We would be worse with Leavitt. He’s a RB pretending to be a QB. Mestemaker was the only good QB in the portal but he was always going to follow his coach to Okie State.

Well… not sure how you can this with a straight face. We really really really suck at this offensive shite.”

Leavitt can’t throw either and the OL would not protect him enough for him to run the football.

And Sam Leavitt is right smack dab in the middle of that chart. He is by definition a college average QB. Do you honestly believe a college average QB can be successful with an OL that can’t block, who can’t get consistent push to create lanes for our RBs, and a WR corps that can’t catch the football. Marcel Reed has been awful there is no denying that but it goes WELL beyond him. Our offense has failed in all facets and no QB is going to fix that.

No one said an average QB would fix everything.

You said we'd be worse with Leavitt than we are with Reed, which is laughable..

We wouldn’t be better with Leavitt that’s for damn sure. Did you know that he’s already thrown 8 interceptions this year which is more than Reed. How many interceptions do you think Leavitt can throw behind our OL not blocking for him.

Congrats on finding a single stat to support your dumb stance.

Should we go through the other 100 stats that have Marcel as one of the worst football players in the nation?

And if Sam Leavitt was our QB he would be the worst statistical QB in college football. Hell we could put in Hart this week and we would still lose to Bama by 30 next week. That’s what you’re not getting. Our issues go so far beyond Reed being bad. Not even Kurt Warner in his prime releasing the ball after three seconds would help move the ball because we don’t have a WR who can catch. Thats not getting into the wholly unimaginative play calling from our first time OC.

The warning signs were there that this was going to be an awful season before we decided to stick with Reed and a different QB wasn’t going to change those warning signs.

Agreed. I don't understand how we can look back to last year - Notre Dame, Florida, Mizzou, LSU - Big time games that Marcel absolutely KILLED it in, and sit here today and go "nah, he just sucks." Obviously something has changed. Our OL is completely disjointed. Owens is straight up terrible in both running the ball and blocking. The confidence of our WRs is completely shot.

And that's just on Offense. The whole house is sinking into the ground.

“Marcel killed it” is something I don’t think I’ve ever seen. He’s made some big plays and made some good decisions in pivotal moments. But to say he’s absolutely killed it for a whole game and impressed in such a manner that it’s reasonable to hold him to a higher standard is just wishful thinking.

Not once has he proved to be or even looked like a starting qb on a championship level football team for a whole game.

Marcel is inaccurate. Streaky. Throw it in the dirt, or a strike fifteen yards downfield. It is because his mechanics are trash. Hart at least has good mechanics ...

Makes no sense. Elko is too damn stubborn to bench an ineffective starter.

Marcel has been very bad at hitting open receivers on deep balls. He is terrible at 40+ hitting someone without them stopping and waiting on a ball. Several seasons of this.

Receivers did their jobs and managed to get wide open deep quite a bit last year. He is very consistent at throwing shitty deep balls to wide open guys on target.

Concepcion should have had at least 7 more TDs and another 450+ receiving yards just on deep throws last year. 2 against ND last year.

We need a quarterback change this week. It is that simple

Leavitt completed 32 of 45 passes for a career-high 387 yards, ran for 54 more and played turnover-free football for the second consecutive week.

Yeah but does he have the worst QB instincts you've ever seen?

He also played two teams who are 86th and 81th in pass defense so let’s not think that he did that against great teams. Let’s see what he does against Alabama, Texas and Tennessee next month. If he can put up those numbers against the 15th, 12th, and 22nd ranked pass defenses then we can talk about him not being this years version of last years Marcel Reed.
