QB Will Levis, TEN (1 Viewer)

Levis has had the toughest schedule of any QB based on secondary matchup.

I guess there's that
 
DFS sites are pegging him as the dart throw this week.
The accuracy I've stated for weeks plus the bad Colts secondary.

I could do this but he's gotta show me before I will in redraft

Yeah he’s out there in my superflex league where I’m pretty darn weak at QB. (Herbert, Stafford, Dalton).

But I just can’t seem to pull the trigger on him.

Callahan put the bad passing game on him.
He said they gotta pass better and while shpeal how it's unacceptable but it's on him.

Levis' quotes on INTs seem like repeats of things he said previously.

Callahan can't lose the team by standing by Levis has been a narrative for a couple weeks now.

Defenders frustrated
Ridley frustrated
Got some no comments from offensive players
The pot is definitely stirred for a Levis benching

BUT Callahan again said Levis is our guy not changing etc
 
I hate it now when coaches take all the blame. It’s so tacky and corny. Why even say it? We all know it’s your fault. It is cringey to hear a coach say “we need to coach better”.

Next year’s starter isn’t on the roster.

I don’t love Beck but he’s probably a major upgrade and solid.

"Callahan on Levis: Outside the interception, thought Levis played well. Says they need to do better “around him.”"

Does he just not want to go to Rudolph and trying to prop Levis up as much as possible?

Rudolph is what Levis will be a couple years from now. I really thought Levis would look ok this season with that WR room but he's a poor man's Daniel Jones.

There is some percent chance that Rudolph is good. He had a concussion that was severe and takes three years to overcome and it was reasoned as that's possibly why he was so good for the Steelers late last year. He threw for 82% rate thru camp which is wow. In the half he played, they had a lead and were not losing it. They ran and had him dink n dunk or throw it away; with quotes like he did exactly what we asked, after the game.

Levis' arm is clearly bothering him. He doesn't know what healthy enough to win is and shouldn't make such statements. He had plenty of velocity on his passes. They were just often a bit off. Not an excuse. They have talented targets that should be able to catch em. It doesn't account for bad decisions. Firing it when it's unnecessary and all the usual. I disliked him making that statement after a loss.

Rudolph and Callahan talked quite a bit on the sideline and I haven't noticed that before.

Levis' head is shot. He needs to be benched. He's overthinking everything and me sitting on my couch can see it. He's so timid. The college kid was full of vigor and fired all over the field and ran recklessly like a former Lacrosse player he is and... we didn't see him today. Like a zillion young QBs before him, we saw the shellacked version that probably has a bit of PTSD. He needs to sit. He's a former second round pick and $ will have little bearing on his roster status for 2025. Just sit him.

He can do Mayo commercials and grow a Mettenberger stash and just chill.

The QB coach is right behind the ST coach imo as someone clearly not doing his job well. Levis has had a recurring prob this year of not getting everyone set at the LOS in time. That's amateurish. High school stuff. Discussion of what's the C job and what's his with barking out blocking orders at LOS. Discussion of often throwing to first read. He didn't have these probs last year. I think those are coach fix issues.
He's lost the locker room and the prior paragraph probably led to that some. They had patience but it seems gone now. None of those 30ish players knew they'd lose this much and the WRs sure didn't expect 0-2 catches per game. If they do get another contract that will cost them. The D is always on the field due to his three and outs and that builds up over time.

Callahan risks crossing the line from blind faith to foolishness.

The Titans play the Bills and Lions and they have no chance w Levis and like 2 percent w Rudolph.

If they're 1-6, I think the GM gets fired. Does he actually? Idk but the air will be there so I have little doubt he's saying "you better play Rudolph" and calling Tannehill and whatever teams to try and create a QB out of nowhere. I think 1-6 looms large.

Novel of a reply but....that's how I see everything.

Sometimes these post-hype saviors need a change of scenery to succeed. Darnold and Mayfield did it, this could be Rudolph. At this point in the season, Tenn may want to consider it.
 
Also thought Levis was going to take steps forward this year. Unless there's something physically wrong with him, don't see the point in switching to Rudolph. Give him a chance to work it out, Titans aren't going anywhere this year, a couple potential extra wins isn't going to do anything for them other than move them down in the draft.

As a UK fan I told you guys what you have in Levis. The issue with Levis is mostly between the ears.

If I was the owner and my coach said this after this game I would make an immediate coaching change. I would never accept a coach who normalizes bad play. Horrible take

She talks privately to the GM and Coach every Tuesday. She's fired GMs for "shining" her. I'm sure they tell her straight up. She's Bud's daughter and knows the game oh so well and was raised on it. I have no doubt there's a version said to the public and a version behind closed doors.
 
How many young QBs have we seen play just like this? Anybody have a guess as to why? Everything is short and bad decisions compound it all. They don't seem to grasp the dynamic flow of defenses. I dunno. Why???

Quite the contrary,he's saying what he needs for job preservation.

