But can he operate an iPad?

If Angeli plays, he will do well.

Let's see, why don't we play an injured (mediocre so far) QB instead of next man up QB.

Start w/ half a QB (RL). Playing him injured means you have one quarter of a QB. Real smart.

If they can’t run him (and they didn’t after he got hurt), then he isn’t close to our best QB.

Spot on
Riley Leonard's main strength is his running ability. Without it, he's little more than a taller version of Drew Pyne who can't even make a medium range throw (20 yards), and will ignore the open receivers (downfield in this case). If anything, Pyne was a better short range thrower.
The offensive line isn't as good as 2022's, and they can't help conceal Leonard's weaknesses.
My hunch is that he won't start, or if he does, only for a series or two.

It's a dumb decision to start Leonard. That type of injury doesn't get better by playing.
Purdue will be teeing off on the injured shoulder. Bring Leonard in only if Angeli fails.
Your first sentence says it all. BTW, It's a perfect excuse to sit him

Exactly. You can sit him w/o looking like we're in panic mode.
Riley can sit because of injury, not benched because of performance. He still can be utilized during the season and you never know when he may be needed. Unless OL improves though, it might not matter who the QB is. Don't forget, it was MF who said on national TV that Riley needs to play within the offense, whatever that means.

Good info, thx for posting. Feel better?

It’s a pre-excuse for Purdue.

No. It is damning of decision to keep him in 2nd half again UNItards.

For pulling him?

Leonard is damaged goods. Time for a change.

How ugly do things get if they lose to Purdue.
Or worse yet get blown out?
They won't. They might even go on a mini-winning streak
This will calm things down just enough to make simpletons think some sort of progress has been made -- until reality once again intervenes.
Being inconsistent means that they can't even be relied upon to lose when things look bad.
Will win a few until we get thumped by someone later. USC perhaps

They will get very ugly but nothing will change.

Well, hopefully the AD isnt just a figurehead for the administration.
