Anxiously await GG to say he fricked up

Now that is a BOOM!

Now we have a QB1 and a QB2.
It’s time to get an offensive line.

Curious to see what this puts us at in the 247 and on3 rankings. Surely we will be first by a good margin on 247 curious as to what it does to on3s silly rankings.
I imagine once we have a few guys return it’ll change drastically

He already declared back in December he was leaving for the NFL and is an expected 1st round draft pick.

Yeah, a bit of deception on this post. Expected isn't Signed.

What is his expected return time after the surgery?
Posted on 1/12/26 at 11:08 am to Tank77
Are we even sure he will be healthy? Big gamble getting this gimp QB!!! I don’t like it!!

A lot of people are concerned that he will be “out” of Spring practice. He may not be 100% but can be involved. Per ChatGPT:
Sam Leavitt — Right foot Lisfranc (plant foot) breakdown
Because Leavitt is a right-handed QB, the right foot is his plant / drive foot. That makes this more limiting than a trail-foot injury, especially for velocity, stability, and pocket movement.
?
Why the plant foot matters
The plant foot is responsible for:
• Transferring force from the ground into the throw
• Stabilizing during dropbacks
• Hard stops and re-sets in the pocket
• Explosive push-off when escaping pressure
Lisfranc injuries directly affect midfoot rigidity, which is critical for all of that.
?
Phase-by-phase impact
1. Early throwing (8–12 weeks post-op)
What he can do
• Seated throwing
• Standing throws with a narrow base
• Short, controlled mechanics
What’s limited
• Full lower-body drive
• Torque through the plant foot
?? Arm strength may look fine, but ball velocity and consistency lag until the foot stiffens.
?
2. Mechanics return (12–16 weeks)
Progress
• Full throwing motion returns
• Better rhythm and timing
• Increased reps tolerated
Still limited
• Sudden re-planting
• Throwing while drifting or resetting
?? Coaches often say the QB “looks normal” throwing — but movement throws are restricted.
?
3. Footwork & dropbacks (4–5 months)
This is the most critical window.
Allowed
• 3–5 step drops
• Controlled rollouts
• Light pressure simulations
Delayed
• Hard plant ? reset ? throw
• Escape + throw across body
• Sudden stops on pass rush
?? This is where plant-foot Lisfrancs separate from trail-foot recoveries.
?
4. Explosiveness & trust (5–7 months)
Key milestones
• Sprinting off the right foot
• Hard vertical plants
• Pocket slides at game speed
Mental factor
• Even when medically cleared, QBs often hesitate to fully trust the plant foot
• Confidence usually returns after repeated high-stress reps
?
Hardware removal factor
If Leavitt had planned screw removal (~4–5 months):
• Short dip in performance (2–4 weeks)
• Often improves comfort and push-off
• Many athletes feel “looser” and more explosive afterward
?
What this means for his calendar
• Spring practice: throwing looks good; movement is managed
• Early summer: biggest jump in performance
• Fall camp: should be fully functional
• Week 1 readiness: realistic barring setbacks
?
Bottom line
• Plant-foot Lisfranc = slower movement return, not slower throwing
• Velocity, pocket reset, and escape throws are the last pieces
• Timeline still aligns well with full availability for the season
