Todd McShay seems to really like Anthony Richardson

I don't think I ever saw Levis play so I'm curious why he gets the hate he gets here?

I know some analysts say he has the tools and size of a prototype qb.  I know he played sec opponents without the supporting cast most sec teams have.

For negatives, I think he turned it over too much last year.  I've seen some here mention his age.  How old is he?

Is there more than that?

I think the general story is he was in place to have an amazing year and just kind of fell flat. His team sucks but there were expectations on him to play above the level of his team and he seemed to regress to their level instead.

Not a lifelong starter. Not the Next Big Thing people here think he will be. If he even makes it in the NFL, he'll be a backup.

Not a lifelong starter and only making as a backup if at all are two different things. Seems like you're leaning heavily toward the latter so just make that the definition. Out of the league in how many years?

I mean, a guy like Joe Flacco is a bust by your first standard.

AR will be a bust in the NFL. So if one of you wants to Quote this and save it to memory, please do.

Taking him at 9 will be the dumbest thing this franchise has ever done.

 

We traded two first round picks for Sean Gilbert (which I think turned into Champ Bailey and LaVar Arrington), so this doesn't even register.

I think it’s both his 2022 tape wasn’t close to as good as it was in 2021 and a general backlash of fans who watched him this year after reading about him being a top QB candidate and having not watched him before.  
 

His flaws were definitely magnified this year with a bad oline and some mobility limiting injuries. Then his age on top of that makes him decently unappealing.

Also he’s not even the biggest upside guy in the draft with Richardson being in the same general archetype.

Levis is 23-24, so only a couple years older than most of the other QBs. Some say he was injured for most or at least part of last season. That said, in the games I saw, he never acted hurt or seemed hampered in any way. His play regressed from 2021 stats wise. In the games I watched, he seemed to make a lot of poor decisions or throws. He does have the size and arm teams and fans crave though.

I think Richardson is going to have to hope UF is glowing when they get asked about him.

He's going to be all about the interviews and comparing early season to late season tape.

He'll have to show marked improvement as the season progressed and a driven / coachable attitude. He has a long way to go, but he has the best tools in the Draft at QB and he's already making plays despite being so raw.

He's a Redshirt Senior. He's currently 23, he'll be 24 by the time the season starts. 

With regards to the other stuff, it depends which analyst you ask.

Yeah, I think he is gonna get a bigger deep dive than most for those reasons.

I wouldn't say I "hate" him. But he's very similar to Darnold in that he has all the physical traits you'd want on a QB but then you watch him play and you just don't see an actual QB. He has a lot of the same issues as Darnold. Locks onto his first read. Slow through his progressions. Turnover prone. I just don't see the mental makeup of a QB. I see a physical specimen without the necessary mental makeup. Then you realize that Darnold is only two years older than Will Levis. Levis should not still be as raw as he is as a prospect.

Ok, he won't be a starter. He may START a game, sure. But it's not his destiny. Is that more clear than "bust"? I don't think he's going to be a star. Simple as that. Others think he's the next multi-year MVP who will win trophy after trophy ... and that's their right to think that.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
