Posters on this board were actually arguing Richardson is more accurate than Levis. With more help and much worse stats. I have no problems having a favorite, I think we all do. Hell, I’d rather have Stroud or Young than both. But at least make some sense instead of taking weird stances like that. 

That's interesting, more accurate? I'd like to see how they argued that.

The stats thing though, they're very comparable other than completion percentage.

Will Levis

Completions: 185/283 (65.4%) Yards: 2,406 Touchdowns: 19 Interceptions: 10

Rushing Yards: -107 Rushing Touchdowns: 2

Anthony Richardson

Completions: 176/327 (53.8%) Yards: 2,549 Touchdowns: 17 Interceptions: 9

Rushing Yards: 654 Rushing Touchdowns: 9

Production wise it's pretty similar until you look at rushing statistics.

Richardson is bad at everything outside of running, he’s a one read QB for the most part so how can anyone gauge his processing is beyond me. The fact that he struggled in Napier offense is the a big red flag. I’m willing to bet anything UF next starting QB outperforms him in that same offense 

Richardson went through reads. That wasn’t the issue. Jack Miller lead the Gators to 3 points in Richardsons absence.  The next QB SHOULD post better stats than Richardson. He’s a fifth year senior.

Richardson's legs were Florida's offense. Dude was running out there with 5 stars.

Levis runs when he has to like an NFL QB, because it's an NFL offense. And his offensive line was made up of the college equivalents to Mike Remmers, Byron Bell and Nate Chandler.

Richardson played significantly better against common opponents. Their accuracy was basically the same but Richardson scored more, got more yards, and turned the ball over less than Levis against the same opponents.

Richardson ran a pro-style offense with very little spread from what I've seen. The amount of RPO I saw wasn't much considering how good of a runner he is. They really underutilized him running the ball from what I watched.

Which games do you want me to look at where his legs were the offense?

My thing is, completion percentage is such a huge part of it. Especially when the difference is over 10 percent. That’s a pretty big gap. 
 

You won’t find me stating that Will is a better athlete or runner. Richardson has a higher overall ceiling, too. 
 

I come off as an AR hater I’m sure, but I’ve stated quite a few times I’m fine if we take him and he will have my full support. Might even buy a jersey. And to be honest, there are some posters on here that have a raging Will Levis hate boner. And as a UK fan, I can’t help but defend him when I don’t this he’s being fairly critiqued. There’s plenty you can say Will needs to get better at without getting personal in your analysis.

How do you explain Levis having a completion percentage over 10 percent higher than ARs? Their common opponents is a fine argument but it doesn’t paint the entire picture.

Against common opponents:

Vanderbilt , UGA, MIZ, TENN

Richardson - 75 of 137 completions (55%), 1,190 passing yards, 7 touchdown passes, 3 interceptions, 37 carries for  161 yards rushing and 2 more rushing touchdowns.  

Will Levis - 59 of 100 completions (59%), 583 passing yards, 4 touchdown passes, 5 interception, 23 carries, negative rushing yards and 0 tds.

Both teams have poor offensive pass catcher and poor offensive lineman. Don’t pretend that Florida had significantly more help around Richardson. 

Now factor in that this was Richardsons first year starting and he is two full years younger than Levis and this is why I am higher on him than I am on Levis.

Levis is solidly fifth among the QBs I want. But there's plenty of reason to believe he could do well. That said, I stand by it:

1) Stroud
2) Richardson
3) Hooker
4) Young
5) Levis

Bryce Young is the best QB in this draft by a mile, with Stroud being a really good second option. 

Richardson I wouldn't touch in the first round and Levis I wouldn't touch at all. Hooker will be a solid QB in the NFL but never great.

      Thin sliced roast beef, provolone, and roasted bell peppers on a toasted sub roll.  At least one thing is going right today. I don't trust anyone who's never put Bugles on their fingertips to make witch fingers.

      But yeh,  Bryce is the only problem on this sorry excuse of a team. You could put Tom Brady on this team and we would still suck . Worst part is Tepper and his various band of clowns have been trying to build a competitive team for 7 freaking years and are no closer now than when it all started.

      Bryce Young Is a Symptom, Not the Disease

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Regardless of the trade and where he was picked, Bryce actively created deception. He wore a hoodie to the combine and was 15 lbs heavier because he packed on water weight because he didnt weigh near 200 lbs. He didn't participate in drills in a wide open 4 way, really 3, QB bid. Then there was all this hype over the S2 test that he had been practicing that we've never heard about in the draft process since. Does anyone think it was an accident Stroud's score on the S2 was released? Stroud said forget the score, watch his tape. Wonder why. There was a whole bunch of shady poo going on surrounding Bryce pre draft, and I for one, find it all a little too convenient.  Just my opinion, but he was a used car salesman that used some armor all and a wash n wax and maybe a set of white walls then schmoozed his way at dinner with Dave and Nicole and sold them that he was a super savant.  There was a whole lot of BS swirling around the BY hype train and he was a full fledged participant. Frank didn't want Bryce, he wanted Stroud. A new head coach does not pick a QB he has to go design a brand new offense around unless that guy is a generationaltalent, which Bryce was most definitely not. He picks the guy that best fits what he does and that was Stroud. This was Dave and Nicole's pick and they fuged this team like they've done over and over again since they've been here. They fell for use car salesman Rhule, then used car salesman Bryce and company. And the fans got stuck with the 4 years of payments on a car less reliable than Al Bundy's Dodge.
