Leavitt has a near 60% completion rate through his first 3 games at LSU. This is exactly in line with his completion rate at his last 2 colleges he played at. He also historically posts good rushing yards as seen in his first 3 games at LSU and his past 2 schools. Leavitt is exactly the same player he’s been he’s a low completion QB who is good at the scramble bc he can’t ever commit to his passing game. I’m as big of an LSU fan as you can find but I’m also realistic about what we have as a QB. Kiffin brought in Leavitt bc he is a good rushing QB and quick on feet but thought he could coach up his passing game. Clearly his passing game can’t be coached up as we are seeing.

Jeez. It was his third game on the road against a top 10 team with the likely Heisman winner.

Also with two interior linemen that probably didn’t even need to show up and would have been just as effective.

Burrow and Jd5 both improved in October of their first year.

If he shows regression still by then maybe. But as of now you have to let him get used to SEC ball.

It'd be nice if he had 2 seconds to throw.

He was #1 QB in the portal. Lane didn't rate him that, I didn't, you didn't, and no one else here did.

Even with his mistakes LSU was on the road against the #8 team and lost on the last possession of the game.

Lane will not just ride a guy to demise like Miles did.

Relax.

Said already but bears repeating:

Give the young man some time to adjust. Sounds like you thought he would walk in, game 1, and be Joe Burrow.

1. SEC road game.

2. Against a team (almost to the person) who had a personal vendetta out against your team.

3. At night and national game of the week.

4. OL that really have had better games.

So yeah, he is 2-1. Nothing but upside once he catches his breath and relaxes.

Needs to beat off twice next time he plays.

Disappointingly true. I was hoping there were just minor reasons that could be worked out.....but he panicked too many times against OM and his accuracy is just a result of terrible technique. I said after the first week that the hitch in his delivery was going to be problematic, especially on short to intermediate passes being deflected......and then he ends the OM game by hitting a non jumping Dlineman in the helmet. That is just plain ridiculous.

He's been bad. We've also seen Lane improve QBs drastically. We've also seen LSU QBs improve drastically.

The sky is not falling. He's not a lost cause.

He’s a competitor, he’s tough, I’m willing to give him time.

I can’t tell but the playbook just doesn’t look filled out yet. Have we had one play in pistol or under center. That’s one thing I found interesting watching bengals games this year. They found the most explosive nfl teams last year were also the teams that ran the most plays under center.

The kid focusses on vitamins , reducing EMF exposure , etc . He needs to look at FILM until he knows without thinking exactly where the receivers will be / rush / blocking , etc , use the virtual reality glasses Jayden used , work heavily on mechanics , go thru progressions like Brees did in warmups for years .

You can’t say shite.
He isn’t anything freaking dumbass. 3 fricking games at game speed. Thank God we didn’t say that about Daniels after season 1 with his no passing arse self holding onto the ball to the point Killy threatened to bench his arse.

Some of yall are smarter than Kiffin. Go to his show and tell him that.
See where that gets you. Like that dumbass Carter with Power Hour show. Hindsight is always 2020. He is short though and they don’t have much for pass protection or decent receivers.
Do I need to list the 40% of the top NFL receivers that Burrow and Daniels had for you dumbasses? Plus Burrow’s Oline won Joe Moore award.
He also had a great Terrace Marshall III and Daniels had Masson Taylor.

Leavitt has Green and was heating up when got injured. The rest is this week without him. Who will step up.

So, basically, he's Auburn's Bo Nix. Too bad he doesn't have 3 years left to turn into Oregon's Bo Nix.

Jayden Daniels had 7.5 yards per attempt after his first year at LSU. It was worse than any year he had at Arizona State. Everyone knew he could not complete long passes. Everyone knew who Jayden Daniels was; he was the same QB he had always been.

Until the next year, when he had the highest passer rating in college football history. Oh, and he also rushed for over 1,100 yards. People never change.

Since you didn’t do it, I’ll say it for you. It’s his first year in the SEC. I hope that helps.
