    Will Levis against Tennessee: 98 yards, three INTs, QBR of 16.4. This guy is not a top 10 pick.

    People just fall in love with athletic freaks and don’t appreciate consistent play making. This is why I’m on the Bryce Young or wait till next year train because the other QBs in 2023 haven’t demonstrated an ability to play well under pressure and under duress in the pocket.

    No way you wait till next year. Draft a first round quarterback for three years straight if you need to.


    But I'm on the Young train.

    Ok, looks like I'm going to have to join the Bryce Bandwagon! After today's game I'm also ready to draft or sign tons of defense lineman, a Center, a Guard and 2 LBs. God, that was ugly football.

    Yeah you can see with Malik Willis what a qb with a strong arm, but no anticipation or accuracy looks like and it’s not pretty.

    If a guy isn't your guy then you dont draft him. I'm coming around on Young. But I'm scared to death of his lack of size. I'm not spending a 1st on any other QB in this draft. Young has a calmness about him and he's a big game player.

    Levis looks alot like Allen coming out of college. His OL is terrible and he lost WanDale from last yr. The Kentucky defense also isn't very good. I really still want to wait until 2024 for a new HC and let him work with the QB of his choice. Do you really want Lovie/Pep to work with the new QB?

    In no universe is Anthony Richardson a better QB prospect than CJ Stroud.

    I saw a mock earlier with Hendon Hooker going #2 to the Texans. The current heisman favorite has looked like the best player in CFB this year. He definitely passes the eye test, age will be the #1 topic of conversation

    He passes the eye test if you don’t take into account that his offense is the most gimmicky in college football and only asks him to read half the field.

    That would set this team back years.
    The only QB worth drafting in the first is Young.

    System QB will be the bigger topic IMO. His age is what it is.

    If there is anything everyone should know by now, is that drafting a QB is a complete crapshoot.

    It is, but I'll take a guy that does full field reads, has great pocket presence, and is mentally advanced at the game over a pure physical freak any day.

    That’s the issue with Hooker, he isn’t a physical freak by any standard and he doesn’t make full field reads
