Most titans fans are funny. We were all in love with the QB picks made ala Vince young, Jake locker, Marcus Mariota, and even Malik Willis last year. And look at the end result. They were all for the most part failures. Maybe they they all hate this pick is hope.
Some other notable big white QBs from mediocre schools who got way too much hype: Blake Bortles, Mitch Trubisky, Daniel Jones. Will Levis most likely will follow their footsteps. (Daniel Jones will fail soon. Don't be fooled by his new contract.)
The Media treats Trever Lawrence (White) as a Hall of Famer before he's even had one good season, while treating Justin Fields (Black) with skepticism.
It's pretty obvious why.
Seems like willis last year showed he is nowhere near ready to even be considered close to being a starting nfl qb even in the next year or 2,so they can have him be 3rd string or trade him to another team or have him swap positions because he seems to be very athletic
Will Levis NFL comp is Ryan Leaf. He will be out of the league in 3 years.
Will levis is not a starting QB another back up titans are one of those teams curse at the position
Will Levis is going to make it hard for Tennessee to move on from Tannehill.
Why doesn't Tenn. appear to be exited getting such a steal in the 2nd round
he will be a bust
Damn 😞
Ask me why none of his teammates showed up to his birthday.
He's also a project like Malik was . Granted he played for Kentucky but I would be 100 percent sure that Tennessee will be able to develop him
Will Levis will be the next Josh Rosen.
So now Simms says Levis is a franchise QB? The change-up is real!!
Once season ticket holder to I WILL NEVER PULL FOR THIS TEAM AS LONG AS LEVIS IS IN A F**** JERSEY! Identify give a shit if he wins the SuperBowl. I'll be happy for my friend but F the Titans.
Not sure what to say about the Levis pick. Love their 1st round pick which was a necessity. I still think TEN needs to address the WR depth chart in some way. Def a weird place for TEN right now. Somewhat Elite defense, Elite RB, Super solid QB (when healthy) and we’ll coached. Still not sold on any of the other South teams so maybe TEN with a fully healthy Tannehill can make some noise. Need to address the QB situation for the future so why not take a swing with Levis?
Serenity now, obscenity later…😆
Are y’all nuts? The JAGS BARELY won the division. The Titans almost beat them with Dobbs and a bunch of backups. Now they have a lot better roster. The Titans are the favorites in the South. Make no mistake.
Titans are stupid
Levis is not a franchise QB. He loves to throw it to the other team. It will only get worse in the NFL. Titans got a QB not THE QB.
They still ain't got nobody (other than Burks) to throw the dam ball to! 💩
Levis may have dropped right into the perfect situation. A team that knows who they are, a strong HC and won the division in '21. There is no pressure on him like a QB that picked in the top 5. The other 3 QBs went to bad teams. The Texans aren't just a bad team but a bad organization. The Colts have a rookie HC and have had a QB carrousel since Luck retired. Levis just needs to show up, learn and be ready to play when Tannehill gets injured.
Whichever QB stsrts they need to put good protection around him and have some legit weapons to throw to. king Henry will do his thing but we also need to go down field. Im anxious to see how the Tight End plays
Titans are the ideal spot for levis imo. Both kentucky and the Titans run a very similar offense based around utilizing a power RB ala Rodriguez/Henry and intermediate pass game with some shots downfield here and there.
Tennessee might have the worst receiving corpse I’ve ever seen on an NFL team.
Malik seems like a really good guy but he'll be a future XFL/USFL QB.
I truly believe Levis will be a very good Quarterback. I don’t know why he wasn’t higher. Same as Hooker. I’m so geeked we got Hook.
I'm not saying that the Jags won't win the division this year, but the only time in their existence that they had back to back winning seasons was with Mark Brunell at qb during the Clinton administration. I mean the last time it happened we still weren't sure whether or not y2k would end humanity. Maybe we should slow this whole "King's of the AFC South" talk until they show something
I want Malik to come out and say it's not his job to babysit Levis 😂
I thought you guys weren’t big on Levis
Two years ago Ryan was comeback player of the year. He got hurt because no O line and nobody to catch the ball. A.J. Brown left. Ryan will be fine
Malik ain't staying there in tn, he will be on his way soon enough. Titans will be glad if levis competes well. They will save a lot of money.
tennessee titans yes 🎉
Literally NO receivers on the titans
If Levis can't beat out Willis you know you got a bust.
Malik haven't gotten a good opportunity yet I think he can b a ok QB like baker
Levis got that Ryan Leaf kinda vibe going on…
I’m pretty convinced now that the correct comparison for Will is Phillip Rivers. They both get into their drops quickly and both have really quick releases. I think though that Will has a slightly stronger arm and more of an overhand delivery than Phillip had. And Will has an awesome compact throwing motion. I tell you Will might be a star. He certainly has a killer arm.
