re: Do y’all think Leavitt sits next week against McNeese?

What would be your guess?

My guess is who cares.

Yes

It’s unfortunate for Sam and the tigers.He needs all the reps he can get and LSU can’t get better on offense if key players aren’t in the game.I don’t care who we play it’s about consistency and reps.

quote: "His first TD was an interception if the db had any type of skill. Underthrown to the inside is double bad".

The D.B. was basically Blind with his "head & back" away from the incoming pass & ball. His body was in the absolute Worst possible position to guard, defend, prevent, deflect, obstruct and "break up the pass". Since the defensive back was "blind" to the entire pass/play.....it allowed our wide receiver to suddenly reverse his route to catch a very poorly thrown ball!

If the A&M defender had not grossly misplayed his task/duty/ability to guard + cover our wide receiver to prevent him from catching the ball (out of position & blind)......he could/would have intercepted the pass, for he WOULD have been much closer to the ball than our wide receiver, and far more in position to catch the pass! It's just the simple truth.

The above observation & quote by "ChatGPT of LA" is a simple statement of Fact & Reality that the typical Tiger Dropper can not accept, and they thus remain in clinical "Denial" about what happened & what is!

This "Clinical Denial" runs rampant here on T.D. regarding what "has" actually occurred on the field, during the games and/or "is" occurring with various aspects, issues, mistakes amongst certain LSU players, plays & team in general!

Yeah, but that’s not the issue.

The issue is Leavitt needs the time off due tit he injury.

I hope not, we need him hobbled for Auburn.

Would love to see Longstreet in the 2nd half

I’m sure he wants to compete. He doesn’t sit.

He'll play, but it won't be for long. It'll likely be 31-3 at halftime and then Clark probably gets a quarter and a half and then Longstreet gets the last 8-10 minutes of the 4th.

The bottom line, which NO ONE can refute due to actual game-time performance comparisons, is that Clark has played every bit as good, and perhaps even better than Leavitt when you consider that Clark was playing with fellow 2nd, 3rd string teammates (offensive line, wide receivers, running backs.....while also playing against opponents 1st string defensive lines, linebackers, corner backs, safeties)!

And damned if it doe'nt appear that Clark might even be a Better Runner than Leavitt. There is not question that Clark is more confident, smoother, more in sync and has a better "feel/touch" on the ball.

Am I saying that Clark is definitely better? No. No One can say whether he actually Is or he Isn't. Because Clark has not been given nearly the same opportunity during prime/key game time play. Nor has Clark, the very little he has played, been allowed to play with the same caliper/talent level of players on offense than Sam has.

Do I think that the Coaches don't know what they are doing with our QB's? No. Do I think that Clark should start? It depends. Now that Leavitt is hurt, against McNeese - yes. In fact, I thought it might have been a good idea to run this trial/test "start" against Ole Miss, at least briefly to "See + Find Out" Clarks potential Upside. Especially since he could have been immediately pulled IF he struggled or was overwhelmed. In hindsight, after Leavitt's first half performance against Ole Miss is a matter of record, including us losing, it turns out that my idea/suggestion might have in fact been very wise!

Whether you "start" Clark or Leavitt does'nt fricking matter. What's the big deal with "starting" when you can immediately substitute/change QB's! If a QB, whomever, is doing Great....you leave him in. If not, you substitute. That's the whole point/idea! FIND OUT! Especially when one is struggling, making mistakes, passing poorly by overthrowing/underthrowing and not seeing wide open receivers all over the field - including in the end zone.

People get so freaked out & immediately "overreact". They literally shut down their cognitive abilities that prevents them from reading, thinking, considering how/what the plan, idea, options that were suggested - AND THE REASONING BEHIND IT. There are many here who "just can not do it". They are incapable. They have closed minds and are "Dense"!

As soon as the word "start" is used, or even just "play" Landon Clark, what immediately overtakes many people's brains.....and what they "see, hear, read, think".... is that you want to permanently replace Leavitt, throw him in the river and forget about him forever.

No matter how many times you remind them that Clark can be pulled at any time.....they simply can not conceive, understand or process it. Without really knowing how good (or bad) Clark might be.......any change petrifies them! They can not deal with the unknown, and thus their "fear based brain/outlook controls them to instinctively "stick with the status quo, current subpar play" rather than considering another possible option that might mean winning vs losing, a fabulous season and/or a playoff birth, etc.!

Despite having clearly stated my position, answers to specific questions about both Leavitt & Clark......all the downvoters saw/heard was that I think we should ELIMINATE Sam Leavitt from the team. Feed him to Mike the Tiger! That is the mentality of the average poster here @ T.D.
