Levis named the starter moving forward

They called us retards for thinking a rookie could do better, even though all we were saying is "we don't know for sure" and "he gives us the best chance to either win or win next year with better picks"

 

Idk how many times I typed "we don't know what we have in Levis"

I’d give them a pass if that’s all they said. They spent all summer ridiculing anyone who wanted to draft a qb or mention trading Tannehill and then acted like all the Stroud smoke was BS because the Texans didn’t budge and took him. Then they had the gaul to do a victory lap when stroud was selected not knowing we’d give up serious capital to get Levis. Then they wrote him off after 14 throws in the preseason lol.

lol you and your master wrote off Levis after one half a preseason game. We have receipts. 

You mean the same things that happened in the Steeler game?  The same things he showed in college?  There are real concerns with his play that most people are ignoring.

 

Now he deserves time to improve in these areas but he's far from a sure thing to be a franchise QB.

I swear every post I see of Buds has the words "conflicted play calling".

 

It's like he learned something new and he has to regurgitate it in every argument.

I don't buy the Titans are giving up on the season by going to levis. I think he flashed enough while Tannehill regressed enough for them to realize going with the rookie isn't a net loss.

[SleepingTitan]

I honestly wouldn't doubt if they talked to Tannehill about the decision. RT has been pretty tight with Levis on the sidelines. They might even be going to church together by now. 

 

To me, that's great. It would be awesome to retain Tannehill on a good backup QB salary to walk this thing through. Ideal in fact. Titans can definitely afford it.

..... you mean they realized Tannehill didn't give the team the best chance to win.

You are retards.  Always have been.  Always will be.

 

As for doing "better", so far the home game matched the two others in terms of offense and on the road it matched the road offense.....Levis playing today doesn't give them a better chance to win today.  This is a 2024 move.

That "conflicted downs" nonsense has seemingly overtaken the board with half of Bud's followers using it on a regular basis.  I've followed the NFL since I was like 10 years old and I've never heard the term.  Not only that I googled it and nothing came up.  It seems to be unique here, only used by the anti-Vrabel, pro-Tannehill crowd (which is ridiculous that we even have to group people, but that's a whole other topic).  It's an attempt to sound smart.

I think the gap is smaller than they envisioned but I think what they said today is that they are willing to live with his growing pains without the worry of him looking over his shoulder getting yanked.

 

It's a very passive way of saying winning isn't the top priority.  Developing Levis is.

Will Levis is Vincent.  Mike Vrabel is Paul Newman.  Can the Coach turn the Rookie into something big?  We're gonna find out soon enough...

I wonder if Tannehill will go to IR and stop showing up at games

Count me all the way in on Levis

Me too and honestly, it's the way everyone should be. With that I don't mean that one should be convinced he's going to be a super star franchise QB but rather that we should all be 100% invested in his success because it's the best thing for our franchise. I don't know if he's going to be the answer for us but I'm definitely all in.

Some Titans/Levis discussion from Mays/Russini here for those interested.

Its a shanny thing... goes back to running the same personnel groupings out of the same formations and being able to run or pass out of the look. If you don't know thats a staple of offenses for decades then you aren't paying attention. but I googled it!
