play
1) they are needed/more talented than the upperclassmen
2) to tell recruits "see, we play freshmen"

You talking about my OP? quote:

You don't understand what i'm trying to get across Coaches obviously think that early playing time is good for players, especially when you will be leading the team the next year. You can say "well he practices against LSU all day so there's no point in playing him he'll be tested".
There is a fundamental difference in throwing passes/leading drives in practice or scrimmage and doing the same in a live game w/ 70k people with guys from another team that want to blow your arse up. I don't even know why i'm arguing this.

No I am talking about the guy that I responded to an quoted. If that was you, then yes I am talking about you.

I don't either because it's pretty fricking stupid. If it was crucial to the development of Jennings' career to throw the ball 8 times against Furman for 73 yards and run for another 26 yards, then I think Cam and Miles would address playing him and getting him in there to play "meaningful snaps".

clearly, there is a difference, no one is arguing that
but how much does it really affect? especially when the talent level is no where near what he will be facing next year?
the point I'm trying to make is, it's not really that big of a deal

So it was me. Glad you answered your own question

No one said it was crucial. I just think he would benefit in doing more than a few quarterback sneaks when we are up 54-0 in the 4th

Bingo. The "speed" of this game can be simulated in practices next year with LSU's defense. Sure there is some difference between practice and being in a stadium and having to get signals from the sidelines and maybe audible once or twice. The difference is not some huge difference though and the original guy I quoted said something about throwing Jennings to the wolves against Wisconsin next year. The experience Jennings would get against Furman would be extremely limited.

I think my post was blown out of proportion. Maybe i worded it in a way that made it sound like it was an end of the world scenario--didn't mean to.
Anyway I realize this isn't a big deal, but I do expect to see him get more meaningful p/t this game and thus the question to see if anyone else had any opinions on just how much or what kind of plays he'd get. I must admit i didn't see him in the spring game so i would really like to watch the game just to see him play some

Honestly, the team needs to get their rythm and stride back. A game like Furman shouldn't be taken as a walk over. IF they play like they did agains Ole Miss, Furman could freaking win or make our program look poorly.
Jennings should get some snaps for development, but I would guess staying healthy might get him out there.

I'm talking more to the posters who criticize Miles for Jennings lack of playing time and call it "unacceptable" for him not to play

Actually no. The first person I quoted was Ruger and then you responded to that. So no, I was not at all talking about/to you or your OP. I was specifically referring to a comment made by Ruger. I am glad you can't even remember what you said in this thread.

Once again the original guy I responded to (which wasn't you) made a comment about throwing Jennings to the wolves next year, so apparently he does think that this playing time would crucial for Jennings in terms of next year.

I think everyone in the thread is in agreement about this. I would love to see him come in and play some and get to throw a couple of passes.
I just don't think we are throwing him to the wolves next season if he doesn't play in this game vs. seasoning him by playing him in this game.

Have I not explicitly stated enough times yet that it wasn't you that said that. I quoted and responded to "Ruger". He made the wolves comment. Not you. I know you didn't say that and I know you don't think that. That's why I quoted Ruger in my first comment.
