Silver Lining for Levitt

The only real silver lining is he didn’t start throwing again until July. If he’s still not comfortable in the offense and playing too fast, he will get better.

The worry is he’s a one read QB who won’t take Kiffin’s coaching.

He’s a gamer for sure. Needs to get seriously better at passing.

JD had a dramatic improvement, so I think Leavitt can. But as of right now, he can’t throw very well

He’s got happy feet. He was jittery every time he took a snap in the first half.

If he doesn’t change his throwing motion it’s no saving him.

He already has more interceptions than Burrow and JD in year 1.

Only 3 games played.

A year 2 under Weis/Kiffin looking increasingly likely.

At a renegotiated price?

We'd also been in a much better spot if the offense could have moved the ball outside of the single drive in the 1st half. Baker deserves some shite but the whole team does. Offensive line was getting man handled every play in the first half. Levitt on plays even when he had time opted to tuck and run way too early. That was a team loss

Burrow had his struggles in year 1 and that was with a spring.

Burrow joined the team during the summer I think, he was not in Baton Rouge for the spring, I think he actually participated in spring practices with OSU.

Leavitt is a solid qb but he is really Johnny manziel 2.0. He has never been a consistent qb from the pocket and needs a strong running game to thrive. He lives on making a big play and his legs and that isnt a recipe for long term success. People forget Leavitt was a desperation move(thats why kiffin got on a plane to intercept him going to another visit ) Desmond williams was his 1st choice and went to Leavitt after they didnt get him.

He has no fundamentals what so ever for a guy who’s in his 4th year of P4 football. It’s possible he takes that 5th year leap, but it’s going to take a leap. I don’t see the downside of playing Clark who has the same package of talent, just younger.

From a new age roster management perspective, the millions of dollars they are spending on Leavitt could get you some serious IOL talent that could elevate the QBs and RBs. It’s going to be interesting to see how they play that this offseason, since Leavitt was atleast 3rd (4th if you count Chambliss) on their list for QBs.
