Can he be a rotational player for when Grover has to take a breather? Didn’t think so. Not sure if there’s any upside to this guy.

I thought that Leonard played better than his stats showed ...... I thought that he was robbed of a TD by the refs, and I also think that the refs robbed him by charging him with an INT instead of a completed pass on a simultaneous reception by the receiver and the defender.

Taking into consideration everything that happened prior to him entering the game, I thought that Leonard actually played well for a rookie QB with no experience coming into a pressure-packed game on the road in which the team was already significantly behind on the scoreboard ...... plus, as I previously stated, I thought that the referees did him no favors.

I still think that we should let him start Sunday. It’s a game we’re unlikely to win anyway, against a really good defense.

Let the kid see what he can do. Let grandpa Rivers get one more week of practice.

I'm OK with either one of them starting on Sunday ...... but if Riley's knee still isn't 100%, I would prefer to go with Rivers so that Riley can rest and rehab and be ready for the 49ers the following week.

At least, that’s how I see this going.

Otherwise, why wouldn’t they just come out and say that Leonard will start if he’s healthy?

They can’t say for sure that Rivers will start Sunday because they’re not sure he’ll be ready by then. There’s no other reason for them to not say who’s starting.

The Seahawks have a strong defense, and are one of the best teams against the rush, so there may not be a lot of help from JT. I'd rather see Rivers fail than Leonard who could suffer irreparable damage to his confidence. We know what Rivers was, we just don't know what he is now.
