    Hopefully that line stays trash when we play them

    He threw 4 INTs on 2 drives and the Steelers finally caught one.

    Jags are the class of the division. Really wish we would have beat Carolina

    There’s some ridiculous talent in our division at QB.
    Hope we can get Stroud a little help and take over. Feel like next year the division is up for grabs

    We do have a crap ton of cap space next offseason but yes it looks like this division will be a fight.

    I need to take a look at potential free agents.

    I was thinking this watching too. Like the wrist flick is so impressive for how effortlessly he can throw it far, but it still looks weird. Like not as pretty. Honestly picketts throws looked rough too sometimes.

    Yep, I hope they spend some of it on A.J. Dillon and Wilkins.

    No denying that Will Levis had some great physical traits. Has an ultra quick release like CJ.

    Pittsburgh saw his tape against ATL and then the first half here.

    Take away Hopkins and make him scan the field.

    Adjustments. Personally I see a guy who was predetermined much of last night. That is something most rookie QB's do.

    But even on his pick last night. He pre determined that throw after looking off a safety. Didn't even look at the LB that was standing right there.

    His accuracy issues seem a bit better I will say. He has a chance.

    All BS aside, Levis has some potential and should be groomed to take that job for the long term. He doesn’t look overwhelmed and can really spin the ball. It looks like every squad in the division has found their young QB and can really start building their teams. The AFC South is about to get REAL INTERESTING over the next few years.

    Yeah, I def see the potential.

    Pittsburgh adjusted on him in the second half and he really struggled.

    Very curious to see how he is moving forward.

    Crazy to think that the AFC South may have had 3/4 teams reload in one draft.

    Should make for a fun division for years to come.

    This QB draft class could be good. I admit, @cmoak1982, Levis had some incredible throws.

    They have talent. Stroud is cleanest of them all.
    Levis did have some of “his” boneheaded throws too.
    I was high on his and AR upside. But Stroud has shown me some off schedule and mobility ability that I didn’t think he had.
    I do think Levis has more ability to make throws from weird angles and with zip.
    But Stroud is so much more mechanically sound and efficient.

    Way to early to tell if any of the QBs taken this year will be any good. Time will tell.

    Very true, but there’s some obvious talent

    Honestly, I really like Young and Stroud's tape even last game. High level from a mental and accuracy stand point.

    I think they are going to be good and feel pretty good calling it now.

    Young will fail if they don't surround him with better talent.

    Stroud, I would be shocked. People would be singing his praises this week if Tank or Collins didn't slip on their routes.

    Throws were great to good enough to hit on the play.

    Unlucky maybe, but I still think Stroud's issue is that his OC is putting most of his passing situations in more obvious downs.

    I feel like Tennessee did a really good job of mixing the pass and run on first down last night.

    Pittsburgh kept getting sucked up and allowed better lanes for Deandre Hopkins to beat coverage.

    I was actually watching to see how bad Levis was going to look but I came away thinking he really didn't look that bad.

    Not saying he's CJ or Bryce but he showed toughness in the pocket and he made some good throws. He can definitely improve on his decision making and learn to get out of the pocket when feeling pressure but not bad.

    If, and I think it’s still a big if, he can improve decision making. The physical skillset is on par with the elites in the game.

    I underestimated Strouds ability, but I think Stroud, Levis and AR have those abilities. I was a huge BY fan but the off schedule ability and lack of elite arm is showing up
