Actually I can. Off the top of my head, the 15 yard out to Williams that he over threw by 10 yards on third down. Other than the throw that you mentioned, he missed Pete 2 other times, WIDE ___ OPEN down the field. He missed Bam on a crossing route (and not the one that he was double covered later in the game) where he just flat over threw him. He had Williams again on a drag early in the third quarter, perfect pocket for like 6 seconds and as soon as someone breathed on him, he started running backwards. There are other times where I can give a minor critique, but some are hell bent on this guy being awesome.
Serious question: When people say things like "some won't be happy as long as he's QB", do you guys really mean that? Do you really believe that fans WANT to kill a player, and that makes them happy? Just from own personal experience watching games with others that played and coached at the D1 level, they mostly agree with the folks that see limitations. People aren't making this stuff up.

The truth of the matter is, he's as good as we have right now. Take from that what you will.

No question about it.

Levi's not great, but he's not nearly as bad as many people here would have you believe.
He also turnes it over 4 times in the Mississippi state game and App state game the pocket was clean it was when he rolled out is where he was pushed down

I do feel that sometimes people have a need to feel right about a particular person that feel a certain way about. If you don't agree, watch the next time someone gives Levi credit for something. It will be immediately me with " Yeah but ". I don't recall misses to Jackson or the throw over Williams head. I'll go back and look. He only attempted 21 passes and hit 13 of them. He had about 4-5 throwaways so he only missed a couple. Like I said, the only ball I remember him throwing Leblanc was the deep pass that the 20 mph wind ate up. If you want to be upset, maybe call out the coach for calling the play in those conditions or wait until the second quarter when the wind is with us.
Of course I think that everyone wants to win but the minute things don't go well on offense, he's going to get the criticism whether its warranted or not.

We already talked about the turnovers in that game. Two of them were not on him. Get over it man.

He had eight incompletions and four of them were throwaways. I don't think your math adds up here.

Lmao why are you trying to defend him so heavily most of us have eyes we see that he is a borderline Swac QB .. It's ok Hudspeth was terrible at identifying QB talent it's nothing on Napier he has dealt a crap hand at QB

I mentioned two incomplete passes in that comment.
Just because he throws the ball out of bounds doesn't mean it's always a "smart" play. And just because a pass is not complete doesn't mean the correct play was made. If we can't stretch the field, we will not beat better teams. He missed Peter and Jalen (and I think Bradley two, but I can't remember for sure) multiple times.
