I can see why teams may actually like Levis and he isn't as bad as pundits make him out to be. A lot of his flaws seem to be pre snap recognition and O LINE!!! My GOD his Oline and protection is terrible. Also some of the plays I question. Some of the route combinations caused unnecessary traffic.
Levis has all the tangibles (size, big arm) but his intangibles are LACKING. Decision making, pocket presence, and ability to read defenses are all questionable at best. He's a project.
People keep complaining about the oline, and while it didn’t look good, Levis straight up ran into or was oblivious to half of his sacks. He also looked rattled the whole game, not what you want to see when you have to face nfl lineman
No way they are saying THIS guy is in the conversation for #1 draft pick. He is a project simply because of the tangibles but saying he is the best QB in the draft is where I’m confused. I see second or THIRD round. The days of drafting a QB because he looks the part are over. Texans please don’t do it
he's a good athlete and his throws look really good, but he seems to really struggle with recognizing the pass rush pre snap and dealing with it post snap, more so than any other qb I've seen. That's a really big problem to have because the college pass rush has nothing on the league. With how saturated the qb market is, I think hes honestly a day 3 pick. But it'll be interesting to see how he develops.
Thank you! Look at the difference in Bryce's numbers after losing Jameson Williams and John Metchie. Look at how much better Jalen Hurts got after they traded for AJ Brown. I feel like this doesn't get factored into QB evaluations nearly enough.
levis definetly has accuracy issues but wow is Kentucky offense bad. I don't know its the rest of his team or the coaching and coordinators. but that's terrible no wonder his stats were so bad
All the Will Levis haters. A Richardson is the other side of this game. Levis won. Just saying. Y’all take A Rich early, I’ll hit up Levis at the 1.06.
Makes more sense why he went 33rd he’s not good enough. It’s like he doesn’t read film. Can see so many water routes. Must be agonizing for the receivers. Did he get the job through connections?
Man this was NOT a good game for Levis fans. 8:54 he bails on the pocket wayyyy too early when he had more time. Follows it up with a poor accuracy high throw to a receiver on the next play that’s miraculously caught off the tip. 10:58 he tries to force a ball into triple coverage with a man down the seams wide open for a touchdown. Those are only a couple mistakes in a game riddled with lots of happy feet pocket presence, panic decisions and missed reads. This game could be a prophecy towards his struggle in the league
I would say that carson wentz was slightly more accurate, was more mobile and had a bigger frame but yeah, really does remind you of Carson at NDSU. He's so trash
@@aardee175 Carson Wentz was an MVP candidate on a team that eventually won the Superbowl (yes I know, without him). Can't call him trash, Carson was well on his way to a good career before the injuries and adversity happened and he folded. Now? He absolutely sucks but don't act like that was always the case.
@@codybennett244 I would argue that Carson like Levis continuously showed how limited he was. They are both inconsistent decision-makers who rely on their WRs bailing them out on deep throws. They both struggle with consistency on short-intermediate throws. Neither one is athletic enough to rush their way to success. Both struggle with pocket presence and often fail to notice pressure even if it's coming from within their line of sight. Both like to flirt with danger by throwing right in the paths of DBs, thinking their arm strength will save them, in short-intermediate game. Finally, both can make some really good throws from time to time but will only get more exposed as they play in the NFL
Something to consider when you're evaluating Will Levis is that he isn't working with the same weapons as Bryce Young or CJ Stroud. In this game at least, it looks like his best playmaker is a true freshman wide receiver. He's far and away the best player on this offense which is why you see him forcing throws. He shouldn't be starting day-one, but don't be shocked if 5 years from now he's the best QB from this class.
The running back Chris Rodriguez is the best weapon on offense, followed by Barion Brown and then Levis. Also, Bryce's receiver's this year were significantly worse than Barion Brown and Dane Key. That said Levis was behind a bad Oline and in a bad scheme. He's not anything special but can be an above average QB in the league
@@user-hz4sd1zi9l Not with the Titans which is good for his career. I have a strong feeling that he will play this year though. The Titans have had a MAJOR issue with injuries these past few years.
I'll say it again. This was probably the toughest defense Levis faced and he was lucky he got a win. There's plenty to like about him, but watching this tape again, he misses a lot. People whining that he has no time. Do you think he's going to have more time in the NFL? Kentucky game planned for this defense. This defense game planned to stop the run. If Levis didn't have big TEs to catch those jump balls this likely would have turned out bad. And Florida simply didn't keep up offensively. Listen to the announcers. Pass too low, pass too late, didn't pick up the pressure, RB and QB not on the same page, couldn't see the wide open route. He throws off balance way too much. He seems to depend on his big arm instead of playing the game with his head.
We saw some good, and some ugly. Most of the ugly was in the 2nd half. On the TD that was just over 60 yards in the air and looked effortless. Unless this game was just an aberration, he doesn't seem to be able to create plays off platform, every off platform throw was inaccurate and he couldn't escape any of the pass rush.
@@nathanhensn8717 look at Young vs Cincinnati in the CFB last year when he faced current NFL starting DBs Sauce and Bryant and still was able to come away with a win
You can’t compare the two. One is behind that Alabama offensive line and the other is behind that Kentucky o Line which makes him one of the most sacked QB in the nation.
@@davidwillis8623 Yeah agreed! i watched the Texas, Tennessee, & Georgia game and Young was really unimpressive and looked horrible with pressure which he saw a lot of in those games.
If you put any of the top quarterbacks in college behind this o line and give them these weapons, and give them this OC the result would look the same if not worse.

