Levis named the starter moving forward

We're still in the period of time where the Tannehill doubters are exacting their pound of flesh. When that passes and if Levis plays well enough some of that might fizzle out. 

TBF anybody who speculates on a board about NFL shit is gonna likely be more wrong than right. If not, they'd be paying us to type this stuff. But when you hit, you celebrate.

I literally put the word oversimplification in parenthesis after anti-Tannehill. Was this post really necessary? You didn't say anything that hasn't been discussed a million times over. 

 

It doesn't matter what you did. You still said it.

 

Yes it was necessary. 

 

It could've been "people who didn't think Tannehill wasn't good enough" or "people who didn't think Tannehill was ever elite" or "people who think Tannehill was average"

 

You chose "anti-Tannehill" as the oversimplification when it's not an accurate oversimplification.

I'm excited about drops now. Because before, the frequency wasn't there. So one drop could kill a drive and a few could kill a half. Levis has had some really terrible drops, which should improve as the receivers get accustomed to getting the ball more.

 

Another symptom of low frequency passing is lack of separation. How fucking hard do you try on every play if you rarely see it? Now we have a QB who has the moxie to audible and throw it right back to that guy who dropped it to gain their trust.

No worries because we saw it in the 2nd half last week......and are likely to see it some more as long as Vrabel is here.

yeah but it wasn't a factor in why the Titans lost that game

the issue is people just look at the run/pass attempts on first down and if they are skewed towards run then they start calling for Vrabels head.

doesn't seem like many posters actually look for any context beyond that.

Dear Fellow Bottom Fivers,

 

I think the weeds are growing on the plot now. TanneStans have been buried for two weeks. It's time to heal and make amends.

again... only if you tie everything to Tannehill and not football X's and O's in general. There really is no need for this nonsense.

It's embarrassing.  While I'm glad he rarely posts anymore, he should post less.

I’m just glad that our highly drafted QB prospect will finally get consistent, meaningful reps in practice.  If there’s room for optimism beyond showing out vs the Falcons and the poise against the Steelers,  it’s that Levis has shown those traits while only getting quality practice reps with starters for about two weeks.  
 

The flashes he’s shown are in spite of being months and months behind other rookie QBs practice-wise.

At this point it's too bad they didn't get the extra year for drafting him in the first but maybe that extra year early will be helpful because he'll only be 72 instead of 73 when he's due for a second contract.

You're not fucking X's and O's experts. Definitely not levitating over anyone else in this forum. That's what's this is about.

 

So if you can at least open your brains to that after an offseason of due diligence and contract extensions you would have finally learned something.

 

But I doubt it. You two morons will still stick your chest out telling people how they  "don't know football" while knowing less.

Yes it was.  They did it the entire 2nd half (7 runs/2 passes) up until the last drive with 1:44 left after being relatively balanced in the 1st half.  In that sequence, they dropped from 5.9 yards/play and 13 points (should have been 17) to 3.9 Yards/Play and 3 points.  They were 1-5 on 3rd down and 0-1 on 4th down in that span.  The 1 3rd down conversion was on a defensive penalty.....

I'm not ready to go far, but I've thought about that. Seems like you know by year 3, and the holdout is incoming.

Holy shit lets hope Levis continues to grow. It sucks constantly missing on QBs.

[rns90]

What are these guys not getting?  I don’t get this.  Stuffed run on 1st down leads to more obvious pass situations which is not good for a team whose LTs stink at pass pro.

 

This doesn’t even have anything to do with whomever the qb is.

 

its basic shit

flat out wrong.... Its a major issue for any offense not just the Titans. when you become predictable on 1st down, the easiest down to throw on due to defenses being in base more often than not, you get behind the chains which exposes poor OL play. You and others keep attributing this and other arguments to stances on Tannehill, Vrabel, Mariota, Henry, etc... and its misplaced/misinformed.
