That’s definitely true, but he does look terrified, and his bodyguards are knocking people out of his way as if everyone is coming for him when they are just celebrating and ignoring him.

Oh, he's a scared little b***ch too.

Let's talk about the VFLs on the Steelers roster.

<crickets>

My Steelers love is separate from my Tennessee love…. I feel the same way about this that I do about having former Vols on the Tennessee coaching staff…. I only want them if they are great pro players or great football coaches…. As soon as 2020…. Steelers led the league with 4 former Vols…. That should make you happy.

 

[SweetasSoda]

It's different for men. They develop a complex over it. "Little Man" syndrome is real.

That’s true lol.

 

[SweetasSoda]

That's only one of the many many reasons that people don't like me. Don't sell me short Oda!

You know everyone loves you.

Softball at the collegiate level amazes me. I have no clue how those girls make those crazy pitches.

I dont remember the girls in high school pitching like that. . . then again, they practiced and played their games at the middle school, so I'm not sure I ever saw them. . .

From Reddit:

I saw DraftKings posted tons of lines of games this coming year, so I plugged the lines into my model (just margin of victory + strength of schedule + home field) and got Vegas’ preseason ratings.
The lines will definitely move by the start of the season so don’t take these power ratings too seriously.

1. Georgia 100
2. Ohio State 96.47
3. Alabama 96.33
4. Michigan 95.29
5. LSU 91.34

I disagree. Look, this isn't even about Hooker being a Vol and Levis being a Wildcat, but I'm of the honest opinion that if you watch their game tapes, Hooker is a better QB. JMO, but I thought Hooker was easily the third best QB in the draft. Maybe things shake out differently over time, but no way in hell do I put Richardson or Levis over Hooker. No matter how it's spun, I see Will Levis at that point, trading up for him, as a bad pick. Especially when they have so many other glaring needs.

Sorry....I do not mean to say that I'd take Levis over Hooker. I'm just saying in the 2nd RD isn't AS terrible like #11 would have been.

Lions got a steal

 

[peaygolf]

In fairness he’s not high on any QB. Just wants to play football in the 1950’s and run the ball every down until the opposing team dies of boredom

Maybe. But he did play with the best ever.

 

[Dudleys87]

gf not invited? or had a headache? or mom saw her tik tok video singing a vulgar song in her red draft-night dress on insty and vetoed? inquiring minds want to know (not really)

chances are pretty high that she dropped his ass after he told her he’d be a T5 pick, and get a lot of money.

 

[Jackcrevol]

I don't not understand.

formal logic

 

[Orange_Crush]

Devo said he did this to point out Tennessee fans should not use how a player did against them as a reason why or why not to choose a player.

No one was using how he did against us. They were using how he did against everyone.

 

[Weezer]

Sorry....I did not mean to say that I'd take Levis over Hooker. I'm just saying in the 2nd RD isn't terrible like #11 would have been.

Again, I disagree. I think it was a terrible pick. Doesn't matter who made it. It could have been the Patriots, who I absolutely detest, and I'd still feel it was a horrible pick. Taking him at #11 would have been worse but taking him at all is still terrible.

 

[Weezer]

Maybe. But he did play with the best ever.

I said this earlier, but to restate, trolling is against board rules.

I'm not that.......

And, which I have stated before, I did not like the Levis pick or the 3rd round pick.

Well I don't recall Vrabel playing with Peyton Manning or Joe Montana.....

 

[Vol423]

Rumor. Just a Rumor.........CMV wasn't real high on Levis.

He didn't look happy to me on the video of their call to Levis.

 

[peaygolf]

Well I don't recall Vrabel playing with Peyton Manning or Joe Montana.....

Ha! Well played.

Titans coach saying go Vols after drafting levis is a kick in the face to all you faithful vol fans that follow the titans

If there really is a perception that Titans fans hate the Levis pick simply because he played for a Vols rival, that is some seriously flawed logic. Titans fans would have been very happy to get Bama's QB Bryce Young and we hate Bama.

 

[Weezer]

Levis is a bad QB. We've been saying that for months, long before his name was getting attached to the Titans. FTR, I think the Colts were idiots for drafting Anthony Richardson. Great athlete, but not a great QB.

My interest in this draft was geared toward 2 things: 1) Seeing where our Vol players were drafted, and 2) Seeing which 2 teams would be dumb enough to draft Richardson and Levis.

Honestly, Hooker is better off having been drafted by the Lions. That organization appears to be moving in the right direction. The Titans are floundering.

 

[Orange.]

Nah, he's just a sore loser.

In the A&M event, Saban and his police escort plowed over a coed. It was pretty bad. The next student they came upon was male and they swerved around him. There's video.

That explains so much.

For a lot of positions, the NFL relies on the measurables. They want the prototypical DE, OT, DT, WR. For QB, though they seem to skip the mental part of the game. Richardson is a freak athlete and may with the right coaching be great, but so far he has been questionable in his preparation and ability to read D. Levis is the prototypical QB, has all the measurables, but he really seems more like Leaf than Manning.

Hooker did the work in the offseason to get to where he is and I think that is how the great QBs in the NFL all started. I think Hooker will be a better pro, but Levis and Richardson are seen as better pro prospects even though there is a ton of tape telling people no.
