re: You know it's gonna take 2 losses before Miles starts Harris, right?

You know what's funny. Is I actually agree with the theory of this. I don't think there will be a two quarterback system. And if there is, I really don't agree. Both have similar skill sets. It's not like dual threat vs. a pocket passer. There's no reason to play both. Name a start. Center the offense and run with it. If after half the season the offense is subpar make a change. That's what happened when I played football(albeit high school). Doesn't matter who starts. I believe in picking one starter. If there are two or three losses by November no matter who is the starter expect a change. Too much talent to ride it. This year is definitely a let's see who the stars are.

Look there is a chance to stars could align and we make a run, but the rational thought is that we take a couple of losses, figure out who are the stars on this team and make a run next year.

Both quarterbacks have potential to be stars. It doesn't matter. Just support the team.

I'm not saying Lee was John Elway, just using it as an example of Les refusing to bench a QB that was playing horribly for most of his career. I'm hoping this doesn't happen again this year if Jennings indeed plays below average.

What did Jennings do to make you think this might happen? Guy had one great outing and one ho hum outing as a freshman. Now he's JJ?

This is probably some sad defense mechanism.
He predicts poor offensive performances and 8 win seasons so, if we win more he's happy to be wrong. But if we win 8 or fewer, he can be a self-righteous prick who thinks he's smarter than everyone.

Let's not sensationalize his Arkansas game drive. He threw an long TD to a WR who was open by 20 yards against a winless team in the SEC.

so he's a bad QB because he hit a wide open receiver?! how many times did JJ do that? how many times did Lee do that? how many times did Mett do that!? do they all suck because they hit a WR who was "wide open"

suddenly Arkansas got reduced to being John Curtis because they didn't win a conference game last year. grow up kid, seriously. we play in the toughest division of the toughest conference in the country. that "winless team" was giving us their best because we are their superbowl each and every year, they were beating us with Mett starting AND every running back we had healty AND one of our two top receivers still playing. so no oversensationalization of the game-winning pass is needed. it was fricking sensational and we'll talk about it if we damn well want.

Yay! I was the 40th downvote!

Maybe you'd feel more comfortable pulling for Louisiana Tech or Tulane? You never contribute anything positive, just a bunch of crying about the HC. Your input is not needed.

Leslie will make the conservative call and start Jennings.

If Jennings had started several games last year, I would agree, but 1.25 games of experience isn't enough to trump Harris, if he is the better QB. Neither guy has experience, so I think CLM will let the best one start.

I also do not understand this enthusiasm for Harris when both of them have similar skill sets. They both have strong arms. They both run the ball well. I was impressed with Jennings in the Arkansas game. The bowl game was about what I'd expect with a true freshman starting his first game as a BOWL GAME, on a wet field. He got the win and didn't lose the game. I stopped putting any stock in spring games when Jordan Jefferson was lighting it up in 2011.

I think both of these QBs could win a lot of games.........and eventually an SEC championship..........for us. I just want them to start the one that the coaching staff thinks is the most ready.

Solid post and I agree with just about everything except that Harris clearly has a stronger arm. Not to say he is necessarily a better QB, and I agree that both QBs have the potential to win a lot of games for us in the next few years.
