Didn’t Diego finish 2nd in the Heisman voting?

Is he comparing him to burrow and daniels. Or Jordan Jefferson and Anthony jennings?

There’s not really anything wrong with these comments. I don’t think it’s crazy to say he won’t be what LSU has had at QB recently (Burrow & Daniels). He can still be very good and not come close to that level.

Then the Pavia comment sounds bad because he’s turned into a huge douche, but on the field Pavia was a baller.

ETA: I don’t want an offense where the QB has to be Superman. I want an offense that makes the QB look like Superman.

It’s called lazy journalism
And what moronic coach agrees to these anonymous interviews

I’m 99 percent sure the author just makes shite up and claims it was a source.

Kiffin had a lot of choices this offseason and got the QB he wanted for his system. That alone should tell you all you need to know. Leavitt will function like a Jackson Dart until Lane finds the next Trinidad.

This. The best thing about Kiffin as a coach is the way he can adapt his offense to fit his roster

I trust lane will have him ready. If you watched leavitt's interview today, I think we are in good hands.

Right. Burrow and Daniels were the exceptions and had two of the best QB seasons of all time. Nuss and guys like that have been more what we have been used to. Guys who have some decent talent, but usually don't put it all together.

First, there were a bunch of QBs who were not available to Kiffin because they never considered transferring.

Second, Kiffin did not get the QB he wanted. Kiffin did not get his first choice: Trinidad Chambliss. Kiffin didn't get his second choice: Brendan Sorsby. Kiffin didn't get his third choice: Demond Williams Jr.

Third, Leavitt is terrific with his feet and at extending plays. His arm, however, has been a bit of a question mark. Last year, he had a 60.7% completion rate, and the year before, he had a 61.7% completion rate.

I believe Kiffin is the best QBC/OC combination in CFB. Kiffin will have Leavitt prepared, Kiffin will call plays that give Leavitt the best opportunity to succeed. I certainly hope Leavitt rises to the challenge, and I'm optimistic about this season.

I mean I guess if the bar they’re setting is the Heisman runner up then he can’t be that bad of a talent.

I remember anonymous SEC coaches criticizing Daniels and Burrow prior to their breakout seasons as well. I'm not saying Leavitt will put up their numbers, but Kiffin sure as hell seems like he's confident he got himself a winner at QB. I'll take his word for it.

All of this. Had we got Chambliss, we would have been considered a lock for the playoffs (possibly a championship caliber team if we got him and Lacy). Many do expect us to make it, but I'm talking about some people would have put us at 1 loss not 10-2, and i don't think anybody would have put us at 9-3. And Sorsby minus the gambling would have given us likely the same prediction. People may have questioned Williams's height in the SEC, but after mentions of Bryce Young and Pavia, that would have died down real quick. He has the arm talent and speed to dominate in the right system.

While Leavitt doesn't have a stronger arm than any of the 3 guys, he can definitely hold his own with his legs. Hopefully he has retained that and they allow him to do it. Just let him know he can't be taking hits. I still the Leavitt is fully capable of running this offense to perfection. He can throw plenty well and has help lead his team to a playoff run before. Remember, nobody but LSU wanted Burrow and Daniels when they left their schools.

Honestly this just speaks to how far we’ve come at the QB position bc even like a decade ago you’d be laughing them out the room for saying the normal talent level of a LSU QB is high

Let’s be real, we have some extreme highs but not exactly a QB factory, so this feels like dressed up version of just being like “well he’s no burrow or Daniel’s”
