Former NFL executive picks his top QB...

...and it's not who you'd expect.

From the article...

I did an impromptu poll with four NFL scouts I trust, and three of them told me he was the best quarterback in the draft. One NFC scout told me, “This [season] is an audition for him to go to a poor NFL team. He proved he can take a beating and keep getting up.” Added another NFC scout: “It is a miracle that he keeps playing every week after all of the hits he takes. He is more banged up than people think — much more.”

...

Levis has all of the tools NFL teams look for. He has the arm, size, toughness, intelligence and enough athletic ability. He runs an NFL offense at Kentucky and can manage a huddle, which many people discount. When studying Levis, there are some ugly games; that has been the history of Kentucky football. As an evaluator, you have to look at what surrounds the quarterback and who they are playing week in and week out.

...

Almost every time Levis steps on the field his teammates are inferior to the ones on the other team, which is a big deal. If you are the quarterback at Alabama you are protected by future NFL offensive linemen, you are throwing to future first-round draft picks and you are handing off to NFL-type running backs.

...

I have been in NFL draft rooms where the discussion around a quarterback from a top-5 school is seen as a negative because they never get hit and never feel stress. An NFL game is all stress and conflict. Levis will be more prepared for the NFL than if he played for Alabama, Ohio State or Clemson.

When will the excuses stop for this guy lol. Sucking on a bad college team will prepare him to suck for a bad team in the NFL? That's a new one. 2 months ago it was "The only QB running a pro style offense". If it was him adjusting at the line etc and his WR's constantly dropping dimes sure. But he just sucks.

It's a dumb assessment that he is playing poorly because he has inferior talent around him. Well, any QB with all world talent will play poorly in the NFL with a poor cast too. Look at Aaron Rodgers this year. Bryce Young and Stroud succeeding in their system shouldn't be a knock on them, they are doing what they are supposed to do with what they have = winning. We don't knock Mahomes for having Kelce and Hill, Allen and Diggs, Rodgers and Adams, why should having good talent around you be a negative? Teams should surround their QB with good talent.

Also his teammates weren't "inferior" to fuging Vanderbilt last week talent wise. Richardson gets Vanderbilt tmrw, and Levis gets Georgia. That is gonna say a lot about how to rank these 2 guys. Richardson went 50% for 1 TD 0 INT and 271 yards vs Georgia last month. Levis went about 50% for 109 yards and 0TD 1 INT vs Vanderbilt

It’s all hear say until teams put their money where their mouth is and use that draft capital on them. Willis, Howell and Corral were studs too leading up to the draft until teams showed us what they really thought 

Corral may not be good, but I still think we need a bigger sample size with a decent OL.

I believe he was drafted as a project to sit behind Baker for a couple years to see if he develops. But with Rhule gone and Baker shitting the bed. The new coaching staff will want their guy

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
