Brinker is higher in the chain of command. In addition, his direct statement is the most recent from anyone in the organization about Levis future here. Callahan also hasn't directly said that Levis won't be here, recently or ever. My post isn't a defense of Levis. It's a defense of Brinker's statement.

With a single QB on the roster what do you expect Brinker to say it is a vastly different story when they add a veteran QB in March. rns90, and TeamRamrod 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had this discussion before. Brinker could have been vague or deflected the question. Instead he was directly explicit. For the time being, take the guy at his word and stop trying to spin it to suit yourself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TF_Titan Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 The whole "Bring in a veteran to mentor the young QB" is way overblown. I'm not saying a veteran QB can't be a positive, but if the Titans sign one it will be because they think he can help them win games. Not so he can babysit the young QB.

So you think Brinker is going to come out and voice that they are done with Levis and kill off any small remaining trade value Levis has left that is simply not what teams do. Levis is nothing more than a placeholder that the head coach is clearly done with and will be shipped out of here when they have had a chance to replace him.

You think Daniels has the same season he does without Mariota being in the same room as him sometimes?

Levis is nothing more than a placeholder that the head coach is clearly done with and will be shipped out of here when they have had a chance to replace him. I've answered that first question upthread and multiple times. Brinker could have been vague or deflected. Instead Brinker was explicit and direct........Levis will compete for the starting spot. It remains to be seen whether Levis is done here this year or is the #2 guy, jmo there. Or they could change their mind and ship him out earlier. But as of today, if you take Brinker at his word, the plan is for Levis to be here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nash Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Blaine Bishop intimated that discussions concerning a trade were out there.. he spoke about how Levis was drafted to be a downfield threat to complement Henry in a run first offense.. how he might fit as a backup for several teams, and that he expected him to be traded.. I posted in another thread that the three teams most likely to look upon him as a backup were Tampa Bay, Arizona, and the Chargers, based on their run first philosophy..

rns90 Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 lol does anyone think that they will leave Levis as the 3rd qb. Because he’s not backup qb material. And they will have another starting level guy (maybe 2 in there). Of course Brinker is going to be complimentary if he wants to get any value at all for him.

While someone is on the team, they talked about as if they will stay on the team. There are a few exceptions.
