2019 Levi Lewis

[CrappDaddy]

This Levi discussion has become stupid because people make it stupid. And these extreme terms that people use to describe his him conflate the problem.

He's a good QB, in a great system that usually highlights his strengths, on one of the best football teams we've ever had. In certain situations, he is limited. When the plan doesn't work, the limitations are more obvious than the times when the plan does work. He has definitely played a role in this year's success.

The kid is coming off of his best game as D1 QB. As I said on the podcast, I think his ceiling is still high. I know Billy & Co will get the best out of him. How good that can be is yet to be seen.

I would argue that we’ve seen how good he’s can be on multiple occasions this season. He not going to be Joe Burrow, but when given time to throw he’s shown the ability to execute the offense and when time isn’t there he minimizes the damage better than any QB I’ve seen here.

for as much as levi is debated, what is the deal with bridgewater having a better record and lower salary than brees?

What?

qb debate for one team but not the other. seems one could argue it could be reversed? is 5-0 not better than 2-2? if we started one guy that was 2-2 and we had another guy that was 5-0 and benched him, seems all hell would break loose

Get you a paper bag.

I think you’re overselling what the naysayers are saying. We’ve had teams where the quarterback is what the other teams have to contain. Babb, Mitchell, Delhomme, Desormeaux, Henry are some of the best. Not many. Then there was a healthy Broadway, and again we’re a quarterback led team. I think it’s fair to say Levi isn’t that player. He’s doing a good job of playing to his strengths. Still if I’m the defense I’m saying prove you can beat me, I’m containing the run, containing the jet sweeps. I’ll go one on one deep.

Tell me what team does nothing but deep passes when they line up 8 in the box. I am so tired of hearing can’t use the deep pass. Well not many teams can pass deep successfully. It is so overrated. Give me a good short to intermediate passing game with our running offense any time. That is the offense we have run all season and we are currently 11th in scoring in the nation. There are some of you that would complain about ribeyes because you aren’t eating filet mignon.

First off, Babb does not belong in this list.

Second, two of the remaining four, Mitchell and Desormeaux, defenses literally said 'make him beat us with the pass' every week. Doesn't keep either off the list of UL all time greats and it shouldn't for Levi either.

Levi does NOT belong on that list, as of now. If he leads this team to a 10 win season AND comes back and has another outstanding year, then he belongs in the conversation.

To be clear, ribeye is better than filet mignon.

I can't write off Levi's record breaking performance to the level of competition.

Every quarterback who has ever played at UL has faced pass defenses worse than Coastals' ...

UL has had coaches with a more conservative passing game...

And no one had ever done what Levi Lewis did last Thursday.

I was saying this exact thing on my podcast last week!