I counted a significant amount of overthrows. Looks so panicked whenever pressure arises.
@@anthonymarra8979 maybe because their was a jailbreak on him game, I thought Levis did well under those circumstances.

I think we have different definitions of the word tangible
@@Sentient_Blob the thing is his nfl team will be better than his Kentucky team, this o line is pretty bad compared to like Ohio state

I see way too much Carson Wentz in this guy

His team is terrible, it’s extremely hard to evaluate someone who doesn’t even have time to make it to their 2nd read half the time.
Thank you! Look at the difference in Bryce's numbers after losing Jameson Williams and John Metchie. Look at how much better Jalen Hurts got after they traded for AJ Brown. I feel like this doesn't get factored into QB evaluations nearly enough.
this man was literally running for his life the whole game. I feel bad for him
Carson Wentz 2.0... I'm talking after the injuries.. Please don't draft him Colts.
So what we've learned from this is that freshman running backs can't block 😲
I’ve never been more sure a QB was gonna struggle in the NFL
That’s some of the worst o-line play I have ever seen.
his o-line hates him
also wtf was that play at 10:07 ? Their scheme sux.
This 100%. Kentucky's OC has plays that barley belong in highschool
levis definetly has accuracy issues but wow is Kentucky offense bad. I don't know its the rest of his team or the coaching and coordinators. but that's terrible no wonder his stats were so bad
This was bad. Wish he had some better protection so we could see what he really plays like
I just watched this and said the same thing lol
All the Will Levis haters. A Richardson is the other side of this game. Levis won.
Just saying. Y’all take A Rich early, I’ll hit up Levis at the 1.06.
He far and away a finished product but his line and WRs do him no favors. Will likely be better in the NFL

Offensive coordinator and oline stinks
Jumbo Taylor Heinicke vibes
Does Flarduh still play football?

Man some of the throws he forced
Into literal trouble coverage…
Nice deep ball to Key
Thought my shit was frozen for 8 seconds, at least put some sound to that intro bro damn
Man had 14 inaccurate passes, 1 impressive pass that wasn’t even completed, poor pocket awareness, is a 1 read QB lacks vision, I could go on.
Horrible breakdown.
Young is better
I think Stroud might be the best long term. Watch Youngs vs tape against Tennessee. That type of pressure is NFL pressure and he looked awful.

Keep dreamin... Jk
Fuck no
Please take him. I would hate for the Texans to make the stupid decision of drafting him
@@tonymedina922 my brother, you need to wish that on the Colts instead
@@AceMiggy Either or… How much worse could he be than Matt Ryan 🤔
Anyone wanting to draft Levis, show them this game. They should figure out why not to draft him.
If you put any of the top quarterbacks in college behind this o line and give them these weapons, and give them this OC the result would look the same if not worse.
The guy is getting massacred within 2 seconds on 50% of his snaps.

@@Brandon_Curtis exactly! Imagine cj stroud with this team. He would look very bad
