Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[Jackcrevol]

People responding with hilarious Tweets. Especially this one…

throwing a ball 50 yards is impressive.

not hitting broad side of a barn, during the game...

priceless.

I'll be glad when the NFL draft is over. Tired of all the meaningless clickbaiting and promotional controversy-stiring. Just do the thing.

I care that our guys go high. But nothing that has been said for weeks takes me one inch closer to knowing the future. Worse and much longer than two-weeks of Super Bowl stories on Good Morning America imo. (Pardon my grumpiness, I suppose )

Edit: On the other hand, it is football. Tough time of year.

And I will be pumped to celebrate our guys! That is certain. It's really going to help us.

I don’t like Levis as a prospect either but college stats are not the most important thing when evaluating a prospect…. Stats are based more on the team and system the qb plays in.

And you can not completely ignore how a player plays in that system especially a QB. A QB should make the players around him better. You can question did he get the ball to players who then dropped them for instance. Or did he make good decisions with the ball? Did he perform well under pressure? These are things that need to be asked especially for a top 5 pick.

I am surprised the money grabbers don’t make it PPV

Yeah true, and in shorts he looks like a NFL QB.

What people should do right now is capture all the positive things being said about him. Because next year when Joe Milton is in the draft I wonder if the same talking heads will be as kind or if they'll be dismissive of his god given talents.

If Levis is #2 then JM should be #1 no matter how he performs.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

It’s exactly like Jake Locker hype all over again. Thats who Will Levis is.

I think he performed well, when the sky was blue and sunshining.

When he had orange in his grill, not so much.

Death, Taxes, and bad NFL franchises drafting guys who couldn’t perform in college but dominated the Underwear Olympics.

That’s true but that is nothing any of us would know…. We are not scouting any of the QBs actual performances.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

The thing that's frustrating is that typically a good NFL QB was a good QB in college, good being determined by their individual stats and/or by them helping their team win games. You rarely see good NFL QBs that were bad in college.

The problem is that not all good college QBs become good NFL QBs. (Ryan Leaf, Jake Locker, Tim Tebow, Vince Young, Matt Leinart, RG3...etc. etc.) so it's going to be interesting to see how Will Levis fairs in the NFL.

Sooo I’ve never lived in a neighborhood. We just moved in over the weekend and my neighbors (who apparently are super rich) just gave a carton of eggs! What do normal people give back as gifts or do you?

I talked to Sally about it. . .

 

[Orangeburst]

Hilarious

 

[SweetasSoda]

used the spring game to get more tape out there lol



dont blame him for not wanting to be apart of the most overhyped 3-4 win team of all time. Hes already lived through Midnight Mel Tucker's tenure and 2 yrs of Karl Dorrell

Funny how the comments reflect what people already thought of CDS.

I wonder if Sally has Liability Insurance

 

[SweetasSoda]

That’s true but that is nothing any of us would know…. We are not scouting any of the QBs actual performances.

So we don’t have the ability to watch a guy play football and see if he is performing well or not? Sorry but sometimes it is so glaringly obvious that even I can tell.

The at the end??? That’s even more strange than the rest of it.

They must have it tuned for each region. Maybe not. . . but do they say "get in trouble with the law" everywhere English is spoken or is that more a southern thing? The . . . seems understandable if it thinks I'm in the southern Bible belt. . .

This must mean that Sally is a redneck!

I started to reply with a "yeah but how does this same comparison work for bad (non-winners) college QBs that DO became great Pro QBs? (not that I think Levis is any good... cause I don't, just more about how past performance does not always blah blah blah). So I compared Levis to Patrick Mahomes. How good was Mahomes in college? Was he a "good" QB?

Mahomes lost a lot at Texas Tech (13-15 overall as starter), but he put up gaudy numbers both in the air and on the ground in a high octane offense. (Average two full starting years: 4852 yds; 38 TD; 12.5 INT; +11 RTD)

Levis won a lot at UK (17-7) (Historically for UK is impressive), but since he played RealFootball(tm), His stats were not very good 2616 yds 21.5 TD 11.5 INT +5.5 RTD.

What's my point? Who the hell knows. Just bored at work and thought I would spend some time looking up sports stats. (and I'll be pissed if the Titans draft Levis.)

Anyone ever use an lg V60? They don't make LG phones anymore (it just got updated to android 13), but seems like a good deal for $150, compared to what kind of new phone you get for $150. . .
