QB Will Levis, TEN (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Faust
- Start date
The Titans schedule is difficult (for them) and they don't usually start well so it's a pretty safe prediction the opportunity will be there for Levis (or miracle Willis) to play.
Name a Titans QB that they developed well? Several of the same guys are still with the team since Mariota but not his QB coach Jason Michael. Pat OHara has a knack for working with veterans not rookies. Charles Robinson was Ridder's coach that just joined the team to fix this problem
BUT as bad teams do- they have yet another offensive coordinator and massive turnover on offense.
Decision making problems- this takes time
It takes mistakes being made, coached up, retrained, test again over n over til the thinking is correct.
Sean Clifford is smart, safe, with well placed passes. Levis tried to outdo him and use the arm to throw far or hard for the sake of showing off his arm and...then he transferred and started to develop a QB brain not an immature one. He's not ready to make good decisions- it's in every draft critique by every writer- and that takes time.
I do not think this will be rushed at all. Not one bit.
I would bet moreso on him sitting all year or playing the final 4-5 games.
Willis or any random Josh Dobbs guy would be preferred rather than rushing him and not rewiring Levis' brain. One radio host compared him to Mahomes in Kansas City his rookie year. Who was next up on that team Chad Henne?
There's a fear that he becomes Jameis Winston (or a bunch of other same type guys).
Matt Hasselbeck has gotten some recent interviews and said he doesn't expect him to play til 2024 unless it's to handoff.
I understand I keep "beating a dead horse" here so I'll stop, anything can surely happen

The “they passed on him twice” part is laughable. They “passed” on the “opportunity” to give up Way too much to move to 3 (I’m not even sure the cardinals would have taken the same offer by the titans over the Texans anyway) and presumably they preferred Richardson. So what? So did many others.
Passing on him at 11 to get a potential future HoF Guard is completely fine. Sko was the better pick.
Levis has his warts. Most players, especially rookies do. But we’ll see how it turns out. I do think he was a good selection and landed in a good spot. Hopefully Henry hasn’t lost a step or left the team when Levis gets his chance.
Vrabel wasn't happy with a throw today. Everyone's highlight reel catch to rookie TE Whyle. He said it probably would have been picked by a veteran defender and they're going to show him and go over it again in meetings.
Also there was a sideline throw he shouldn't have made. Hard to explain but I guess it's if he was going through his reads, he never would have completed that pass then.
There's a whole lot of favorable tweets and comments about Levis today, first day in front of reporters.
Other players commented already about him studying a lot.
Good day with the issues brought to light to work on right away. How day one should have gone

Sounds good, even with the errors. Now is the time to make these mistakes and learn.

Like him, don't love him. His leadership skills, body language and attitude worry me a bit. His ceiling is probably as a mid-range QB. And that's if everything goes perfectly. He could also be a Josh Rosen.

Mayonnaise in your coffee and eating banana peels would make anyone intense.
Levis was legit third string during OTAs with third string reps.
Interesting how they're not handing him anything. I fully expected he'd run with the ones to see how he looks.
This has always my preferred approach.
Do I expect camp to go differently? Yep! But he'll have to stew on being third string for weeks and hopefully be motivated to work on technique and study the playbook etc.

You just know some indie bar in Nashville will add these to their menu.
Against the Titans fourth string secondary too.
It needs to happen though. Whatever flaws he had in college and all the predraft talk, this was expected.
How long til he learns and improves? Million dollar question

Im in a 12 tm ppr dynasty with 1qb starting now but superflex in 2025. I reached for him at 2.1 (13 overall) as I didn’t like any of the wrs or rbs enough there and I have depth. Ended up getting the last falling Rb at 3.4 in tank Bigsby too. Hope Levis is as good as I believe (top tennish)
Definitely a fine pick there.
For me, anyone in the second is developmental and initially will either not play or only play in spots so I shoot for the moon. I can't imagine anyone else with a higher ceiling than him in the 2nd.
