Ive always been a big Levis fan, that being said now that he is with Tennessee hope he stinks the joint up.

No way in hell would I have ever drafted Levis over Richardson. Everyone will finally get to see why.

More starting experience with better results playing vs the same SEC Competition.    Completion % 10 higher for Levis /  TD % to int % higher for Levis   Levis should be more NFL ready

He had a great game for certain.  I'll say it.  He had a better game than any of AR games.  

I doubt anyone would disagree with you. I don't. He had 1 great game, great job by him. Stroud hasn't had a game yet like Levis has had either and he has played in 7 with a 3-4 record, so what is your point about Levis?

Levis is more accurate with his deep ball forcing Ds to play safeties deep eventually, otherwise they deal with Henry. He threw deep even off his back foot leading his wideouts. They stack the box, he has the accuracy to make them pay. If they get the OL shored up, Titans might make us pay if he develops well.

 

Having said that, SEC Ds figured him out and NFL Ds will too but he has NFL talent and coaching to offset this time. Great start I thought.

It would be great to be a QB in the league. All you have to do is win one game and your fan base will kneel before you like Zod kneel GIF

If he beats the Steelers on the road on a short week, I’ll take him more seriously.

 

Yes, let’s not overreact to 1 week of play

This is what I thought Levis could do for us...big arm,mobile athlete and works as hard as anyone in the room.....never cared that he put Mayo in his coffee or came across as a bit overconfident...hoping this is an anomaly being where he now is ,afraid it isnt. 

Agree, I think he could have been this good for us (we have a better roster on O than the Titans do, in my opinion) and our long term answer at QB.  I wanted him before the draft and still wish we had taken him (i've made no secrets about that lol).  The "over confident" part never bothered me...all of the best QBs in the NFL that I can remember, had that about them in one way or another. I think had Andrew Luck been a bit more "over confident" he would have been an even better player... being humble is nice in your everyday life, but if you're going to be an NFL franchise QB, you better be really damn confident and unafraid to show it.

Yeah the Colts section, AR vs Stroud vs Young.

 

You should write that you requested it. Otherwise that fan will say I am trolling. (I forgot all about that. Had I remembered what he had written, I would not have changed the title. :facepalm:)

The more he plays, the more tape he provides for defenses. It won't get easier. That said, Hopkins and Henry provide Levis a good supporting cast to be successful. 

If TEN still had AJ Brown I think their O would be an issue.  Their D is still pretty good.

And is 12/17 for 153 yards at half time. For everyone on here that seemed to hate the guy, I know I still wish we had drafted him.

I loved his release and it was on full display that half.  The Titans line is in shambles and he’s getting it done.

It will have brought me back memories of Peyton the pocket passer for sure. He’s definitely not fazed by the Steelers D or crowd.

And he is mobile and athletic when he would need to scramble... he just wouldn’t do it often enough to be an injury risk, in an ideal world

Like with Brady and Peyton, we now have a Levis vs Richardson problem on this Colts forum because both were in striking distance for the Colts in the draft.

 

After a while, folks realized they didn't need to put down Brady to prop up Peyton. Each one is HOF on their own merits. Similarly, I don't necessarily feel the need to put down Levis to prop up AR because each one is capable of winning games their own way, which is what their teams are trying to do.

 

Let us just be football fans first, it makes everything a whole lot easier.

For his first 2 games, I think he has looked like a steal in the draft.  

He looks good on a bad team... i feel we have a much better TEAM than the Titans...and think he would have been the perfect fit for us... Nothing against AR, i just think Levis is and will be better in the NFL.

You might be the first person in here that have said, we are better than the Titans. Interesting. I remember going into that game, many thought the Titans had a better all-around team, and AR was even the starter.

Our RB is better, our TEs are better, our O-line is better...and I'd take Pittman, Downs and Pierce over an aging Hopkins and their other WRs.

Stewart and Buckner are very good DTs...Franklin is leading the NFL in tackles...I like our kicker and coaches...so, yes, I think we are better...and still wish Levis was our QB...but I wanted him all the way leading up to the draft.

