Leak Back For Last Year

#2

I guess he's banking on being able to put up better numbers in his 2nd year in Urban Meyer's system. He definitely looked better as the season went along last year.

He would have gone somewhere but I don't know that he would have made the cut and actually play on Sundays. Tend to doubt it, actually. He also probably realized that with Leinhart, Young, and Cutler in the draft, his absolute best possible day was to be the fourth QB taken and I think he probably would have fallen a couple of more spots.

I personally believe that as a drop-back passer he is as good as anyone but he can't take NFL punishment. If he can toughen up this summer, maybe bulk up and get a little faster on his feet, then have a really good year, he can graduate and possibly be in the top three QB's for next year's draft.

I have to confess that I expected more of him this year in terms of running. I was not disappointed with his passing game, but that's not good enough in the Meyer offense. I don't think many NFL teams are interested in trying what Meyer likes to to do, but it does seem to me that if a QB can conquer that system and throw and be a running threat, then that gives him good credentials for the more pro-type offenses.

You're probably right about Leak getting buried in the draft until the 2nd day. I've also heard some stuff about there being a concern over Leak's release being slow and loopy.

I think he's making the right choice. The longer he stays in Meyer's offense, the better they are going to utilize him and the better he'll look. :twocents:

Isn't he only 6'? I always thought he would be a little small to play in the pros. I think he has great skill, but not enough size. Even next year i don't think he will be taken all the high

I think he'll end up being a good pro. The guy is a prototypical dropback passer with a good arm who can read a defense. He can't help it that he was stuck with Zook for two years and is now mismatched with Meyer's offense.

He could definitely help with regards to being stuck with Zook...that is who he signed with! Indirectly he probably could have avoided being under Meyers too, since when he signed with Zook the fireronzook.com site was already into his second season. He chose to play for the Gators out of spite for Tennessee, yet he failed to understand the following:

Don't cut off your nose to spite your face.

The systems he has been under in Florida have turned him from the #1 QB recruit 3 years ago, to a QB who will probably never win 10 games/year in college and never see solid playing time in the NFL.

yes he could , he could have gotten over the fact that his older brother was a backup QB and always will be and committed to UT...

:elephant: Good. I really look forward to seeing him on his rear in Neyland this fall.

Problem is he ain't great against us but he did just enough to beat us last year. The rest we helped him with turnovers. The NFL feedback I am sure was not as positive has liked. If it was the article would be reading different and he'd have an agent.

On another message board it was recommended to get a big DB named Plummer (or if you could find one with the correct spelling) and have him sack Leak a few times. it opens up a whole new round of posterboards about the Plummer fixing the Leak.

:lolabove: And I can play center for the Lakers. . . .if I quit my job, practice 21 hours a day, grow 14 inches, and put on 100 pounds of lean muscle.

And I thought WE wore orange-tinted glasses!

Three step drop with good protection and throw versus PAC-10 "defense" (and I use that term loosely) ... Yes, he can zing it with the best of them.

I think his biggest issue in the pro's will be the height....he's got a good arm, he's accurate, and he can move around in the pocket ok, but needs to get better obviously.

the problem comes in when a 290 D linemen that runs a 4.7 hits him square in the chin....

He will be a good college qb but will never suit up on sundays. We have seen real studs including drop back qb's that won the Heisman in college that never transpired to have a successful pro career. Here are a few.

Danny Wuerffel
Andre Ware
Jason White
Weinke
Torretta

Can you honestly say that leak is better than these guys?

I think its good for him to come back. The only thing is that he will get handed his first loss of the season pretty early when he comes to Big Orange Country baby :gun:

I think its smart that Leak stays, IMO hes not good enough for the pros, yet. He may have an amazing year next year, or not who knows, overall I think this is a good decision.

Wuerffel -- Yes, as a thrower, he's better. Wuerffel had unbelievable receivers and SOS, who took them to a new level of timing routes. I think Leak has a stronger arm than Wuerffel.

Ware -- Dunno'. Totally different kind of QB.

White -- Whatever happened to that guy, anyway?

Weinke -- brg72, YOU are better than Chris Weinke. Or Chris Rix, for that matter.

Torretta -- Yes. Again, better arm. Also, in the case of Gino, Leak has a much better brain.

Chrissy ending his career without not a single SECCG appearence would be hilarious to me.

Love it
