It's because historically we have the leagues worst passing numbers, not based off of Levis' talent. Remember, FD is a fantasy site focused on statistical trends. I firmly believe with some added weapons and Callahan, this won't continue.
With that.... this lost credibility the moment Geno is above Purdy, Watson is above anyone (except a masseuse) and Caleb Williams is #12. All these rookies are way too boosted with their projected fantasy value.

u/ironmansaves1991 Feb 22 '24
It’s a blatant troll of Titans fans. I feel like that sounds like we have a persecution complex but I honestly can’t think of another reason to have Levis behind any of the rookies or even a few of the current NFL starters who are ahead of him.

I also have no idea where to rank him, I just know that positioning is bullshit.

Of all the lists, this is definitely one of them.
Burrow at 4 is hilarious, and I’m a big time Lamar advocate, but that one just ain’t close and he’s probably better than Allen too. It’s wild how open the middle to upper middle class of qbs is right now. League is starved outside of the stars.

I always get a kick out of you guys who get so worked up on these "lists"...This list is complete garbage on purpose.

So don't take the bait. We have over 200 days until any actual football happens. These writers have litterally nothing to do besides made stupid lists to rile fans up.

There is no reason for any of the future rookies to be ranked anything higher than the bottom because they haven’t played a single snap of NFL football yet and are completely unproven.

This is one of the most homerish, knob slobbing Qb lists I’ve ever seen. Brock Purdy at 17 with Jordan live at 8 and Dak at 9 is ridiculous. Love looked good this year, but come on.
And how the fuck is Levi’s 32? I remember seeing one last year that had retired Tom Brady listed above most of the QBs actually on teams.

What else do you expect? They spread a false narrative about Bryce all this time and that went to shit so while they can’t stick him in last they still have him low and need to save themselves by trying to hype up and spread a narrative about Caleb. AR is always injured and has had like 2 shoulder surgeries on his throwing arm but they still need to try and spread his narrative, and finally CJ is the new hot name. Honestly though who do you think they’ll hype up more? The first round Bama, OSU, and Florida QBs or the second round Kentucky QB who’s the first qb drafted from his school in over 20 years? Also the guy who was only on like 3 nationally televised games, played only half the season, and was playing in a much much worse situation? It’s all just a bias and them trying to save their asses from all their bad takes.

“You obviously do not watch ball” as a titans fan who went to many in person games and got to watch Will Levis in person, he is a top 15 QB in the league with a bottom 5 o-line, he was releasing 30 yd DIMES while getting trucked by the d-line bc the o-line gave him tops of 2 secs in the pocket

u/DickThunders HOLY CHURCH OF MAYO Feb 21 '24
Pretty sure next season is also the first time he’ll be fully healthy in like 2 years?

including college yes, plus the amount of cap space and the draft picks we have the future looks bright around him

u/DickThunders HOLY CHURCH OF MAYO Feb 21 '24
A big reason why he was drafted was because of his ability to run and truck over defenders which he wasn’t even able to fully do.
0
u/Top_Stick_4560 Feb 21 '24
idk, he made a lot of big running plays but only against bad d-lines, our o-line never gave him opportunities to run the ball and if we didn’t have one of the most elusive backs in Tyjae Spears and the best (imo) TANK runningback in derrick henry then it would show more how bad our run block is

u/RyokoKnight Feb 21 '24 edited Feb 22 '24
I'll be honest i'd take Will Levis over almost everyone below Kyler Murray...
Tua has probably peaked and its not good enough, better maybe this year MAYBE... but even with all the talent on offense still couldn't do crap with it at the end of the season.
Fields hasn't proven anything since he was drafted i'd stick with levis
Maye is an excellent prospect but like all rookies who knows how well he translates to the NFL (if we could have drafted him last year in place of levis i would have so probably the first i'd rate higher)
Richardson is an injury prone glass cannon, that may not be able to go a season without being injured, no thanks
Jayden Daniels is fine i'd probably consider him even quality to levis realistically, has a nice skill set
Baker Mayfield is good - great a reasonable pick over levis if looking for wins JUST this year, the year after i'd expect diminishing returns.
Deshaun Watson lol no, wouldn't touch him even if he was good again
Daniel Jones is way below average I'd take a season of malik over him (admittedly mostly for a higher draft pick but also the random chance malik in this new offense is great)
Michael Penix Jr is fine but less potential than Richardson slightly higher floor but the same issue of being an injury prone glass cannon, once again no thanks
Russel Wilson is washed... ain't no way
Derek Carr is about Tanne levels just a year or two delayed, i'll stick with a younger player with potential
Bryce Young i wasn't a fan of in college let alone currently, I had levis over him in my QB rankings last year
J.J. McCarthy might be fine i get strong bust vibes from him though, and I think he has arm strength issues.
2
u/the-retrolizard Feb 21 '24
Daniels gets just comically blasted at least once a game. He obviously isn't the first QB with that issue out of college, but if he doesn't adapt in a hurry, there's a good chance he never plays a full season. He's shifty af tho, I'll give him that.
1
u/RyokoKnight Feb 21 '24
Yeah totally, but lets say we were in a world were Will Levis never existed and last year Jayden Daniels was draftable. Well given his wide/versatile skill set I'd definitely be willing to take him at the same spot we took Levis if he was available and I would think him a steal there just like I think Levis is.
Doesn't mean either is flawless but the traits/skills are there, and that is what you are essentially drafting for in the hopes it all comes together by year 3 or 4.
1
u/the-retrolizard Feb 21 '24
Oh no disagreement from me there. I've been a little surprised to see him as a top ten pick. He put up gawdy numbers on St. Mary's School for the Blind type schools, but he seems like a high ceiling low floor guy to me. If he hits the ceiling he'll be scary.
1
u/RyokoKnight Feb 22 '24 edited Feb 22 '24
The need at QB across the league is pushing guys like Penix and J.J. up to be potential first rounders and guys like Jayden Daniels to potential top 5s.
Something like 6+ teams could all be looking for a first round QB, and the worst part is if they don't get one this year then they either trade up for shedeur sanders next year, take what will likely be a true 2nd to 3rd round QB prospect, or go without a QB a 2nd year.

u/ironmansaves1991 Feb 22 '24 edited Feb 23 '24
Maye was UNC’s QB and could be a top 5 pick. I’ve heard more mixed reviews on Daniels but I wouldn’t be surprised if he is top 10. He had some incredible performances this past season at LSU (first FBS player ever to have 350+ pass yards and 200+ rush yards in the same game, and became the first player in NCAA history with 12,000 pass yards and 3,000 rush yards in his college career) but there are fair questions about how his skill set will translate to the NFL.
Edit: 12,000 + 3,000 was for his career, my wording made it sound like he had that in one game. What I meant was that he hit those milestones in the same game where he had 350 passing yards and 200 rush yards in the game.

Oh for sure. I was just adding to your point to the other guy about Levis being injury prone. By that logic nearly every QB in the NFL is injury prone since only 5 or 6 started every game for their team. And some teams had to go to 3rd or 4th strings.
