After last night, I think the whole Levis link to the Colts was leaked by them to protect AR. If they can sell they are interested in Levis, a team below them wont feel as pressured to trade to #3 if they like AR, thinking they might be able to stay put.

Look for similar conversations next draft 😕

Precisely.  As always, it's somewhere in between.

Between those beating the Levis drum for months on end (we know who you are...) and those unnecessarily panning the guy's character and whatnot.  Teams have legit concerns, we don't really know the details, and we can claim we do, or over analyze to the inth-degree, but they just didn't see a R1 guy at the end of the day.    

Simple as that.  He's not bad, could still do well.  But team's don't view him nearly as highly as some thought.

My take on Levis (Richardson too) was based on the fact that I don't value physical traits higher than intangibles.

I know a lot of people do these days ("You can't coach those things" tends to be a popular line) but I don't buy the notion that you can just easily take a guy who's a physical specimen and train him to be a quarterback. Plenty of prior attempts to do that have failed.

Give me the guy who already has the quarterbacking skills over the guy you hope can learn them ten times out of ten.

Thank you. Wasn’t sure on who #1 was but I know during their bickering he mentioned Levis was his 2. 

It's hard to keep up with because he's adjusted his rankings between the top 3 a couple times over the last several months. He has had all three of them as #1 at some point lol.

Initial rankings (September 2022): 

1. Stroud

2. Levis

3. Young

Updated rankings (December 2022):

1. Levis

2. Young

3. Stroud

Final rankings (April 2023):

1. Young

2. Levis

3. Stroud

This.  Plenty of guys with superior physical traits have failed at the actual of job of playing the position.  Most recent example is Trey Lance.

Between the rumblings that Levis was going in the top 10, some saying top 5, the rumblings that Stroud was going to drop out of the top 10, and the rumblings last year about QBs going in the top 10 vs. the reality of all those, what we have learned is what we knew: don't believe anything you hear between the Superb Owl and the draft.  It is basically all noise, with just enough truth (some of which is like the proverbial blind squirrel) to make the believers yell "see, see, that was right."

Just looking at team needs/QB situations vs. the prospects left, I would be surprised if Levis lasts beyond Tennessee in round two, unless they like Hooker better.  The Raidahs could also grab one of those two a few picks earlier.  The Foreskins and Atlanta are also supposedly looking for a QB longer-term (I am less convinced about Atlanta). 

Once we get past Levis and Hooker, there is another dropoff to the next level.  Maybe McKee is interesting to somebody as above the rest, but that's about it.  Teams looking for somebody that they might work into a starting roll in a year or two probably have to focus on Levis, Hooker, and maybe McKee.  That list probably ought to include the Jets, but I doubt if it does.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
