This season has certainly been more lows than highs and I know he hasn’t been perfect, but we should all be thankful that we got Will Levis to Nashville and that it’s looking like he’ll be our guy for years to come. His stats haven’t been elite and he’s made his mistakes/has a lot to work on, but there’s so much potential with the kid. Some of his throws, the touch he puts on balls when it’s needed, and the strong presence in the pocket isn’t normal for a 24 year old rookie. There is a lot of room for him to grow in addition to the skill set and intangibles he already is showing. This may be a down year but if Will can stay healthy it might be a blessing in disguise that he has this season to get his feet wet and adjust to the NFL without so much pressure to win right away, although he’s shown he can be a guy that will know how to win games as his career progresses. As a Vol fan, I wasn’t too happy when we called his name at the draft but I’m so glad he’s been proving me wrong. Let’s see what the rest of this season holds and no matter what happens we can all be excited for the future of what Levis can be for the Titans.
I can concede and say fair enough! We will just have to see a larger sample size.
But since you asked and the sample saize we have is all we have…. I don’t believe one throw shows top 10 arm talent. In fact we know it doesn’t. I believe he’s got a very fast release like Kurt Warner but up to now that’s all I believe we know. I mean yeah, he desperately needs an OL and some complimentary talent in our WR room to fairly Judge him but my point still remains…… if he doesn’t / can’t even elevate some of the worst receivers the NFL has to offer to play a tier above where they are at, I darn sure don’t expect him elevate a top tier WR’s talent. Stroud walked into an equally bad OL situation without an all time great RB like we have and literally elevated every fucking guy on that team and whether you like that comparison for your feelings or not, it’s a valid one considering we beat the Texans twice last year. Houston can now run the ball. Why? Stroud and his ability to spread the field. Why can they pass the ball now? Stroud and his ability to spread the field…. Like I hate to hear someone say the comparison can’t be made because anyone in this sub last year would have laughed had you been told they’d be where they are now and it’s because one dude has elevated their whole team to a different level…. I just don’t see that capability with Levis.
Maybe we get some OL talent and WR talent and he gets a whole off season practicing as QB1 and comes out and is on fire and shows us some real evidence that there’s something to build on. Until then, I think I’m being kind to call him a tannehill or carr… both of this guys kept starting jobs for a long time in the NFL.
Levis has made a million “top 10 arm talent” throws just because you haven’t seen them or can’t recognize them doesn’t mean they haven’t happened.
Qbs don’t elevate bad Wr play that’s such a tired over used and wrong myth. Tell me how is Mahomes elevating his Wr corps? Did you watch their last game?
And you don’t need your qb to elevate a top tier Wr corps I mean what are you even talking about lol that’s the point in having one they don’t need help they are already great.
Your evaluations are terrible. Doesn’t mean you can’t have them but just that they are terrible
The Texans pass blocking (when healthy) is one of the best in the NFL by almost every metric, regardless of who is playing QB. Plus it looks like they drafted an absolute DAWG in Tank Dell. Stroud sits in the pocket forever sometimes, he’s not a fair comparison. Also I think this year (chiefs) proves that QBs elevating bad WRs is an extremely hard thing to do, especially if your blocking is bad.
The first 4 games which I referenced they had a bottom 5 o line. Choose to read and ignore what you want but don’t present a bogus argument to try and prove your point.
