I agree that I would not necessarily put a of eggs in the proverbial Riley Leoanrd basket based on one solid game against a team that pulled some of their starters in the 2nd half ...... I think that there is about a 40 to 50% chance that Leonard could actually be the quarterback that we saw in that game.

Kamari Lassiter, the Corner who should have been playing Pierce, was held out of the game.
With a lead of 20-10, the Texans began yanking starters midway through the 2nd Quarter. Until that point, the Colts had scored 7 points on a busted coverage and another 3 on a drive punctuated by a 17 yard Rigoberto Sanchez pass on 4th down and a Riley Leonard scramble for 11. Before the Texans pulled their starters, aside from the busted play, Leonard had thrown for 13 yards.
