One of the most important qualities in a quarterback is their ability to lead a team and have a respected voice in the locker room. The great ones are THE leader of their team and the guy that the team looks to when games get tough. With that said, I don't know how anyone can expect Will Levis to command an NFL locker room when he PROUDLY puts mayonnaise in his coffee. That alone was enough to remove him completely from my draft board. Intangibles matter.

Well the argument would make more sense if he was good against inferior competition like the other QBs, but he hasn’t been that great. Threw an INT against Miami (OH), 2 against Youngstown St., 0 TD 1 INT 15 QBR in giving Vandy their first SEC win in like 4 years or something crazy like that. Maybe he’s the best QB prospect, but the reasoning given here is pretty dumb.

I am curious as to what injuries he is playing through right now. He looked solid last year and I know he has turf toe, a shoulder injury (non throwing), and fingers on his throwing hand (similar to Rodgers this year). All of those plus UK’s shitty line could be holding him back quite a bit. I don’t like him at the top of the first, but towards the middle and bottom I might be interested.

Don't forget he threw for 98 total yards and 3 INT's 0 TD's against Tennessee's 130th ranked secondary. 5 rushes for negative 22 yards however that happens. That's the game where he should have put up some numbers to be taken seriously

I wonder why this guy is so polarizing, we have execs and PFF who love the guy. Meanwhile, film buffs, scouts and some talking heads don’t have him in that high of regard. 

I think NFL talent evaluators sometimes get caught in the trap of viewing a guy they want to like through the lens of what they think he can be if he both maximizes his potential AND is out in an ideal situation in terms of surrounding talent and system. The perfect scenario. Unfortunately, that perfect scenario rarely actually materializes because there's 31 other teams out there competing for that surrounding talent and coaches and scheming to beat you. You gotta look at what a guy is LIKELY to be in a real world NFL situation.

I am not going to jump on the bandwagon because of this article. However, we should listen to those that have been evaluating players more than those sitting behind a monitor showing us all his outstanding video clips.

 

Thing is he doesn't have any outstanding plays to drool over this year, yet here certain media guys are giving him the benefit of the doubt because they want the next golden boy The Golden Calf of Bristol type in the NFL, and he looks the part. Doesn't play like it but looks like it

And yet just look at the reality that there are steals and busts in every NFL draft. Always has been, always will be.

For whatever you think of Levis, anyone dumping on McCreight or bagging on him for being a "former" scout hasn't bothered to look at his career (and might not get it if they did). It's a dumb attitude to take.

Sean Payton is a fired OC too.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      You bring up a good point on the stability part and i would agree that probably will factor into it. But yes, Tepper does have a strong influence on who stays/goes but I still believe ultimately it'is Morgan, Tilis and Canales who will decide.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
