Did you read the 1st post in this thread? Take a second, read it, and get back to me. There is a difference in what I have said and what you are saying I said.
Did I read the post I wrote? Yes. You are saying DO NOT PLAY JENNINGS, play Harris and only Harris. To that I'm saying, you are effectively making the argument for how Miles has handled QBs since he's been here. Hitting the ganja tonight?
No dude he's saying aj was the chosen one and Harris got his one start. Miles hitches himself to jj regardless if Lee is 9-0 and leading the league in passing efficiency. Miles likes who he likes. Will miles give the same leeway to Harris with a pick or 2 vs state. Not likely but let's see how it plays out. Remember Harris almost bailed ajj out in 3 minutes when Jennings had 57 minutes of subpar play. At best.
I'll be disappointed if we ride Harris into the dirt and even more so if we ride Jennings into the dirt. What I don't understand is the desire to ride either QB in the dirt, what 123 has clearly stated as his preference - he just disagrees with Miles on which QB that should be. Miles wasn't the only one who wrote off Lee, but lucky for LSU, neither those fans nor Miles had a choice. Disagreeing with how Miles uses QBs doesn't mean you should use his mindset but with a different QB.
Look dude. Harris needs game time. Pulling him every 3-4 series, like you said in your OP is stupid. You change nothing. Jennings had all year to create a spark.
Who said ride them into the fucking dirt? YOU DID... Lets revisit your OP: Take a minute, or even a full day and re-read what you said. This thread is about this game...
He has a good point, what he's saying is people are asking for Les to use Harris this year like Jennings was used last year and everyone complained about.
There is a difference in giving a QB a few games to work it out vs a season. It's not like there is some new QB on the team. Harris needs at the least, a few games. On the road, at home, etc. If it doesn't work out, we are screwed. Simple as that. Zero depth at the position.
Harris needs the opportunity to showcase his skills and leadership of this team. Pulling him after a mistake or even three is flat out stupid. Now pulling him because he looks completely lost out there and is clearly not ready (2014 Auburn Game) is a completely different scenario, but I just don't believe Harris is still at that level of inexperience so I don't think he should be pulled period. Also, I feel like State is so overrated that even Jennings could go in and win this game with the talent difference between these 2 teams. Regardless, LSU should win this game or we have some serious issues, I am sticking to that.
I don't disagree, I think circumstances are different this year and due to those circumstances being different you almost need to take the same approach you took last year, even though last year that approach was the wrong approach. This year I think it's the right approach if that makes sense. Les is paid to win games now, not prepare for wins next year, and I think that's what his mindset was. I'm not gonna lose with Harris just to get him experience.
