This is nothing more than a player who missed almost a year of football including spring while learning a new up tempo offensive system.


There's more to it than that. Some of the issues he's having are the same issues he had a ASU. See one scouting report before this season:

quote:

Leavitt is a toolsy dual-threat with a loose, effortless motion, deep-ball touch on a clean platform and the athleticism to turn broken plays into positive ones, and he takes care of the ball. However, the arm is only average, so vertical shots lose life and deep placement wavers, he is slight at 200 pounds and needs functional mass, he over-relies on off-script creation rather than on-schedule rhythm


That is what we've seen thus far. So it is not simply just a matter of being "rusty" and in a new system. Those are traits seen in his play throughout his career.

quote:

doesn’t have that alpha receiver like Burrow and JD had now that Green is out.


I agree.

I trust kiffen and Weiss to get him there sooner rather than later.


I don't think he ever gets to that level. But I do have confidence Kiffin and co. will find a way to tailor the offensive approach to fit Leavitt's strengths...even if that isn't as a rhythm passer.

...with a hit?

I kinda get the feeling Sam's that kind of competitor but just hasn't had it knocked into him yet, so he's still a bit skiddish.


He def seems scared and that he lacks confidence throwing the ball after sitting last year. I think he has it in him to turn it around, but I also would have him on a short leash moving forward considering some must win games coming up. That is if CLK believes one of the other QBs has the possibility to make us better in the passing game. If Leavitt is truly so far ahead of the others, then we have to endure whatever comes

Too late, Ole Miss threw him on his head.

That is the most OVERRATED play of the last 10 years (maybe more) of LSU football. Burrow was a great competitor BEFORE that play. He didn't suddenly change his entire demeanor as a football player simply because he got the wind knocked out of him.


It might not have changed him that much as a player, even though I’ve heard a few different players from various teams mention that play specifically in interviews. It doesn’t mean anything, but that play definitely changed my opinion of him.

SL cant even say JBs name, much less play like him.

Catch a grip man. But it would be ok, because Clark would take over

Someone needs to "level" your posting ability.

Burrow also had Joe Brady… Coach O wasn’t winning shite until Brady came along and saved the day.
