I've been very impressed with Landon Clark! Leavitt gives you more upside, perhaps, but is Clark "safer"? Clark looks perfectly capable of moving the ball both in the air and his ability to run. And he looks very confident, secure in running the offense.

Could Landon be started/used to give Leavitt time to mentally adjust? Clark could be given a "trial" start......see how he does, which might surprise everyone, and pull him soon after, or if, he struggles, breaks down!

What have we got to lose? Start him for a series or two.....see how it goes. The reason I'm "thinking" or suggesting this strategy should be obvious after last night. Leavitt is "scary", and somewhat dangerous, at least for now. Landon Clark has not displayed this serious "down side" of turning the ball over like Sam did. Might it be beneficial to give Leavitt some time to "think" on the sidelines?

Now, I know how many here will react, think this is crazy. But IS IT? Has it really been proven which of our QB's performs and is definitively better during games, on the field?!

I’m not opposed to the idea. Keeps egos in check

The backup is always the best player in the country

Yes, he has looked good in garbage time. But let’s trust Lane on this one.

Wouldn't do it this week. Perhaps a quick hook though

The coaches know waaaaaay better than the rant. One word, experience. Leavitt was trying to do too much. The guy competes.

Then start Leavitt. We're playing to win a championship not to win the capital one bowl. To win it all you need your best to play their best

But idk how you can tell who has the most upside and who's the safest already

Don’t even let Leavitt travel with the team. Or clawback 1/12 of his pay after last night. Send a message Lane!

Lane picked Austin Simmons over Chambliss pre-injury

I'll be honest, I did not read past this.

The answer, though, is...no.

Thanks for that! I was'nt thinking, and therefore did'nt specifically address the "Ego" aspect, but that is a large part of what I was suggesting.

What is boils down to is:

Does the risk of starting Clark really outweigh the known risk Leavitt has shown!? From what I've seen on the field....No!

Question, which effects my thoughts/strategy about "starting Clark":

When Landon has played, did we have all our First Team/String offensive players like I'm sure we did while Leavitt was in?!

I trust Lane Kiffin with his QB decision making. If there’s one thing I’m confident in, it’s that he’s gonna roll with the best QB.

Chambliss taking Austin Simmons spot at Ole Miss is a perfect example.

Not sure what that has to do with it. He managed their QBs deep into the CFP. Are you saying he never picks the right QB?

We are two games in and some of y'all are basically saying Lane Kiffin doesn't know how to manage his quarterback personnel.

Think about that for a moment.
