career, particularly as a head coach, may depend on it
back for a moment, RL dropped a pearl into Collins' hands on the 38 yarder, and not many QBs can strike for 50 yd running TDs at any moment. Let's also not forget that we've lost starters from the OL and all that entails...for any QB/OC.
Here's hoping that RL 'masters' the easy throws and demonstrates it against Louisville...a tough and perhaps defining game for this season.

Issues and together with his elite running will make him a winner…we’ll see shortly.
He can't throw downfield with any consistency, He can't anticipate. He can't read defenses pre-snap. He is hesitant. He is jumpy in the pocket.
He's more comfortable when he can tuck and run. Good teams will press the WRs and put 8 in the box (like NIU did), and Leonard can't make them pay for it.
being able to improve his short passing skills, which had he done so yesterday would have made it a much higher scoring game. Louisville will provide an immediate test to help resolve the question,..
btw, I'm also impressed by the performance of our beat-up OL replacements...not perfect, but they got better as the game progressed.
