    Levis and AR are virtually identical size with AR being a bit heavier. Strength is a wash, arm is a wash.
    Athleticism AR has but Levis is a top tier athlete in his own right by QB standards.

    Either way, Stroud is our guy. His accuracy and ball placement is something you can’t teach. Hope he hits and all the others don’t

    AR is up to 255 lbs. I don’t think a 25 lb difference is close at all.

    Where are you seeing that? I see 245.
    6’4 230 vs 6’4 245 isn’t a big difference. 255? That’s different

    I don’t want to see another kid ruin their career by eating their way out of the league like Zion has

    No doubt, I was just comparing AR to being possibly 255, which that is like D Culpepper territory, who may have been 260-265, he was a load at QB for Minny

    Says he’s up to 255 here and it was also all over twitter during training camp. I think one of the reporters asked Richardson how much he weighed. I don’t think it’s anything like a Jamarcus Russell situation because this kid has a very low body fat and likes to do athletic things. Jamarcus wasn’t super athletic, he was just really big and strong.

    Same thing that happened with Stroud beating out Mills.

    Everyone on Twitter says Levis has outplayed Willis, has better numbers through camp according to their beat writer.

    Meanwhile ours is saying Stroud and Mills have been even

    He’s a trolling tool with no life. He hasn’t even bothered to look at the stats. These are a couple days old but are more recent than douchebags comments.

    per the Tennessean

    -Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill hit all the right notes himself on Monday, at least most of them. Tannehill came out on fire, starting in 1-on-1s and it continued through 2-on-2, 7-on-7s and team drills. Tannehill, in fact, completed his first 16 passes on the day in 7-on-7 and team periods combined. The only period he didn't finish the way he wanted to was the 2-minute drive late, and it stalled after he completed his first three passes in that period. Tannehill finished the day 17-of-20 in the 7-on-7 and team periods combined, and he's now 106-of-165 in those periods through 11 training camp practices.

    -Quarterback Will Levis finished the day 6-of-8 in the 7-on-7 and team drills combined and I now have him at 71-of-115 in the 7-on-7 and team periods so far in camp. Levis threw a strike to Gavin Holmes for a touchdown.

    -Quarterback Malik Willis was also hot early, completing his first three passes to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Roberson, and Tre'Shaun Harrison before a few errant throws. Willis was intercepted in a red zone drill, but he executed a pretty effective two-minute drive that ended with a missed field goal. Willis finished the day 10-of-17 in the 7-on-7 and team periods combined. I now have Willis at 73-of-128 in 7-on-7 and team periods combined.

    Not sure why people are so invested in another team’s rookie QB, but stats in training camp don’t matter. You have no idea who they’re playing with or against nor do you know how they are performing in the huddle, team meetings, how well they are liked by teammates, etc. If the team decides that Levis is 3rd string, then he is. End of discussion.

    Because he’s a star potential QB we passed on and a team in our division has him.
    Vrabel said he was 3rd string after draft, Levis will eventually be the starter but is going to have to really earn it. Unlike Stroud.

    Should be the same thread about AR too

    This is exactly right and why the Mills vs Stroud discussions are really just for fans pleasure (or discontent). The coaches must decide on who gives them the best chance to be relevant the quickest. They have all the information at their disposal, we only have what the team controlled press reports. We would all like them to start winning right away, but it is un-realistic with such a young team and with so little time together.

    We also have several areas where we are seriously shy of depth to be a contender. I do believe our defense will be much improved right from the start, but will be extremely surprised if our offense is functional enough to win right away. I predict a 6 win season, but with great progress going into next year. I think we have pretty good depth, albeit young, on the defensive side of the ball. Our O-line and receiver corp is seriously short on depth and injuries to any of the key guys (Howard is already doubtful for the first game or 3), we are going to struggle to score and turnovers will probably be a problem.

    Most of this isn’t accurate.
    Teams don’t control what stats are put out from independent reporters.

    Stroud is being given the job. Same as Bryce and AR. None of those teams have a Tannehill or even a chance to win with a vet team. It’s easy to claim a young starter on a rebuilding team. Even when they haven’t earned it, outside of draft position

    The only reason Levis has a more difficult road to start is the players in front of him. Stroud only has to earn it over Mills. Keenum would probably be the best starter, but he is a career journeyman and starting hm would only delay Stroud’s development. Demeco, unlike us fans, must be patient and grow this team into contention over several years. Stroud will struggle for a while, just like Lawrence and countless others have. I hope you have the constraint to see the good and bad of Stroud this year and not go on all year about how he is a bust.
