    He does. But he still has rookie mistakes.
    Not a knock on him.
    Levis did scan multiple times, but he also made stupid decisions and locked in presnap.

    If he fixes that he’s going to be a problem. It’s ok to admit that, specially with how good CJ has shown he is

    He locks in presnap but he also made multiple reads yesterday. Hopefully he doesn’t learn to make reads or adjust presnap. If he does, or it AR does, they’re going to be a problem.

    I will admit, I thought Will would be a flop, but he has definite upside potential..................small sample size but he "could" be a good one. I will say this though, dude is tough

    I don’t understand why this is so hard to admit.

    Admittedly I didn't watch any highlights of him out of college. I never thought the Texans would take him and yesterday was my first time seeing him as I was at the game. I thought he had a lively arm, he is definitely athletic, he's a rookie and plays as such, locking on to receivers throwing up jump balls and his pocket presence is suspect but after seeing Bryce Young in person I believe Levis has more upside than him.

    Bryce never did anything that made me think, "Yeah get him some weapons and this and watch out." After watching Levis make some really difficult throws and get out on some runs, I was kinda lack, "damn we may have another qb to worry about in the AFC south."

    But what the hell do I know?! I'm not an analyst.

    He is physically talented sure. I just don't see the processing required to be elite. There are some good 1 read guys out there in the right offenses. He isn't a floor raiser though. He needs Eagles, 49'ers supporting cast to hide his flaws.

    Still way too early to say that.
    Just like it’s way too early to put any of the rookies in a box or tier

    That was the worst QB we have faced all year and it wasn't even close.

    Hyperbole doesn’t get you anywhere. It was the worst Oline. There were literally multiple plays where he scanned multiple reads, that proves you wrong.
    And if you didn’t see special plays then you’re just showing your bias.

    I'd rather face Levis than Tannehill. Hoping Levis is ok.

    Words that came to mind watching him was chaotic and erratic. Reminds me a little of Josh Allen when we played them in the Playoffs several years ago. Wouldn't surprise me if he gets hurt because of his play style and seemingly high ego of himself.

    I told my friend the exact same thing today. He is a Titan's fan and believe they have a future QB. I hope all Titan fans and their organization continue to think that.

    I think he is avg at best, a little erractic at times. He needs weapons around him to make him better. CJ makes others around him better, thats the difference.

    Time will ultimately tell but from what I see, I'm glad we drafted CJ

    Levis is a rookie with 8 starts under his belt. He's been sacked 27 times, but the team is 3-5 under his wing. He's not close to Stroud, who's head and shoulders the best rookie QB and on the path to being one of the best in the league for hopefully a long time.

    He's fighting for the #2 rookie QB spot with Tommy Devito an UFA. I still love his arm and toughness, but so glad we drafted CJ who is a natural QB/gifted passer.

    Levis has tons of work to do and the Titans aren't a great team, but if Richardson can stay healthy our division is going to be fun to watch as these young guys develop.

    Texans fans have been spoiled this year with CJ Stroud. Stroud has never looked like a rookie QB. Levis looks great from the neck down, but will he ever have it from the neck up? Time will tell.

    I think Titans fans should be encouraged. Levis has a chance of someday becoming what Stroud already is, a good NFL QB.
