Will Levis passes the eye ball test at Kentucky, but no one really talks about him getting beat out by Sean Clifford at Penn St. and having to transfer to Kentucky.  That raises questions for me. How can we expect Levis  to lead an NFL team when he couldn’t beat a guy that won’t be drafted? 

I get the questions about CJ Stroud in the Ohio State offense, but when you watch the tape CJ  looks like a future star. I like both prospects but it’s important to get it right this time. I hope our scouting staff looks at every potential aspect and scenario to uncover flaws for both QB prospects. Baker is fool’s gold. We don’t need to be starstruck.

Coach Franklin has been know to play his older players. It’s just the way the runs the team. The backup qb at penn st drew allar was one of the best passers in the country and unlocks their playbook but he still goes with Clifford.

 

it’s not Levis unable to beat out Clifford, it’s Levis unable to be old enough for Franklin. I’m sure there are some PSU fans on this board who can validate this. 
 

also, Franklin is a hell of a recruiter but a mediocre game day coach.

GMs and coaches have to choose what philosophy you embrace. Find a guy who is football savvy, a quick processor and a great game manager who is accurate and has an average NFL arm like Jones. Or you pick a guy with great athleticism which translated often to lots of one read and run with lots of short passes and limited reads so he might have great potential but he will need lots of work being raw like Willis. After all the job of a college coach is to win games not develop players for the NFL. Are there guys who have it all and could come in and start at a high level who come from a big program and have the football skills, and the athleticism so the learning curve isn't so extreme. If so I want that unicorn. Before I just pick a guy at QB when we already have Corral I need to know he is the one. Otherwise I can have the best player in the draft at any position or trade back to let's say 10 and get more picks.  I want that unicorn. Is that the guy from Kentucky? Or maybe Stroud or McKee

Didn’t Joe Borrow have to leave Ohio state to go to LSU because they started another QB over him? Tua over Hurts, it’s happened plenty of times before.

9 rushing TDs

Yeah but 3.2, 3.5 and -1.4 ypc isn’t good. Also I’m sick of people acting like QB rushing TDs matter. Most of the time they are just running it up the middle for a few inches, stretching out their arms for the td or running it in while the defense is covering everyone else so the qb litterally has to walk into the end zone for an easy score.

If our RB could consistently get those goal line TDs or third and inches we'd be a better team.

We've been spoiled by Cam in that respect because 3/4 and inches was almost automatic.

Levis is no Cam but he can get you those third and inches, third and ones.

Also, he has a new OC so he may be limiting runs by his QB.

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
