This isn’t even about the booing (I don’t boo my own team) but about the value of bringing Malik in a few times per game. I noticed it on his run in the second half. If you watch the sideline, you can see that Levis is getting some intense coaching during that play. My guess is the reason Levis hasn’t played much thus far is that he’s still growing into the playbook, and it seems like they’re using Malik to give themselves a minute to explain to Levis what they’re seeing on the drive and how he needs to react. That will probably decrease as Levis gets a better command of the offense, but it seems like a good use of both guys. (I like Malik as a person so I hope he can develop into a career backup for someone, even if it’s not us, but having two cheap QBs would be really good for us the next two years.)

    I’m happy with Willis coming in for a running play when the situation makes sense. First & 10 at mid field? Nah. 1 & goal? Sure, Taysom hill scores plenty and he’s not a great thrower. You just can’t put him in situations where he’s so clearly inferior and needs to run the offense. It undercuts your QB1 and the defense absolutely doesn’t respect it.

    If he got 4-5 carry’s a game and transitioned to gadget guy, I’d be fine with that.
