re: I think they should lean into Leavitt or move on.

There's probably a 5% chance that the backups can give you a better result...at best.
The right answer is to continue to work with Leavitt. He's probably not going to develop into a great passer. But, FFS, he should be capable of making some of the plays he's missing. And, he's making other plays that very few players can make.
It's never going to look pretty. But, people who are saying to move on from Leavitt are ridiculous, IMO.

I think he needs to develop to the point he runs only and purely as a last resort. Meaning that he’s a pass-first player who can bail you out with his legs only when it’s a last-case scenario.
But it’s an easy habit to get into to think about running all the time. I won’t say it’s a bad one as it definitely is a positive at times, but he needs to work on dropping back and staying back.
It took Daniels a while to get there. I’m sure they’re trying with Leavitt; it just doesn’t come about in a week or two. Missing reps is very unhelpful for him

If the players lose confidence in him, which is a very real possibility, the team will crater if the coaches force a round peg into a square hole.

This thread is just a nice r way of saying what I've been saying. Kiffin has a turd burger he has to eat for a while

Heck yeah, if SL is going to be the guy, lets dive into the single wing offense and confuse everyone. At least SL will know before the play starts where he will be running. This offense is pure chaos.

Damn dude, its game 3. Burrow and Daniels got a year before they shined. Zero patience with you turds.

Kiffin has to adjust to what he has. He's supposed to be an offensive genius, which isn't the same thing as saying every offense he makes will look the same.
A couple people, including myself, have said we have the makings of an effective, if decidedly old-school, offense. Triple option out of the pistol or shotgun, with the primary play being read-option on Jones up the gut or Leavitt pulling and rolling out. If he pulls, then it's run/pass option:
a) pass to Green (or now his replacement), or
b) run.
We've played 3 games thus far. Jones has rushed 64 times for 285 and 3 TDs, Leavitt 40 times for 198 and 6 TDs.
The problems come when we try to sit Leavitt back in the pocket and make him a prostyle passer right now, or when we try to run someone other than either of those two guys. Gage is the 3rd leading rusher with 13 carries for 50 yds, and the only good thing to be said about him is- he's looked better than Durham or Berry in this offense. He's not that good, but at least he doesn't dance when you hand it to him like they do. This offense isn't about dancing in the backfield, it's effective when you punch it hard into the line.
Now, the questions arise:
will the players tolerate running a non-NFL style offense? Leavitt doesn't seem to mind. Some of the WRs may pout, but I haven't seen a standout guy yet.
Can Leavitt stand up to the pounding? So far, seems like he can.
Can we find someone to step into Green's spot as the primary WR? It doesn't have to be a TE, it could be, say, Watkins in the slot. We do need someone.
Will the defense keep respecting the pass, and if not can Leavitt hit enough open players if they play up? That remains to be determined.
Can Leavitt evolve into a true passing QB? Again, to be determined, check back in November.
