Les I agree with a lot of your takes but come on man, he’s leading the country in turnovers and you’re saying he’s not the problem ?


I stand on it sunny. It’s ok to disagree. His mistakes are exacerbated because of the condition of the rest of the offense.

In a higher functioning offense his ability to ad-lib looks like controlled chaos rather than death-defying stupidity.

You either think Trey Dez green was going to be the focal point of the passing game, or you don’t

I agree. The o-line and receivers around him aren’t doing their part. The o-line needs to be more consistent and the receivers just aren’t as consistent as years past. Too many folded pockets and too many dropped passes. Our o-line can’t even help establish a solid running game.

it was a bad judgment on his part, but he was trying to make a play. Also 3 OL were pushed into the backfield as he was trying to find an open WR.

The OL is BAD.

There is no real TE on the team.

The WR's are average at best.


Leavitt makes a lot of winning plays. He threw some nice balls yesterday, and his ability to run for 1st downs and in short yardage is taken for granted, I think. He can't do everything


These are all fair points, and accurate. I wanted Leavitt here as well…….BUT his decision making is bad, his footwork is bad, and he struggles with finding passing windows to help deter pass deflections at the LOS.

The good thing is that these issues are fixable, but they absolutely HAVE to be fixed. I like athletic QBs, but the biggest problem with them, is that they tend to rely on that…….and struggle operating from the pocket.

The ones that find a way to improve from the pocket, can be absolutely ELITE…….see Lamar and Josh Allen

That’s the issue; when there is a pocket he does well.

When there isn’t, he makes a play the majority of the time. (Which is obviously being taken for granted)

Then there are some scattered poor decisions on his part.

Explain how Sam missed Malachi Thomas wide open in the end zone on a simple mesh crosser. Basic read in the progression but Sam doesn’t take it and drifts backwards and tries a hero ball play again. Simple shite like that makes the tight ends and receivers look bad.



No it's all the OLine fault. Ask Lester Earl.

I think your boy Carter explained exactly why he potentially missed him. You going to pretend you’re the only one to see that video?

Burrow and Daniels had big leaps in year 2. Could be something to consider. Leavitt has the talent. Maybe a full year in the system is what’s needed to have a breakout year 2.

Just quit turning the ball over. Those guys did make massive leaps but had different skill sets.
They also didn't turn the ball over at an alarming rate in their first year.

Yes it is. I could pull numbers from weeks 1-3 vs. 4-6 but the eye test is enough.

Checks out. I’m pretty surprised we haven’t at least seen Harper.

I did, he was wide fricking open. It was the clearest easy td ever then Leavitt decides to play hero ball again.
