Levi doubters...

[zephyr]

That’s fair.

Regardless of if you think LL is great or terrible, I think we can all pretty much agree that the passing game has got to improve in order to be a complete team.

It needs to improve but I also don't think its as bad as you are suggesting and certainly not as bad as Lannister is saying it is.

Are you watching the games?

[zephyr]

People will tell themselves what they want to believe.

The harsh truth is, we are limited at the QB position, specific to a vertical passing attack and taking care of the football. Y’all can point to scores and stats all you want. The play on the field speaks for itself.

Try not to be so result oriented and watch each play individually.

I do. I guess I'm just not as doomsday with what I see play by play.

[zephyr]

Bradley streaking down the field twice, Bell wide open wide open on 3rd down, Bradley wide open in the end zone..etc etc etc

This doesn't tell me a whole lot. I didn't see a whole lot of guys open out there, certainly not where he missed them with bad throws. There was the deep ball to Bradley that he overthrew early but Bradley was double teamed and you do miss those from time to time, especially if the DB's affect the receivers route running and timing.

[zephyr]

I found Javi did well for throwing 2 balls ..the swing pass was right in the WR hands and not 4 feet above or at the WR ankles .. he missed on the fade seemed it was miss communication between him and the WR & he was visibly upset about it.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. People will see what they want to see, no matter how few times they've seen it.

[ManAboutTown]

I do. I guess I'm just not as doomsday with what I see play by play.

“Doomsday” 🙄

Its intellectually dishonest to watch this team play and say we’re better than average at QB.

Between the two games played, we’ve left 30+ points on the field, turned the ball over 5-6 times and can’t hit the homerun ball when receivers are open by 10 yards. You can not win consistently, especially against teams like Ohio, App St and Troy with these issues.

[zephyr]

Those of you who continually bash Levi have to give him credit. How about eight plays, 84 yards and a touchdown pass in the two minute drill. That series was one of the best we've seen in a while. Levi was 4-4 in the drive, including the pass to the tight end for 19 on a third down play. He was clutch in that drive which was the most important of the game. That gave us the lead at halftime and we were able to play "make it, take it" with another touchdown after the second half kickoff.

He was big at the biggest point in the game.

I'm actually kind of surprised by some and how much they still bash him. I'm not a LL loyalist but it sounds that way because I continuously find myself defending him especially when its still unclear as to how much talent we truly have at the WR position. We are playing a number of freshmen and I never thought we'd need to do that and Bradley is our only proven commodity at this point.

I get that he's not going to be the best passer we've had here but I'm surprised as to how many people don't give him any credit for the positive plays and drives he does make.

Levi is your quarterback in 2019.

There will be competition for the position in 2020.

And, I think the competition comes from the two freshmen.

LL, I believe, will graduate before the 2020 season and leave/transfer.

[CajunVic]

LL, I believe, will graduate before the 2020 season and leave/transfer.

When he came here he said he was coming for an education and was going to complete that in three years.

Yup. That was Huds reason for pulling his redshirt.

The only position I've seen leaving that many points on the field is the kicker.

I don’t see much “bashing”. I see people asking legitimate questions, for the most part.

I assume, people give him little credit because of the system, and how Napier has proven to set players up for success. Nunez was a great example of taking someone with limited ability and getting the most out of them.

People expect a certain level of success with this coaching staff. Fair or not, that’s going to work against any QB.