      A few roster moves

      By John Waylon · Posted

      Here’s a fun exercise! Let’s go over a list of players who have signed, or re-signed here after actually hitting free agency (if top free agents don’t want to come here then surely they don’t stay after hitting FA, right?) and where they have ranked in those free agency classes from credible media outlets!    2012 (Per CBS Sports top 100) Reggie Wayne (Re-signed) -22 Cory Redding - 39 Samson Satele - 68 2013 (Per NFL[dot]com top 85) Gosder Cherilus - 46 LaRon Landry - 57 2014 (Per NFL[dot]com top 101) Hakeem Nicks - 22 Art Jones - 32 D’Qwell Jackson - 49 2015 (Per NFL[dot]com top 101) Andre Johnson - 20 Frank Gore - 29 Trent Cole - 31 Kendall Langford - 64   2016 (Per NFL[dot]com top 99) Patrick Robinson - 79   2017 (Per NFL[dot]com top 101) Jonathan Hankins - 11 Jabaal Sheard - 29 Jack Doyle (Re-signed) - 61 John Simon - 64 Darius Butler (Re-signed) - 100 Margus Hunt - 101   2018 (Per anyone and everyone) None   2019 (Per NFL[dot]com top 101) Justin Houston - 8 Devin Funchess - 45 Pierre Desir (Re-signed) - 46 Clayton Geathers (Re-signed) - 63 2020 (Per NFL[dot]com top 101) Philip Rivers - 11 Anthony Costanzo (Re-signed) - 12 2021 (Per NFL[dot]com top 101) TY Hilton (Re-signed) - 33 Eric Fisher - 42 Xavier Rhodes - 53 Marlon Mack (Re-signed) - 79 Al-Quadin Muhammad (Re-signed) - 99 2022 (Per NFL[dot]com top 101) Stephon Gilmore - 12 2023 (Per NFL[dot]com top 101) Samson Ebukam - 58 Gardner Minshew - 95   2024 (Per NFL[dot]com top 101) Julian Blackmon (Re-signed) - 35 Kenny Moore (Re-signed) - 38 Grover Stewart (Re-signed) - 40   Regardless of how any of these signings actually worked out, it’s time to give the argument that top free agents won’t come here the old yeller treatment and bury it. It’s nonsense.

      Is Shane Calling Plays to Win Games or to Groom AR?

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Huh?   Are you under the impression that a head coach — any head coach — approaches all 17 regular season games like a playoff game?   They don’t.      So I don’t care what Wash is doing with Daniels, they’re not the same player.  Daniels is far more experienced than AR, so how Wash uses JD is going to be different than how Steichen uses AR.     So my point is that Steichen can try to do both….   groom Richardson AND win games.  It doesn’t have to be one or the other.  It can be both.  Sorry we see this differently.

      Because we have a GM who won’t really attempt to do business.    Ryan Grigson didn’t have a problem landing free agents.   Andre Johnson was a superstar when he came here. We didn’t know he was washed up until after he got here and he got out on the field.    Does the name “Frank Gore” ring a bell? At all? He’s only a hall of fame player, so maybe you’ve never heard of him.   Corey Redding signed here late in his career, and he helped get Pagano’s 3-4 off the ground.    Mike Adams came here and promptly made a pair of pro-bowls.    Gosder Cherilus was considered one of the best right tackles in the league when he signed here, despite how it turned out.    Ahmad Bradshaw came here before injuries derailed his career for good.    LaRon Landry was a heavily sought after free agent, and chose to come here to make the bank to buy his juice.    Erik Walden came here and far exceeded the deal he was on.    Art Jones had a lot of interest around the league when he signed here before injuries and getting hooked up with LaRon Landry’s juice dealer got in the way.   D’qwell Jackson signed here after being one of the league’s leading tacklers for the Browns and made a pro bowl that same year.    Hakeem Nicks signed here after starting a winning Super Bowl for the Giants and having a 1K+ yards and 10+ TD season. He had multiple 1K yard seasons under his belt on arrival.    What about trades? Vontae Davis came here in a trade. Glaze over it with the benefit of hindsight all you want, but Trent Richardson was 1 year removed from being the 3rd overall pick, and had put up 1K yards rushing as a rookie when he landed in town.     Hell, even Ballard has been able to land some high quality free agents when he’s actually been willing to make a deal. Philip Rivers and Stephon Gilmore didn’t wind up here because the league told them they had to be here.    The facts that these free agents all signed here aren’t untrue simply because you either don’t remember them, or just flat out don’t know them. Luckily someone writes these signings down somewhere for the sake of posterity, so we can look back on those official records and prove that they did in fact happen, despite the claims to the contrary.
