re: I can see Landon Clark playing on Saturday

It’s really hard in my mind to say Sam was bad.
Dude makes plays with his legs only joysticks can compete with.
The problem is he knows this and doesn’t trust the lack of poise to sit in the pocket to read a D because he naturally wants to make a play.
He has ability, we saw the dime he threw in the end zone over the defender and the other play on 3rd or 4th down and while scrambling from one side of the field to the other like Johnny Manziel.
He needs more protection for his game to evolve,
So unless we improve on the line Clark may be the better option but like we always say, the 2nd team QB is always a popular guy.

When have you ever seen accuracy issues fixed within a season?

Is this figure outtable if thats a word? When have you seen a QB midseason go from terrible passer to good passer?
This is nothing new. Look at his ASU film.

Backup QBU

I saw exactly what you saw. He’s definitely not good enough right now. Kiff and Weiss are so great at what they do, so if Leavitt continues playing so poorly and we still don’t see Clark I will know with certainty that Clark is even worse than Leavitt. I trust Kiff and Weiss with quarterbacks more than I’ve ever trusted any others with the possible exception being Joe Brady.

He wasn’t but he’s been targeted as the scapegoat this season so the standards have shifted.

Kiffin stuck with Dart when he played just like Leavitt his first year at OM. That worked out well. I’m putting my trust in Kiffin. I’m good with whatever decision he makes.

I believe Clark will play in the NFL one day. We wasting this kid's talents on the bench. Its no secret he is much more accurate passer than leavitt and the kid is bigger and can run like a wr....jmo.
I can see where leavitt can be very good but he has to improve and is a 2 year process imo. Does he even have another year?

Look man, it wasn’t Leavitt’s fault most of the time.
Excuses, dude did the same shite with Clemson but nobody seen it. Clean pocket, receivers open he still bails and take off. La Tech he was forcing throws and getting picked not having his feet set. Dude just not good and don’t trust his own arm

If Clark gets in the game and takes over with the same success he has shown already this season when in the games against Clemson and LaTech, Leavitt could be this year's version of Austin Simmons...and I would love it!

So you think Kiffin sits in practice, watches Clark play much better, and says f that, I’m sticking with Leavitt?

quote:i dont know what he see's in practice, I could also say, he thinks leavitt is better but he clearly struggles to read a secondary and also, the kid cannot literally throw a 5 YARD PASS with any accuracy for a touchdown(thats completely unacceptable and deserving of the bench). On film , Clark seems better, in the first 2 games Clark played, throws with much more touch and accuracy.. Not going against Leavitt and want him to become a better passer but its gonna take while. Its been 3 games already and he is showing the same exact inconsistencies on the field. Hope he shows different on Saturday.

It’s a very simple logic, the backup
QB is always the best.

I would thrink timing is a decent part of it, which could definitely improve throughout the year. Footwork and mechanics can definitely be improved. Not saying he’s gonna become Joe burrow by then end of the year but I could definitely see him get comfortable and make the plays he should’ve made last night.

When and where did he transfer to
Posted on 9/20/26 at 9:44 pm to AlaTiger
Yes he did miss quite a bit of receivers.
However, they need to sure up that OL before worrying about the QB. Bordelon is not good. When a QB gets pressure up the middle constantly it’s hard for him to confidently step up in the pocket. Which means he won’t set his feet even when the pocket is clear. It also forces the QB to bail.
What you’re seeing from Leavitt is the symptom of bad O-Line play. He simply does not trust the guys up front. Switching QBs doesn’t fix the root cause.

Look, he had a bad game. But it was the first SEC game, away, hostile environment. Honestly I think he's playing ASU ball in a completely different environment. Bigger, faster, and stronger D lines in the SEC means you have to get rid of the ball quicker and trust your receivers to make a play. He never had to do that at ASU. He'll come around, but he won't if he's sitting on the bench.

Agree with OP. At the very least he needs a short leash. Definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. Lane would be insane to ride him into the ground and not at least give Clark a series or two if Sam is struggling again. Forget about ROI and NIL spent and all that.. who gives you the best chance to win in the moment by distributing the ball to your playmakers? If that's Sam, fine. If that's Clark, fine. I trust Kiffin will make adjustments.

There’s virtually no chance of this happening unless Leavitt just starts turning it over
