I hope Levis is a success due to how much hate he gets. Due to how much doubt Malik Willis gets, I hope he is a huge success as well. One can be a success with the current team and another goes to another team and carves out a successful career also. Neither strike me as generally bad people but one seems to get so much hate while the other gets so much doubt. Would be funny to me to watch people get upset if both somehow turned out having good careers.

I think Dorian Thompson-Robinson was criminally underrated. I know everyone here loves Bryce but after seeing DTR on Saturday, I wouldn't have felt bad had we traded down in the first to collect picks and then drafted DTR on Day 3. I think he has a shot to be a dude. Looked better than Watson did at any point last year and looked lightyears ahead of Mond.

I know people are going to hate this, but it's much ado about nothing considering it didn't happen.

So chill. 

He was playing against 3rd stringers

I don't think there are a lot of people who really HATE Willis. He was just so obviously a very flawed prospect. Similar story with Levis. Less flawed of a prospect but ultimately not a guy you take in the first round.

Whether they succeed or not is going to be on them, at this point.

People were thinking the same about Malik last year during the preseason.

Dorian Thompson-Robinson was a 5 year starter at UCLA, played in a Pro Style offense under a former NFL coach, and has backed up his game play in practice. 

There is literally no comparison between Willis and DTR, other than an obvious one I have a feeling you're referring to here.

Getting hyped about a rookie QB after a preseason game would be the comparison. My point was don’t look too much into it. I’m not writing DTR off, just simply stating a good preseason game doesn’t mean very much.

One preseason game may not be much but his entire body of work through Spring and now Summer, in conjunction with his performance in his first game, says a lot. If it was a one off I'd agree with you but it's not. 

I also watched a lot of UCLA football since most of their games were the only thing on when they played and he was smooth, fast, making quick decisions with good reads and Arm strength. Doesn't get rattled under pressure and is a good leader.

None of those things could be said about Malik Willis at Auburn, Liberty, or now with Tennessee. 

He may not have the mental processing of a guy like Bryce Young or the raw arm talent of a guy like Stroud but outside of those two, I find it hard to believe that anyone in the 2023 draft was a better QB.

Especially when its not even a real preseason game. It was the HoF game, only scrubs play.

I think Levis gets the hate and Willis just gets the doubt. Seems people enjoy to strongly dislike one because he is nasty in that mayo coffee thing and the enjoy doubting Willis because of how high of a pick he was with being so raw. Both I hope figure it out as I always enjoy watching doubters and haters eat their words.

The thing about Willis is he was projected to he a higher pick by a lot of people, but 3rd round for a raw project QB prospect isn't that much of an overreach anymore.  I'm pulling for him and hope he makes it tough to Tennessee let Levis take over.

I don't care enough about it because they aren't our guys. If they succeed it will be their hard work that accomplishes it. If it is fueled by doubters, all the better for them.

If they failed it was also on them. The doubters were correct.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
