David Tepper is keen on Will Levis

There is no guarantee Levis will be around when we pick.  If he interviews well and his workouts are as expected he could still go top 3 no question, if not #1

I’d love for Levis to go #1. It would destroy mock drafts and cause chaos and I would love to see it.

I'm just here to say that I was wrong about Zach Wilson. That's my opinion on Will Levis.

We currently pick 8 and first round qb's have some of the biggest bust rates of any position. Blindly taking a qb in round 1 is not the answer. We need to keep our options open. Quality qb falls to us take him. If not, trade back and take the Notre Dame TE or edge or wr. I still want to see what Corral can do with some real coaching and practice snaps. 

If I didn’t think our roster was right there with being able to compete I would agree. The only way teams can beat us right now is by forcing Darnold to beat them. See the Steelers game, I don’t know the exact number of rush yards we had, but it wasn’t good at all. The Steelers scored 24 points and won by 8. 
 

We are a QB away from being real contenders. What free agent do you see being able to put us over the top in the next few years? I see none.

I take the reports about Tepper liking players seriously.

From what we've seen though, I don't think that means anything.

It has already been reported from insiders that Tepper lets the football people make the decisions. He is just included in the discussions. He isnt running the franchise like a dictator, and he even said in his presser that he doesnt want to be the guy making picks for the football team. That's why he hired Fitt.

I’m impressed by his physical attributes. I’m not impressed by the way he footballs.

 

I’ll dive into more of his film come draft time. Maybe I’m missing something.

Not broken Wentz was an mvp talent.   

i think the big problem is a QB having all the tools and what he does with them. Josh Allen has them all and uses them correctly. Carson Wentz has all the tools and misuses them. 

one other major issue wentz has is his attitude...abrasive personality, poor leadership skills, not coachable. none of these things have i heard being issues for Levis. 

the only comparison i see talked about is a guy with top tier talent and ability, but who is massively inconsistent.

For sure but imo the major injuries early in his career has made him gun shy about playing.   He doesn't like to get hit so he throws bad passes and he is reluctant to move around and out of the pocket.   Those injuries must have taken a wicked toll on him.  Similarly to luck but he just said fug it I'm done.  Not worth it

Dr Lunker told me otherwise

i dont get the reference, I am sorry.

Cool so another bust incoming 

[Jackie Lee]

This was taken from an Ellis article that said Tepper was interested in Levis before the college football season even started. Levis proceeded to look horrible. I would hope his opinion of him has changed since September

It’s interesting to know where his heads at but nothing ever comes of him liking whatever player so the information is essentially useless imo
