Will Levis Overreaction Thread

[BabyChark23]

Starting a thread because I can’t be the only one who wants more discussion on this.

So, I didn’t see the game, but he had a really good stat line on my bench. Is someone who watched the game able to comment? How did he look? My gut instinct is to throw him on the trade block and hope for someone in my league to overreact, but is he actually good?

It looks like his 2021 film was, indeed, more indicative of his ability than his 2022 tape.

Still gotta see more before we can tell if he's "good" or not but the talent was always there and he did a good job of avoiding bad plays this game. We'll see where he goes from here but I'd be cautiously optimistic.

Trade block it is…

I watched the game. My takes:
- He got more time in the pocket than the TEN OL usually provides
- He nailed long throws that resulted in scores
- He was let down by drops by both Burks and Chig. Chig's drop was absolutely atrocious and killed a drive
- He clearly got confident and built off that

He's going to get several more weeks as the QB1. That's good in that he'll get practice reps. It's bad in that the film will be out there now.

He's obviously owned in all SF leagues. I can't imagine that he could be bought for a 2nd at this point so there's probably no action item here other than to hold if you own him.

Let's remember Jordan Love put up similar stat lines early this season and has fallen off precipitously.

Agreed that there is no sense trying to buy at this point. But what price what induce you to sell, in say, a 12 team 2QB format? A mid 1st?

Depends on the league. But yeah, I own him in one SF league where other owners are cheap about QBs and would take that. Generally he was an early second, so upgrading to a mid-first on one good game is a decent flip. I think he's worth whatever Jordan Love is worth. Right now that feels like a good comp.

Gotta say, the refs let Hopkins get away with some of the most insane OPI I've seen in a minute on those long bombs.

Fair play to them for helping make an otherwise game watchable, and letting D-Hop turn back the clock. They're right that that's more fun.

Its quite possible that the whistle isn't quite as kind next game out - but good for Levis, for sure.

Lol take the first “OPI” td away from Hopkins away and you still have a 3 td day for Levis

That throw he made on his fourth touchdown pass was un real

He looks good. Was pretty comfortable back there and we know he can sling it with ease. Just go look at that last TD of the day. He's on the 45, outside the opposite hash and throws it 50+ off his backfoot with 2 defenders closing in.

Lots of screens and checkdowns in this game, which is fine, they won the game. Just needs some touch/better placement at times and I would like to see more intermediate throws not end up underthrown. Otherwise, that was a very solid outing. Willis is toast as should be Tannehill. Might as well play Levis rest of season and get a good evaluation on him before deciding on the future.

Someone mentioned it regarding Henry, but I think it was smart to hold him if there were no good offers. Give Levis a few weapons to get a proper look at him. You could do worse than Henry/Spears and Hopkins/Burks/Chig

After a solid post Why did you flip and start Hating on him?

There's a lot of talent in this offense.. but the lack of veteran leadership really shows. These kinds of weird plays are not unusual for the packers.

They've also made a significant effort to have Love play within structure the last few weeks and this offense is just not executing to the point where that is the higher EV play. Maybe it's better in the long term but Love is a lot more dangerous when they take off the training wheels and let him play like a gunslinger.

I don't see Levis suffering from the same issues on a veteran team with a true #1 WR and a run game that supports him.

I doubt he looks this good the rest of the season as he had more than a few warts coming out of college and it's unfair to expect him to have cleaned all that up this early into his NFL career but he won't suffer from the same dysfunctional offense.

Edit: wrong link

Great throws on all of the deep bombs, for sure. We always knew he had a cannon, it's the best thing about his game, and it looks to have translated to the NFL level. That absolutely rules, I am always here for more trebuchet QB play.

Maybe he can continue living that way, and only hitting deep 70 yard bombs. It's typically not sustainable, though. This is a VERY abnormal chart:



I'm absolutely fascinated to see more of this guy. He's unquestionably the most interesting QB in TEN right now.



Plenty to love, still a lot to question. Fun player.
