Harris has had the whole summer to work with the team and receivers. If you read what Tommy Clapp said about his growth in understanding of the offense and game as well as his improved passing, it would seem that this may have changed the balance between them.
This should have been evident for a long time. Refer back to my post about who throws the football better. Need proof? Re-watch the spring game. Harris throws a frozen rope between 2 defenders for a TD, great pass, perfectly placed, WR had to work for it but that is their job. Jennings on the other hand has a wide open guy in the middle of the field and fires on to about the upper deck of the stadium lights. Thing had Ray Guy hang time on it. That for me is the end of the discussion.
Hits just keep on coming......... Former LSU DB Rashard Robinson arrested and admitted to being in apartment belonging to QB Anthony Jennings Advocate staff photo by BILL FEIG -- Texas A&M wide receiver Mike Evans (13) is stopped after the catch by LSU defensive back Rashard Robinson (21) during the second half in LSU's Tiger Stadium. LSU won 34-10. Ross Dellenger| [email protected] July 31, 2015 Comments Former LSU defensive back Rashard Robinson was arrested for unauthorized entry into the apartment of Tigers quarterback Anthony Jennings on the same June day that Jennings and two other football players were booked in a separate incident. Records obtained by The Advocate show that Jennings filed a report with LSU Police on June 10 for items he claimed were stolen. In the report, he accused Robinson of being in his apartment. Robinson, suspended from the team last fall and then dismissed after the season, later admitted to being in the home and was arrested on June 12. Authorities could not link Robinson to the stolen items, the report states. LSU receiver Malachi Dupre, Jennings' roommate, spotted Robinson in the apartment and told Jennings, the affidavit said. Robinson told police the apartment was unlocked and he entered to use the restroom, according to the affidavit. Also on June 12, Jennings, defensive back Dwayne Thomas and defensive lineman Maquedius Bain allegedly walked into another student’s apartment to retrieve items stolen from Jennings. They were arrested for unauthorized entry into a dwelling six days later. The news of Robinson’s arrest emerged hours after East Baton Rouge District Attorney Hillar Moore announced he was not charging Jennings, Bain and Thomas with crimes. Contacted Friday evening, Moore said Robinson’s case was sent for pretrial diversion but was rejected. Moore has not reviewed the case. “I’m assuming he may have other issues,” Moore said about the case being rejected. When contacted about Robinson, LSU spokesman Michael Bonnette issued the following statement: “He’s not part of the program. I have no idea what his future holds, but it’s not at LSU.” Robinson posted a $2,000 bond two days after his arrest, court records show. On June 10, Jennings reported stolen a MacBook Air, three pairs of shoes and a PlayStation 4. Jennings told police Bain had retrieved the laptop from Nicholas Anderson, who bought it from a person nicknamed “Doodaman,” the report says.
I mean Jesus if he really wanted to take something from Jennings all he would have to do is defend a pass. And Doodooman is slanging hot shit around campus. Nice.... This whole thing stinks, and it shows that Jennings can't make big boy decisions namely not getting your teammates involved in situations like this. He is supposed to be a leader, and I don't mean leading his teammates into criminal activities. Stolen stuff or not. And Rashard Robinson needs professional help. All the talent in the world and is stealing from his teammates. I really hope Les does the right thing and at least starts Harris.
I agree with you, but I will say, if you have ever had something stolen from you, you get how infuriated Jennings may have felt and how irrational his thought process and actions may have been. When someone steals something of meaning/value from you, you feel violated. When you're young, instead of thinking, " I need to tell someone of authority," your first thought tends to be "I'm going to get that SOB and get my shit back." Again, I'm not defending his or others actions, just trying to elucidate the thought process, or "reactionary" process. Side story: I lived on Walmsley Ave (in N.O.) across from Dominican HS late in my 20s. I was cutting my grass, stopped to put gas into my weedeater, and realized my phone was ringing. My dad, who was old, was leaving a message, so I ran inside, answered, and chatted a few minutes. When I went back outside about 5min. later, I went to grab my weedeater, and it was gone. I was baffled at first. Looking around, I saw a few kids riding bikes a few blocks down carrying what looked like my weedeater. Boy, I was pissed. Reactively, I started running to try to catch them. As I entered their neighborhood, it hit me that this wasn't a good idea, and "it's just a weedeater", not worth my life. But, I'll tell you what, my blood was boiling, and I was ready to get my shit back. Thankfully, I turned around. In that same house, I also had someone kick a window in trying to break in. The alarm went off, nothing was stolen, but just seeing glass on the ground and knowing someone was trying to steal from me made me feel....violated was the best word I could think of at the time. just saying.......AJ may have felt this way, and instead of handling it rationally, he handled it reactively. Doesn't mean he's a bad person, or won't mature and make better decisions later. i get the argument that a "QB" should make better decisions, but he's young and still human.