You can believe him or not but Mike Lombardi has said multiple times the primary reason she fired Vrabel was that he did not share her vision for Levis. Secondly he's reported the new coach needed to share that vision and if you go back and hear her comments about Levis in the little interview she did after she fired Vrabel this all sure sounds like it checks out.

If/when ownership/upper management gives him the green light I think he'll show us what he really thinks of Levis.

Lombardi has no connection to Vrabel and his reports are often especially questionable.

Vrabel stuck out his chest. There's different reports as to what he said but he essentially gave the GM "do you know who I am" and then met with the owner and did the same. He did not enter the post season meeting with a teamwork, "how can we or I be better" mindset. In an interview a while later he admitted to saying he was coach of the year and he felt...which also lent to these reports.

Amy isn't a meddlesome owner at all. She's human. She's hugged Marcus and Henry before they left. She loves Hopkins and his blind mother. She doesn't meddle. The rare times she's spoken has been that she wants a good product for the new stadium
 
Lombardi has no connection to Vrabel and his reports are often especially questionable.
He actually does through NE and he's highly connected in general. Also find his reports to be spot on.

So suffice to say I think he's being 100% with what he's saying, and you got a fandom blindspot.

Lombardi knows more than Vrabel does out of his own mouth...ok
 
Mike Keith said they're not changing the QB.
His "Brian Callahan show" with the coach will be on in an hour or so. I expect he'll ask

There's even an article on his bogus report
"After this went viral, Lombardi said that he misspoke about Vrabel's contract."

He didn't ask him about Levis.
Weird after Keith's prior conversation an hour before but...

They generally only talk positive things so maybe someone can twist that. I'm just assuming coach said he had answered enough Qs on that topic

Yeah it's possible Rudolph might be good. He was in that same draft as Baker and Darnold who revived their careers on new teams. That said, I have watched a lot of him and I'm not sure he can process the game at the speed required. It doesn't seem like Levis can either.

Brutal Levis press conference today for social media.

He's very comfortable
He knew all the plays and would have been ready to play Thursday.
Reiterated his shoulder good enough to win comment.

He's just pouring gas on the meme makers and gripes on social media
 
Titans OC said the Titans coaches got together as a staff and watched every pass play on Monday. He said usually it's 20 minutes of lowlights and highlights but they decided to go over everything and make sure they're on the same page w everything.
He mentioned defensive adjustments, OL play, Tackles losing so the ball not going to that guy.

He did not say QB play. I infer it was discussed since ya can't watch every pass play and not discuss the guy passing the ball.

I think it's possible they discussed sticking w Levis or not.
 
Same issue brought up as him not getting them to LOS fast enough but now it's added that the offense isn't getting into the huddle quick enough. I think that's what "we don't believe in you" looks like and can't remember that ever happening with a good QB.

Some things have come out-
They won't be tolerating mistakes unless it's your first start.
Many players corrected Levis many times and Rudolph explained what those players are seeing.
Everyone is saying the word tolerance

Mistake prone guys would be Levis, NPF, Chig, Burks, and maybe Ridley
 
On the practice videos, Levis' wrist is taped or bandaged up. Presser was before practice so they wouldn't have known to ask and it wasn't on the injury report.
Idk what it is.
I saw someone speculate he used a weird release due to his shoulder pain and tweaked the wrist. Idk..fine guess?
 
I hear frustration.
Guy went from Lawrence to Levis and he's simply explaining why Levis stunk. Theres definitely a different tone this week.

Not an injured wrist sooo idk. I just don't know.
Speculate some weird thing because he's a quirky dude. He can be odd
 
So lots of breakdowns released and different QB gurus are explaining the Titans altered this and did that to make the game as simple as they've ever seen for a QB.

95 yards is a failure
One said it's like spelling your name wrong on the SATs when they give you so much for that.

Their guesses of Monday's meeting range, of course, but they think it was to step back from "this is our guy" and say "here's why."

They all mention leadership stuff. One said a story of injured QB saying "help me win this guys" and everyone fired up. He can't imagine anything positive in that huddle and says without any public dissenting opinion (besides Ridley) that's a heckuva team environment because plenty others would have spoken out. He thinks coach's will recognize that and make the change

I can't give details or quotes due to pay walls and usual stuff

@AdamSchefter
Titans QB Will Levis is dealing with a grade 2 AC sprain in his right shoulder and could be sidelined beyond Sunday’s game at Buffalo, per sources. This is considered a 4-to-5 week injury, and Levis has played through injuries in the past, but this one will be a week-to-week situation.

********

When he hurt it initially, radio hosts kept discussing what an NFL team's responsibility is to stop a player from injuring himself further. Imagine Levis launching a bomb, strains the shoulder, and the tear becomes worse.

The Titans are acting like it's Levis' choice and he may be back next week but (regardless of poor play) I have to question if it is his choice. I think the docs and trainers....well can anyone think of a QB injuring their throwing shoulder as a prior discussion point?
