I have nothing against Levis, but people are going to always be slightly bias.  Like a Kentucky guy liking Levis....

Lol I guess that wasn’t too long ago. Here is the last time I mentioned anything.  I won’t defend Levis against the other two, but I don’t understand the Richardson stuff.  Us UK fans haven’t had a ton of QBs to root for after they get out of college. Definitely a tad biased.

Yeah the UT game kind of dropped his status a little. He had a lot going against him OL, OC, WR etc…

From what I watched it seemed like they were scared to let him throw it, so many hand offs and screen passes. 

I think both he and Richardson were playing injured later in the year. Both teams kind of “nerfed” their QBs with their game plans. I also noticed both were much slower getting up from hits as well.

I honestly think neither are ready to declare for the draft. Especially if they want to go in the top ten. 

But qb needy teams will take a chance and try to get them ready for the nfl as soon as they can.

I get it though, these kids want to make some money as soon as they can. I can understand taking a shot at the nfl now and not risk injury playing another season in college.

Levis will be 24 in June, AR/Bryce/Stroud are all 21. If he goes back to Kentucky and has the same results he'll fall to a day 3 guy

I actually think that is an advantage for him in some respects.  He's more mature than the rest of his class at least.  Do not make the mistake of thinking it will hurt him. That reason alone is not why he won't go high in the draft. His game tape and system he's in will determine where he's drafted.

      Down in Atlanta....

      Exactly this as well.  Beyond age concerns--by the time they find out if they have something in Penix, they'll need to work on a new contract not long after.  The newer league winning QBs have gotten extensions by year 3 (ie. Burrow).  So, if Penix somehow lights it up year 3, he could turn around fairly quickly, probably by year 4, and ask for an extension.  ATL has really no buffer time in easing the bucks off the QB room to build a team around him.  Not to mention, they'll be needing to make decisions on Terrell, London, Pitts, Bijan, a lot of high end investments BEFORE seeing Penix through, and that's IF he works out.   Lindstrom's contract is backloaded too and they can't cut Matthews until after 2026.   Just a terrible use of resources as it relates to timing & salary allocation, no matter how you look at it.   You're in win now, so get a talent to win now.

      How short a leash will Young be on?

      it's  already going to be painful enough watching Caleb Williams throw TD passes to DJ Moore on a regular basis week in & week out   & naturally not sit there & reflect back & say to yourself woulda shoulda coulda especially if Bryce Young never looks remotely similar to a #1 pick

      Agreed.  I would expect most realistic fans to tamper their expectations.  There is a scenario where we simply over drafted him at 1, but he still has a solid career and can become a franchise QB.  That is what I am curious to find out.  Does he have what it takes to become the guy.  If he can somehow do any of the stuff you stated in year two then fantastic, but that's not where my head is at judging by his rookie play and the state of the franchise.
