    Harris has already shown he can and will perform like Mettenberger in terms of a talented arm.

    Kid needs reps.

    There is a lot more to being a quarterback than having a huge arm. Yes he has a powerful cannon, but he couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat.

    I'm not sure what to say about that.

    Jennings has an untalented arm and has not shown the propensity to play the position well from a cerebral standpoint. So there's that.

    true. actually the biggest reason is harris cant make the right call then get the players lined up correctly when jennings can. but that comes with reps vs cupcakes.

    Agree as I pointed out in an earlier post both Jennings and Harris need game experience both to improve and to differentiate between them.

    You don't know that about either of these quarterbacks. You can't. No one can.

    But did you enjoy that screen door play that got a big gain?

    Don't you think that was smart under the circumstances? We don't have the kind of quarterbacks that we can take big risks with. Not unless we are hopelessly down with nothing to lose. Why risk a won game?
