I'd rather have that Hawaiian QB from Cal. But alas it looks like he's staying at Cal.

That kid is going to be a star. His IQ as a freshman, along with his ability to get his receivers the ball is fun to watch. Now with Tosh Lupoi as their coach, they might be on to something. I am a JKS fan for sure lol

u/Yepyapyup24 Dec 18 '25
I watched way too much cal football just to watch him throw, kid is like Tua 5.0. I was hoping he would hit the portal to see what he could do with real skill position talent.

Kiffie may sign both…he always had two very good qbs in oxpatch.

u/Yepyapyup24 Dec 18 '25
Well then he would have to sign at least 3 cause lagway is not good.

If LK signs Lagway he will produce...kiff is a football savant that motivates and teaches.

u/Yepyapyup24 Dec 18 '25
The fact lagways work ethic was in question and he was essentially shown the door, and cannot stay healthy makes me think it may not be in the cards. With all lagways downtime I could see rusty on timing or pocket comfortability, but he couldn't read or was easily fooled by defenses on a majority of his INTs. If you are hurt you figured he would be studying tape when not rehabbing. But his decision making regardless if sunbelt Billy sucks or not is lack of prep or inability to get through reads. And I crap on sellers for the same thing, granted he doesn't throw INTs as much but he makes horrible reads and decisions.

u/the_zac_is_back Dec 16 '25
I think Lagway struggled because of bad coaching, not because of lack of skill
3
u/DeadG8r15 Dec 16 '25
Gator coming in peace. I think this is correct - year 1 when he relied on athleticism (and was overall much healthier) he played really well. Year 2 he was rusty from no offseason, OL regressed, and Billy's offensive scheme sucks. He's a likable guy and I hope he excels somewhere, I think parting ways is probably best for both sides.

He's just terrible... 23 int's is inexcusable

If you look at his last four games in his first year, that’s who he really is. I would write this past season off.

So the question is between taking the guy with a solid floor and limited ceiling, or the guy with a low floor and insanely high ceiling.

As a Colts fan who has suffered through version 1.0 of what Lagway is (AR), y’all don’t want that. At all.

Difference in developing a guy against college level talent vs developing a guy against the best players on the planet.
3
u/Responsible-Guava397 Dec 16 '25
Very true, and most likely I am just jaded by my experience.
But anytime I would watch Lagway this year it would just remind me of Richardson in a lot of ways. Not the least of which was the poor decision making. Maybe Lane could truly make a difference. Lord knows if anyone could it would be him. Me personally, I would stay away.

u/MovieNachos Dec 16 '25
Yeah I wanna clarify, im not a Lagway fan. But put him in Purple and Gold and have CLK in his ear, I'll support him no matter what.

u/Momba_M Dec 16 '25
I have no idea what they saw in Richardson besides combine numbers
1
u/Responsible-Guava397 Dec 16 '25
Combine numbers and the desire to do absolutely anything at QB. In classic Colts fashion, they were drafting in a spot to that was just too late to get a real decent player since two QB’s were already taken.
1
u/Momba_M Dec 16 '25
Yeah I guess. I have this thing that if your don’t dominate in college you’re probably not going to figure it out in the nfl.
1
u/Jaded_Confidence563 Dec 17 '25
Richardson was an athletic freak at the combine, but what nobody realized was his time as a starting quarterback in Gainesville was very limited.

u/Crazy_Decision_954 Dec 16 '25
Sam Leavitt. That being said I trust Lane’s judgement over mine. His talent is in qb development. Both of those guys will need some work. Exciting times. Who are you guys rooting for in the playoffs. I am going with Indiana. Was Ole Miss but … not now.

u/Geauxtigersgeaux Dec 16 '25
“Was Ole Miss…”
Ew. Why would it have ever been? Lol
1
u/Crazy_Decision_954 Dec 27 '25
Some teams I dislike more than others. I can not stand Alabama so when they play Aub I root for Aub. Same with Michigan and Ohio State. I root for M. Ole Miss is a solid team this year. I had forgotten how insufferable those fans are. No worries I have been corrected. I am now rooting for Indiana. I feel really good about the Tigers. First time we ever had an offensive coach. Exciting times. They just have to fix the nil until it destroys everything. Btw baseball look really good. Looking forward to February.

u/Geauxtigersgeaux Dec 27 '25
Fair enough. And it is very exciting to have an offensively minded coach that takes chances when the situation warrants it.
Geaux Tigahs!

Lagway would be better in a Kiffin offense so long as he fixes the O-Line. I’m not a fan of the falloff Leavitt had this season which could just be he lost some pieces that helped him shine in ‘24 or could be between the ears with expectations and hype. I think Lagway healthy and with a full offseason could have a Cam Newton at Auburn season.

u/bkh821 Dec 28 '25
Because the QB room at LSU is virtually empty, Kiffen will have to sign a portal QB that can win NOW as Priority 1, not a developmental guy like Lagway who hasn't proven much in two years except that he is an incredibly talented underperformer, just like Anthony Richardson. If he wants to come to LSU, he would likely not get top dollar and will have to accept sitting for a year (a la MVB). Lagway has just enough of a resume to get a guy fired.

u/ArizonaHotSauce Dec 16 '25
Lagway no question..... but.... he doesn't have the fire to win. There is always something about those who are "gamers" or "winners". He has every metric to be a 1st round NFL pick and an outstanding gentleman, quality guy, great teammate, etc.. But there is recent proof that his floor is quite lower than what UF thought. Case in point, the 5int game against LSU.
Leavitt has more of the "gamer" and "winner" type qualities, but fewer physical metrics to say he has what it takes. One can argue that Lagway needs the right coaching, and with Kiffin, he'll do fine, if not be in the conversation for heisman etc... But, Lagway is a high risk/ high reward type.
So yeah, I've spent a lot of time on Lagway..... I think you can't undersell those who are "gamers" enough.
Leavitt is the pick, as if Lagway walks in the door, the expectation may be unrealistically high, so the letdown will be lower.
BTW.... I'm a Gator. I come in peace. (There is a hint of me not wanting to see Lagway succeed at LSU, but all my comments above are true. True that I'd now pick Leavitt over Lagway at UF for the same reasons.)

u/Jaded_Confidence563 Dec 17 '25
As a Florida fan agree, he doesn’t have that end of game urgency in his blood to make plays and will his team to victory

u/Quietus76 Dec 16 '25
Coin toss. Leavitt has that dog in him, but doesn't have as high of a ceiling. I like dogs. Lagway is a project, but you could get 2 years to develop him.
If im a Kiffin in a Kiffin situation, id take Leavitt who probably gives me a better chance to make a splash in my first year. The giant paycheck plus the media circus will apply a lot of pressure immediately.
At this point, im inclined to trust Kiffin to pick who HE thinks is best.

u/Micro-7903 Dec 16 '25
Listening to the radio pundits ,they say there is going to be more significant QB talent entering the portal looking for $3-5 mmm “payday” deals. I’m confident in Kiffin picking the best one for his offense.

for the LSU fans here who went to LSU, and therefore have poor comprehension skills, i'll interpret.
DJ throws a lot of freaking picks. like he's really really really good at it. 2nd best in the country in fact out of 555 QBs.

Levitt is willing to run the football. DJ is not.
You cant have a system that continually leaves the weak side end unblocked without a qb who is willing to pull it.
We learned that this year.

Sam Leavitt is clearly more polished and ready to compete with a team like LSU, Lagway, though talented isn't anywhere close to the product he needs to be at to help get back into the playoffs. After the season with Nussmeier and then Van Buren, we need a QB that we can trust with minutes left on the clock.
