That’s his push off foot too right? Better to have that injury with push off instead of plant.

The opposite is actually true. Your power comes from your back foot to start your throwing motion, much like a pitcher pushing off from the rubber.

Pepper at MMR has a contingency plan.

He should have included a pvc pipe in the pic.

Wrong. This isn’t an Achilles injury.
Plant foot is worse because the foot can’t move to absorb force as it’s locked against the ground.
It can’t slide or rotate freely
So any force from your body (or an external hit) gets transmitted directly into the joints and ligaments. That force has nowhere to go so it gets absorbed by the Lisfranc joint complex.

I’m speaking purely in terms of power generation to begin the throwing motion. It 100% starts with the back foot, in Leavitt’s case, the right foot that he injured. If you get hit from the front side, the knee will absorb most of the force, (the Tom Brady injury) which caused the NFL to change their rules. Leavitt’s right foot is also the foot he will push off from to tuck the ball and run.

Great news

The push off foot is literally the best of the two options to have that injury on. Less chance of re-aggravating it once he’s full go again. Maybe the push off foot takes a few more weeks to be full go on ( I don’t know I didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn last night), but long term outlook and for the season it’s the better of the two to have the injury on.

No it’s not, but if you’ve convinced yourself of this, then by all means keep posting this.

Again, not true. Ask any right handed QB which leg they prefer to be healthy and they will tell you their right leg. I could get into ground reaction forces and force generation principles, but I’ll spare everyone the physics lesson. The front foot is basically just a guide to make accurate throws. If Leavitt or any QB gets hit on the front leg while planted after a throw, the knee is at much greater risk for injury.

Pic looks like he’s in drivers seat. Epic that he drove back to dorm.

Looks like he's a Hydro shot spokesperson.
