I remember a very similar start from a transfer qb from Arizona state 3 years ago

I also remember that qb not getting set in the pocket and wanting to take off as soon as the ball was snapped. Let’s give our boy some time, he has the skills he just needs to calm tf down back there. FITFO Lane!

When it comes to Kiffin, developing a quarterback is the least of my concerns.
We will be fine there

Everyone thought he sucked until that 11am game at Miss St

& then people still complained that he missed a couple throws (he was 31/34 for 361 yards )

The player you speak of was very timid because he did not want to throw an interception. Once he threw his 1st int of the season against Tennessee he did great. Leavitt. Leavitt is just bad.

So many people keep drawing these parallels. JD and Burrow never looked erratic with absolutely horrid mechanics.

I agree. Sam is coming back from a major injury and also realizing the speed difference in SEC. He still shows flashes of brilliance. Let’s ride.

Jd ended with 3 interceptions

Leavitt already surpassed that.

Our issue with JD wasn’t he couldn’t hit open wide open receivers it was he was scared to throw it deep.

Leavitt simply can’t he has 0 accuracy.

Regardless of how any previous QB were their 1st year.... I've never seen a QB consistently miss WIDE OPEN receivers. I mean it's quite pathetic for this dude to be paid over $4million and not be able to make throws I could make easily.

Remember, Sam missed half of last season and spring. Hopefully he rounds into better form. But he definitely needs to improve or it won't be a good year.

So when JD went 8-20 vs Auburn he didn’t miss any open guys?

If you compare every quarterback who comes here to 2 Heisman winners you are setting yourself up for disappointment.

Same guy also had a shite o line. Hard to get into the groove when your snap is coming at you as fast as their d line. Im so sick of having a trash line, so so so sick of it.

As I recall, it took an entire off-season working with VR to make him what he became. He was mediocre most of his first year as a starter.

That said, I don't think our current QB has the talent at WR that the other QB had.

fricking bad information here. He did not do great. He sucked arse until season 2 vs MSU. Kelly threatened to bench his arse.
He also had 2 of the top 10 NFL receivers to throw to and a TE that was pretty good.
I mean. The did went down 43 times for holding on to the ball too long and lost 2 games because of it.
