You are a true fan holding out hope that Leonard is our future. I gotta admire your ability to do this.

It’s almost like his been groomed for it especially if Steichen is the coach, the whole Steichen-Rivers-Leonard dynamic

Kid on the other side last night was a late round pick with so much predraft garbage on him, which lead to his draft position. Turned out ok for him.

Brady was a late round with knocks and reasons why he couldn't play in the NFL. Bledsoe getting hurt proved them to be idiots as well. History in the NFL tells you anyone can succeed despite what the pundits say. We won't know which side he falls on until he gets the chance. We ain't making the playoffs so might as well see. Barring a miracle we won't see DJ next year, so something has to work.

I don't disagree that seeing what he has is a decent idea. Nothing to lose. I just don't think he has anything. You could have pointed out that the great Johnny Unitas was a 9th round pick of the Steelers who they cut. That has happened once in 105 years of NFL. With the two you said (and Purdy has not won anything yet) that makes 3 in 105 years. Not likely to happen.

I don't disagree, but we will never know if we don't throw him out there in the line of fire. I know statistically I am most likely wrong, but with the season a huge disappointment letting a 44 year old stir the ship while it is taking on water is probably not the wisest decision. Sans the QB position there is still a ton of NFL players drafted beyond the 4th. round playing and contributing. Shake the tree and see what falls out.

I’m guessing if someone other than Rivers plays any at all, it will be AR, assuming he starts practicing.

But it’s a moot point because they’re gonna ride with Rivers.

AR can't even be on the sidelines without sunglasses. He's fucked up. That "cleared to work out" designation is really not registering with people.

LOL....I wondered if I was the only one noticing that! It is a tragic story, but AR is just not cut out for the NFL. No shame in that, 90% of the population couldn't hold up to the physicality, let alone have the skills required to be the QB.

I noticed it as well, Just a thought. Maybe he didnt want the cameras on his eyes during the game. Also I wonder if the pre game light show could iritate his eyes.

I do agree that there must still be issues.

I'm rooting for the kid. Just not this yr
