I thought we were getting a stud, not a dud. He's as bad as any UK starting QB I can remember. This is not mis-communication on routes. This is a guy that flat can't hit the side of a barn with any consistency. I feel bad for Coen.
Leary a massive disappointment so far this year
- Thread starter BlueCephus
- Start date
Massive disappointment is an understatement! Wish I could find better words. I mean this guy can’t hit wide open receivers 50% of the time! I’ve got an idea…..how about bench his weak ass until he proves that he is ready!
He's been absolute trash this season. I guess the ACC was really, really, REALLY bad the last few years...
I think his injury may have killed his career. Pectoral surgery is more significant than many thought. I tore a pec once. Not nearly as bad as he did. I'm still not the same and that's all I'll say.
It’s frustrating, he’s obviously talented but way too inconsistent. Makes some really nice throws and then misses bunnies.
Thanks for starting this thread. I overlooked his bad throws the first game or two, attributed it to jitters. rust coming back from injury, etc. By now, he has enough body of work to show me that he doesn’t have it.
Yeah, I know he just threw a TD pass to Davis, but I’m ready to see what Sheron and / or Wade can do.
Stoops tenure would look at lot different with better QB play. One year we have had high level QB play. One. To beat teams like UGA we need a stud at QB.
He’s been frustrating for sure, he will make some great throws then complete dogs. Hopefully Coen can keep developing him.
I’d say it’s most likely the pec changed his ability. Maybe it looks ok in practice but when the rubber hits the road, he’s working with an arm that moves different that’s it did the last 10 years or so of football.
Graphic just posted…. Leary 10-25-128. Now 10-26. There’s been a few drops but many of the incompletions are on Leary.
Some of the missed layups are inexcusable. I have no doubt Leary is a great dude, but I hate to say that that injury may've made him lose "it."
His throwing is probably still off, physically, so he missed some easy shots early. The combo of rust, injury, new school, new playbook, drops, and his misses have probably destroyed his confidence.
He'll need to buckle down and get real serious if he want any chance to right this ship, but confidence isn't something you can practice into existence. He's got six more games in college. I'm not hopeful.
When you add the Leary disaster to Brown, Key and Burton all playing well below expectations it’s hard to be very good on offense.
It really is just a huge let down, as I thought we finally might have a passer that averages 300 or better yards passing a game. Leary plus our inability to actually catch the passes he makes is not going to cut it against GA at home …..esp. at night! I thought he might be a surprise and show up for the biggest opportunity in years, but instead we Sh%t the bed. Completely undisciplined
His SEC stats have been atrocious overall. I am scared to look up his completion percentage.
It’s the difference in having any kind of chance to compete in games like this. You MUST have a capable QB that can at least make throws to open receivers. Leary is NOT that guy. He has NOT recovered from the injury because his strength was his accuracy and reading the defense quickly, he has done NEITHER very good the entire year.
I hate it for him, Coen, the team and mostly our fans.

Tonights performance isn’t only on Leary. However some of the throws he made tonight have me really scratching my head. Not under pressure and receiver wide open and throws it 5-10yds under. I have to wonder what’s going on here. Is he injured and trying to play through it, or is he a mental case or what. I just don’t see the entire staff being fooled this bad on him unless they knew but it was to late. Sorry but this just doesn’t seem like jitters or rust.
He is horrible. Might as well let Destin Wade play a little bit.
The people who thought Devin was going to be better than Will Levis were really, really wrong.

i feel like a guy who got burned on a horse trade.
The worst part is we have no alternative to him

I was that guy. Put it on the list of crap I’ve been really wrong about.
Not sure what evaluation method was used to decide between Leary and Mertz but I’d revaluate how the evaluation is done.
For as much shit as Will Levis took on here. I'd do anything to have him back.
46% n sec play.
Ouch. That includes a game against vandy too.

Leary was clearly the better player between those two at their previous schools. I have no way to definitively prove this since nobody actually associated with the team is talking about it, but I don’t think he’s come back the same from his injury. If there was a failure in the process, it was that we seemed to treat it as a foregone conclusion that he would.
And that’s on Stoops.
Heck, even Terry Wilson. At least he could run. Again I think it may be something out of Leary's control but he's been awful.
I'll do you one better....Stephen Johnson.
Well you're dreaming now lol. Johnson may have been our best QB under Stoops. Him or Bowden.
He should be benched. Give someone else a try. Surely we gave a capable backup QB somewhere.
QB play from Leary has been very poor. Probably as bad as morgan newton.
I have no problem Leary taking some heat , but is he the reason we got embarrassed tonight ? Offense is doing decent .. and we have 2 major crushing penalties on the same OL . Not Learys fault we gave up 50 plus ( I assume thats where it landed ) Our D was far worse a problem than Leary . Scheme was stupid . You have to take some chances when you are outmanned .. we played it safe from the first minute in . I'd say the coaches were worse than. Leary . And Leary was bad enough .
He’s clearly not why we lost but he’s horrible nonetheless. Can Sheron process things quickly? Because Coen is scheming them open.
Injuries change things. Surgery changes everything. His arm was never great but now it is just weak and that has affected his accuracy.
That said, his problem seems to be as much in his head as in his arm. He seems to not know plays at all.
Plus, he seems to have a vision issue. I'm not sure if he needs glasses or if he is just to short to see over the line.
His accuracy does seem better when he rolls out and throws on the move, so maybe they need to bootleg and roll him some more.

Do we have a good QB of the future or does Sheron just get the keys next year? I’d hate to lose Coen but doubt we have him long.
