    So disingenuous. AR is far less polished and less of a processor.
    They both have extreme upside, the only thing AR is better at is he’s faster. Levis has a better arm, more accurate and still a 4.6 guy

    Ya give me AR over Levis. Might as well swing for the fences if this is the route we go.

    Passing efficiency had AR ranked 77th last year.

    If you want a super high upside guy and a better floor and don’t want Levis, it’s weird.
    Levis has as much upside as AR with a higher floor

    Yeah. Just watch the tape. Even in his best game this year, 80% of his yards were from screens or throws in the flat as first read....

    Inflated accuracy numbers. He doesn't seem to have the processing you suggest when looking at intermediate levels which is why he throws a ton of turnover worthy throws.

    You keep saying that, but can you provide some Will Levis content that shows he is capable of being good without it being a highlight package.

    Lets see some good and bad.

    I still maintain that there is absolutely no way the Texans are taking your guy at 2.

    Can you provide any stats that day 80% of his yards were flats and screens?
    None of the metrics support that. Watch the damn breakdown from Joa

    I’ve watched every game the top 4 have.
    He has warts. AR has far more and you’re clamoring for him.
    You keep saying Stroud has multiple reads-when he doesn’t-outside of a few plays. And he is absolute dogshit under pressure

    I was surprised to learn HH was #2 on that list.
    Re Stroud - I find it difficult to process how someone who is supposed to be poor under pressure can be #1 in passing efficiency.
    Go figure?

    Almost everyone has Young and Stroud as the top 2 QBs. The vast majority have Young as #1 but a significant amount have Stroud as #1. I haven't seen anyone who sees a wide gap between them. If you don't have a QB (and we don't) then passing on both of them is just insane.

    If there's any team that should not buck conventional wisdom it's the Texans. 4 playoff wins in 20 seasons. Just make the safe choice.

    The safe choice is not Stroud. 1st round QB's have a high bust rate. There are a lot of red flags with Stroud. The safe choice would be Anderson or Skoronski.

    This is such an absurd take.

    The more accurate, ball placement specialist, who processes well on tape now has bigger bust potential than the inconsistent Florida Qb.

    Yall really be saying stuff to say stuff because you have a preference.

    Ian Rappaport has come out and said there is a clear 1/2 in league circles.

    The only Levis speculation is from being a small vegas favorite and the Colts reportedly liking Levis.

    That is all there is.

    Anderson is a defensive end.