Wow Jacksonville kitty cats get one somewhat decent season now there kings of the south ok bud last time I heard TENNESSEE is as southern as it gets bub WE COMIN 2k23 N FOR BLOOD 😈⚔️#titanupkittycats
I respect Chris' opinion because I seen him start for Tampa Bay and play well despite a horrible situation. In defense of Malik, He's been thrown into the same situation that every rookie qb faces. We haven't seen enough of Willis, under a good oc, to know what He's capable of.
Every team and every QB needs help from teamates to go to the Super Bowl. ALL OF THEM. With some things have to be absolutely perfect like the Eagles last year with the best offensive line and the best defensive line and they were playing the easiest schedule in the nfl. Things lined up perfectly for them. The 49ers in 2019. Things had to be perfect for Garappalo. Best left tackle in the game best d line in the game. Awesome running game. Great WRs. And then their are the anomalies like Joe Burrow. He went to the Super Bowl with the 28th best offensive line. That’s not supposed to happen. Terrible o line good receivers but going. Good running game and mediocre TE play. Burrow will be back there this year and they will win it. Offensive line is going to be noticeably better. Top 10 o line this year. Already have a top 10 d line. Last year Mahomes had the best pass blocking offensive line in football. We have their left tackle now. Lol and payed less for him than they are paying a right tackle.
Drew Brees was the 33rd pick in 2000. Joe Montana was a 3rd round pick. Brady a 6th. That’s arguably 3 of the top 5 QBs of all time. I personally don’t think Levi’s is going to work out. I hope he does but I just don’t see it. Maybe in a few years.
The Alex Smith comment is spot on. Tannehill and Smith had surprisingly similar experiences in the NFL. When the Titans acquired Tannehill, Smith was who I thought he he most resembled, and it has proven out.
Pretty cool outcome. Levis' grandfather coached Peter Skoronski's dad at Yale back in the day. Now Sloronski's son is protecting his coach's grandson…….. Pretty cool. Would much prefer to hear more positive stuff like that than listening to how hot Levis' mother, girlfriend, and sisters are……… Imagine if the press had dignity?
So Levis need to sit a year he's not ready same thing said about Willis he wasn't ready he needs to sit behind tannehill Willis wasn't ready everybody agree he couldn't sit a year and learn got pushed into line up cause tannehill got hurt behind a terrible line so if the line still terrible tannehill gets hurt Levi's starts play terrible behind a terrible line and he didn't get the opportunity to sit a year and let him develop like we said Willis should do then we looking for another qb next year's draft
you gotta love the YouTube experts calling somebody a bust before they even get started, probably same people who called Josh Allen a future bust, and called Dwayne Haskins or kyler Murray future hall of famers.
Levis is Ryan Leaf huge ego overly emotional and sulks a lot on the side line in a way that leads to him playing worse and demoralizing his team.
Levis, the same Will Levis when playing Tennessee and Vandy was a 1.25:1.5 TD:INT. A QB with 5TDs and 6INTs in 4 games? He is trash and always will be. Not one season in college did he have a 2:1 TD to INT ration. He wasn't good enough to win the starting job at Penn State. He isn't a 20 or 21 year old QB. He is basically a 1.5 years younger than Hooker which 24 and 25 years old. Will Levis likes to run the ball like Tim Tebow, which will lead to more injuries. There is nothing to like about Levis other than a Big Arm. In 24 games he had 43 TDs to 23 INTs that is a 1.79:0.95 with a 65.7 completion percentage. Looking at the QB after him 58 TDs to 5 INTs a game to game ratio of 2.4:0.2 TD to INT over 24 games and 68.9 career completion percentage. What about before they got to Kentucky and Tennessee.
Penn State Will Levis didn't play much. Yet his number still not great. 3TDs to 2INTs and a completion percentage of 59.8%
Hooker at VT was not bad 22 TDs to 7 INTs with a completion percentage of 63.1%. If not for the ACL he should have been the 3rd QB and even with it should have been the 3rd QB taken. He has possibly the least red flag to amazing person ratio at QB since Tim Tebow and he can actual play QB. He would be a benefit as he wasn't the guy at UT when he got there. He went out and took the job on the field. His age and maturity that you don't have to worry about money changing him.
Will Levis is overly emotional, which is horrible for QBs. I mean, he cries on the side line sulks after turnovers. This was an issue arguably the biggest bust had in Ryan Leaf. He isn't a 20 or 21 year old he will be 24 when the season starts he should be a mile ahead of where he is and likely isn't going to be good enough for his first contract.
Willis is garbage lol. He had his chance. Horrid lol
Titans and Jags in position to dominate the division for the near future. Colts and Texans look like monkeys fucking footballs.
