I said watch mason narcissus and Michael Jefferson. Both had good games.

No, you don't. I know what you're saying but as I said, its the wrong take. You can say we made a few plays down the stretch when we had to and for some reason you continue to use the score in the fourth quarter but that same defense allowed two late touchdowns when we needed one stop. Point being, you said the defense was solid. It wasn't. We are absolutely lucky the QB gifted us an int that we returned for a TD because that's what it was, a gift. He literally got flustered and threw it to Moncrief. I think he actually thought Moncrief was one of his players initially but the point was, both sides of the ball were anything but solid.

So the defensive linemen who were about to crush him, again had nothing to do with him throwing the bad pass to Moncrief.

The defense made a goal line stand on the one yard line. How did the offense reward them? They made one first down then couldn’t convert a fourth and one on our own 30 yard line!

Just like the Texas game, if the offense would have sustained a long drive the defense wouldn’t have been so tired the last five minutes of the game. Levi fumbled, again putting the defense in a position to save the game.

The open receivers were a problem, the tackling needs improvement, third down conversions were frustrating and clearly a running QB gives us fits. But, the defense is not what concerned me about this game, the offense is what was terrible.

If the game ended at 5 minutes left and we won 27-10, I think we would all still be ____ed we didn’t win by more. As I’ve stated earlier, our Oline should have ground Nichols into the dust in the second half. That unit failed miserably.

I’m not even saying Levi was bad, he was who he is. Could be better but could be worse. Our Oline was supposed to be great and they were anything but.

LL is very inconsistent. Sometimes a good short pass, sometimes not, sometimes a good run, then not, then a good medium pass, then not. What else is there to say. He is inconsistent, has some ability sure, but what we need is a more consistent performance from the QB position. You just can't rely on "sometimes". You can rack your brains out trying to analyze LL. He is the same as he has been for years. This team deserves a high level of performance from the QB position, many teams get it. It's all in Napier's hands.

As long as Lewis is the signal caller we can only cross our fingers and hope for the best.

We all know that after 5 years he is incapable of becoming better. It's not in his DNA and like someone else said, he is who he is.

So Levi isn’t better that he was 5 years ago?

[JMV JustMyView]

He didn't say that. He said after 5 years he is incapable of becoming better. In other words he has peaked. What you see if what you get and don't expect anything different.

[HOUCajun]

He said it wasn’t in Levi’s dna to get better

Marginally.. I expected with 4 years under his belt he would be alot better. Same issues . Like I said , he is what he is. He either don't see running lanes or he refuses to do it. Under pressure he wilts. Is what he is.

Remember Gauthier? He looked bad at first then learned and improved. That's what legit QB s do.

Agree on Blanes improvement. He really ramped up his game. I think everyone wishes Levi ran more and played better the last 2 games. I just think statements like yours that say it’s not in Levi’s dna to improve are weak and unproductive.

Levi needs to play better for us to win out. I think and hope he can. To this point, it appears Napier agrees.

Not trying to argue. I apologize if I came off like that. Perhaps better terms would have been better. I was simply trying to do what everyone else thinks. Rationalize improvement over 5 years .. ��
