Would someone explain the reason for casting a down arrow for a post like this? What do you consider wrong?

Some sec coaches think Sam is a pretty avg sec qb and Chambliss is the next Burrow. I don't know what to believe until he plays 3 or 4 games. Chambliss was also nothing special until LK got him.

Well look what Lane has done with ALL of his QBs. If he could do that with Chambliss, what is he gonna be able to do with Sam? Gonna be a fun season.

That's the thing that I like about the media and other fan bases. Sam will eat shite no matter what because of the Moo State game
Captain, he played Moo State twice.

2025
Comp%: 45.5%
YPA: 3.7
TD: 1
INT: 2
QB Rating: 73.6

2024
Comp%: 50.0%
YPA: 3.5
TD: 0

He played a third SEC game

Texas 2024

YPA: 4.8

QB Rating: 88.4


His record at ASU against SEC competition is not inspiring.

Nevertheless, LSU has much better talent than ASU. I believe Kiffin is the best QBC/OC combination in CFB. Kiffin will have Leavitt prepared. Kiffin will call plays that give Leavitt the best opportunity to succeed. I certainly hope Leavitt rises to the challenge, and I'm optimistic about this season.

I watched his highlights vs Mississippi St and I did in fact, not see this.


Before you pull rank on Kiffin's plan for the fall, let us know....

So you like how he’s competing against AIR?

I was trying to figure out the acronym A-I-R.

I agree with everyone that it’s silly to compare the two. But I also take issue with those shitting on Sam citing stats. At this time in the summer of 2019, Joe Burrow was coming off of a 2018 season in which he completed 57.8% of his passes for 16 TDs in 13 games. Then he joined an offensive system that suited his skill set perfectly and had the greatest season of all time.

I don’t expect Sam to come close to Joe. But I do think that Sam fits Kiffin’s system perfectly. And I think Kiffin and Weiss are masters at playing to their personnel’s strength. So I will be very surprised if Leavitt does not have his best ever season as a college QB this fall.

People can be positive. But in this thread you have people comparing Sam Leavitt to both Joe Burrow and Jayden Daniels. Might be a little premature, no?


You do realize that “comparing” 2 football players isn’t the same thing as insinuating that they are equal in talent, potential, performance or whatever? “Comparing” is how you would analyze how two things are completely opposite as well as how two things are similar.

Leavitt is Jaxson Dart. He doesn't come close to Burrow in comparison

Sure, it’s just funny that he is being compared to two Heisman winners. Nuss throws the ball pretty effortlessly too. Why don’t we compare Leavitt to him?
