The biggest mark agains Leonard that I have is that after watching cuts from his college career, he:
A. Has issues throwing from the pocket; he would much prefer to roll-out.
B. Tends to pull the ball down too quickly and run.
Both of those can work in college; neither work long-term in the NFL because everyone is at least as good of an athlete as you.
His arm strength was never in doubt.
While the odds are against him, I would rather have seen Leonard play these last four weeks and lose just like Rivers did but get some development than do the experiment we did with Rivers. Rivers entertained me but did nothing to advance the team.
How was being on the sideline vs being in the stands?
