He gets paid $5 million a year. He’s an employee now and not above criticism.

And what do we get for that ? Tied with two other QB’s for the most interceptions in the SEC and tied for second most turnovers ?

Read an article about Leavitt. Said he has 2 great games in a row and one bad. That’s his MO. Article was about his time at ASU.

The truly great ones have vision. They can see the moving pieces on the field. Burrow


Blah blah blah. Corny made up cliche after corny made up cliche

There’s no way you were saying this about burrow his junior year. Zero fricking chance. You assholes act like people are just born or just walk right into the legend roles that you remember them having. That’s just not the case. People are allowed to develop. Athletes are allowed to get better. Sure, Leavitt had a bad game last night, but his overall progression throughout the season has been fun to watch.

The quarterback we saw last night is not a finished product. He has and will continue to get better.

And yall aren’t gonna want to hear this but the same shite can be said for Kiffin. He will improve as well

People are just so butthurt about losing that they feel the need to pin it on someone or one particular thing but that’s just not right or fair. We got outplayed and out coached last night. I’m sick of losing to bama too. But let’s not get carried away. We will be fine (maybe not this year )

And? Are you under the impression we are losing because of him? How about those guards who let the pocket blow up? Or who can't open a 1 foot lane for Dillin? Or our WRs who drop balls or don't know when to sit on routes. Or coaches going for it on 4th and 4 instead of taking 39 yard fields goals? I don't know if some of you are new to football or old and don't know shite.

That’s not the subject at the moment. It’s the QB whom we pay $5 million and is near the top of stat categories you don’t want to be in.

So, you’re satisfied with Leavitt this past weekend and in other big games?

id you see all that vision from Joe Burrow in year one? I'm sure you didn't.


You mean the first year he started in college football and the first time he actually had meaningful snaps in college football games.

Thats your comparison to a guy in his 3rd season as a starter and who started in the playoffs 2 seasons ago??

Thats being said I actually remember Joe making some calls at the line of scrimmage and had a command of the huddle during his first game against Miami that was impressive considering he just arrived in the summer and hadn’t played much in his prior 3 years at Ohio State.

but I feel like the kid would benefit greatly from some feedback from Drew Brees.

Oh sure, all he needs is for a successful short QB to give him some feedback. This is a foolproof formula that could make a great QB out of anyone.

I think if Leavitt had a little better protection, for a few seconds longer he would be able to see the field better and spot those open receivers. Our Oline competes just fine against lesser competition but struggle against the Alabamas. Hopefully Texas and Tennessee are more manageable.

good observation. I feel the same way. SL definitely reverted to his early season issues. LSU didn't need that. He doesn't see the field well, and rarely gets to his second option, many who are wide open

This is only one man’s opinion but I also think Sam Leavitt will greatly improve in 2027. We have prior data following Joe Burrow and Daniels final seasons that they go from good to great with more time in the program. The OL on Saturday were outmuscled by Alabama’s front 4 and that was the problem. Against Auburn with less pressure and more time, I haven’t seen a better game from LSU for years. The recruiting team need to look at restocking the OL as the players there are probably not elite. Sad but true.

He's also near the top of stats that you want to be at the top in:

6th in QBR
7th in Completion Percentage
8th in Passing Yards
Tied for 14th in Total Touchdowns

Could Leavitt be playing better? Sure. But he has had bad drops as well as an offensive line that has struggled.

They are going to line him up across from Davis every snap.

I know SL10 made lots of INTs earlier this season. He has been a lot better but really 1 INT each game is not good in these SEC tight games.
The one against Bama, NFL guys make that mistake when they don't see an LB sinking in coverage.
But he does need to improve, it seems he is a 1 read QB and then can't get to the nest progression. Maybe stays on the 1st too long and then the OL issue comes into effect and he is forced to scramble.
