Not really seeing anything screaming #1 with a bullet. I never really bought into the narrative about this QB class in the first place though. I'd take Hendon with one of our 2nds if he's there. Maybe Levis but I really don't like the offense he's in so hard to judge 

Levis is in a pro style offense, what offense were you thinking he would need to be in to like it?

I mean the actual play calling I've seen, not the system. Mainly last game where I was trying to get a good look at him and they ran the ball like 50 times. I know they had the lead but it's hard to judge. Vs Tennessee this week should be a good Hooker vs Levis evaluation game. Kentucky should be forced to throw down field more

Yeah, they arent running an offense thats about throwing the ball 40-50 times. Kentucky had their BYE already, and Levis has 164 attempts. Ohio state hasnt had their BYE yet, and Stroud has thrown 190 times. Young's bye week is this week and he is at 221 attempts. They are in the same range.

Levis is running a variation of the McVay/Shanahan offense. His OC's for the past two years come from the Rams and 49ers (Liam Cohen, Rich Scangarello). Him and Young (Bill O'Brien) have NFL guys calling plays out of NFL playbooks.

Ohio State has had their BYE. It was the week before they played Iowa.

There’s no comparison with Fields beyond the same school. Stroud throws a better ball and Fields was a one read QB. Stroud is the total package. 

It's just lazy analytics.  Is Hurts like Jones, Tua, or Young?  Is the current Clemson QB anything like Lawrence?  Be better people.

    • Sheesh, that's a tough schedule for our rookie QB.
    • One of the hardest things I ever had to do was learn how to push/drive with power again after a knee injury that was really a repetitive motion injury. Even after 7 years, it's still something I have to consciously make an effort to do or I slip back into my old habits. Those things don't just go away. 
    • I think he is such an outlier people didn’t know what to do with him coming up. If he can get by with his unique mechanics and get the win, those coaches accept it and work around whatever they need to. Path of least resistance. Easier to put him in the gun and snap it to him back there, you don’t have to teach him to do under center drop plant throw timing stuff. Matter of fact that isn’t just him. That is all over high school and college. But he is a special case with that crazy parallel meandering back pedal on the tippy toes. That is height related, seems to me. It is how he adapted.  Talk about fixing it, tall odds, as fuged up as his mechanics are relative to proper. What Warner is pointing out (and explaining it much much better than I ever could) is a lot easier to talk about than do something about.
