How confident are you Marist Liufau will be a quality starting linebacker

[Risen Star]

Mixed bag. You look past the mistakes because he's a rookie but if they don't get cleaned up then he won't be a quality starter. Starting doesn't mean so much here as a draft pick on a team that sits out free agency. I'm sure he'll start. It's the quality part of it I don't know yet.

flashes which is good; smart player which is good; so at least we have something to hope for.

We have no hope unless McCarthy is re-signed.

If Marist Liufau manages to maintain what he's been doing lately, his recognition will be well deserved! I'm hoping for it to continue.

I think the kid will be a good starter for years to come.

He’s a starter. Is he Fred Warner? Prolly not

you really need to let people know when you are being sarcastic

Exactly. All we need him to be is good, and available on Sundays. That's fine.

Would love more but considering where he was drafted that would be considered a solid pick.

Same, I agree

 

[gtb1943]

Flashing again today; hope this is a sign of the future

I think he'll be a good one. He has good instincts, just needs to put a little more muscle on. He further along at this point than other linebackers we've had in recent memory.

 

[Blackrain]

I'm not confident in anything regarding this team he could be the best linebacker we have and if Jerry decides to draft a project in the second round that he makes his pet cat the guy May sit on the bench and never even get a chance until somebody gets injured.
With this front office you hope for the best but prepare for the worst look at our offensive line people had to get injured before we started to play or better players

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I like more of what I’ve seen from him than Demone Clark.

 

[ZekeTrain]

He did not look great on that 4th down play that cost them the game.

True. But he is a rookie. Mistakes will be made. Potential is there and he flashed. I think he led the team in tackles today. So for a fourth rd pick it looks good

 

[SackMaster]

"Somewhat confident"

It takes a special player for me to be "Absolutely confident", so he's as close as he could be as a "normal" player.

I do absolutely love how he ATTACKS THE BALL when he is close to the ball carrier. If he keeps it up, he will generate a ton of FF.

Can't wait to see what he does in 2025.

The way I see he could easily be Damone Clark Part 2

what works in his favor is his aggressiveness.

It does. He processes faster than Clark. Clark is just an athlete running.

I do worry about him being over aggressive
