So let’s talk about Levis

[rebelrouser]

I don't get all of the hate for the kid. So he posted some weird stuff of him putting mayonnaise in coffee and eating bananas with the peel. Young people post dumb stuff all the time. At least it wasn't him in a gasmask or drag racing.  It also doesn't really say anything about him as a qb or leader.  He had a crap offensive line.  Also, several teams think he needs toe surgery. I'm glad we didn't take him, but i don't have any ill will toward him. Why would I or any of you?

Was Baker not the first overall pick and played his entire first season and broke the rookie TD passing record?

 

Baker only came in because the guy in front of him got hurt. Fields came in because Dalton had to miss a few starts.

Levis is a decent QB to take a dice roll on in the 2nd round if you have a starter for 2023 already lined up. Raiders make sense. Someone will move up in the 2nd and take a gamble on him. In the 1st round you want to take a guaranteed starter and Levis is definitely not that.

Must've mis-remembered.

Not Baker.

thats why i said 2 out of the 3...  Tyrod Taylor was a bridge until Baker was ready ... but an injury knocked Taylor out of the game with a concussion in week 3. John Dorsey specifically mentioned the plan was to get baker on the field at some point in the season, prior to Taylor's injury.

His Senior tape was AWFUL.

I didn't have first round grades on Young or Levis, so him dropping out of the first round is no surprise. 

What?!?!  

[Bear Hands]

Oh yeah they did the Tyrod thing for the first few weeks

Levis will be a good get on day 2.  He will need to sit a year.

First pro start at Darnold's current age? Yikes.

They were actually talking about the age thing of QBs on multiple different streams I was watching last night... they made some good points. Teams dont care about QB age anymore because of the way the position is protected now. With QBs playing into their late 30s and hitting  their prime in their late 20s... they are not hesitant to go after someone 23/24/25 in the draft. 

Hooker was the subject when they were discussing this.

I think Levis will mimic Carr in a way, tough fall but it will work out.

Levis apparently have a toe injury and he might miss the entire year

I read from someone somewhere that Levis bombed interviews and was extremely arrogant. I chalked up to nothing because its hard to know whats true about that stuff. Looks like that might have been true.

And then the chargers tried to do the same thing with Justin Herbert

I'll never forget Tyrod one rather nice year in Buffalo.  He took me to a fantasy final in my big money 14-teamer.  What a journey of a career he's had.
