As a long time Titan lover, I am not sold on Billy Jeans. I believe he’s been a warm body for us this year, and believe he could develop into a lower tier starting QB, MAYBE. Something along the lines of Tannehill or a Derek Carr and how their careers went is honestly the most I can ever see this guy doing. I truly hope I am wrong, but I haven’t seen what some of the fan base claims to see in this guy. He, with his teams help, has beaten two of the worst teams in the league… we have bad OL problems that won’t be solved in a year, we are desperately lacking at our skill positions from a long term outlook, and the coaching staff has proven to handle crunch time situations and game clocks very poorly. I don’t believe the Titans can equip him to be great, and I don’t believe he has the natural talent to elevate those around him enough to turn it around himself. If he did, he would have already flashed that somewhat but has not. Also, historically QB’s with terrible OL’s their first 2 seasons have a much lower success rate in the league than those with above average OL’s.

Once again, die hard Titans fan… but I am a realist and we all around look like shit… all the way down to Levis.

Call me a hater but this post showed up on my feed so I am going to write my honest thoughts on it, and honestly expecting to get some hate.

I am not a Tiatns fan, so truthfully i am being as unbiased as possible, but I would temper my expectations if I was a Titans fan. OP pointed out the fact that his stats have been mediocre, I wanted to take a moment to highlight the fact that aside from the falcons game his only other 2 td passes in 4 starts has come from 2 garbage time touchdowns down 27-0 vs the jags.

One of the reasons he has failed to score this much is his inconsistency. Yes as OP pointed out he makes some amazing throws but for everything amazing throw there is it always seems like a drive stopper is soon to follow and no points are netted from these highlight worthy passes.

The other thing OP touches on is the things he is doing are not normal for a 24 year old rookie. Thats because you generally dont come across many 24 year old rookie qbs. Recent ones that come to mind that have gotten a shot as starting QB are Kenny pickett and Davis mills. I am not saying he will follow the same path, but generally you don’t see much progress year to year if these guys already have extra years taken up from college.

He could surprise me, just as he did in his first start because I absolutely did not expect a 4 td, 0 int game from his first start. Or he could continue with what we have seen the past 4 starts which is below average completion percentage, not a lot of down field throws resulting in low yardage numbers and overall poor offensive production.

Only time will tell though, I don’t think handing him the keys right away is the wrong decision as that was always the plan, but I would be mindful of some real struggles that he has had.

I’m excited to see how he is in his 2nd year

Will is really coming along great. Was hoping he’d end up being at least good competition for Willis. However I was very pleasantly surprised. He has this offense looking like day and nightl. Much respect for what Tannehill has for the organization, but it seems his time has come. Thank god

I like the way he throws the ball. Seems effortless.

And a kicker

Honestly don’t see any cause for any Levis hype at this point. The head office decisions have been abysmal this year and the season sure bore the fruit of those decisions. And fwiw, Titans have always had a quarterback; from McNair forward…well, except maybe for that Texas guy.

He has all of the tools. But I’d be lying if I said I’m confident in this coaching staff to properly develop any player, let alone a qb.

He is Jay Cutler without the game breaking pick sixes yet.

I was the biggest levis supporter before the draft when almost everyone else here hated him. I still love him but God damn I’m still scared we are ruining him already. Yesterday it looked like he had time and didn’t take all his time to do reads cause he’s so used to getting hit right away. Plus where not letting him open up and control a drive.

He had that one drive which he got half hid yards on and then they let off the gas. They also didn’t let him run the 2 min drill at half even if you don’t get it that’s a valuable real time learning lesson you have to take.
