except dont you need to give a rookie QB a bit of time to adjust to the league, find himself, and settle in? Unless you think you have a cant-miss-QB like manning or luck you shouldnt make that determination after one season unless he's a colossal fuck up.

Yes, I meant in general, if it doesn't work, do it again. I didn't necessarily mean the next year. Should have clarified, my bad.

Got a gut feeling it’ll be Levis

I won't be mad. His ceiling is a Josh Allen type QB, his floor is Ryan Leaf. Depends on how well we develop him. He is mentally and physically tough.

If he is mentally tough, he won't turn into Ryan Leaf.

With the current staff he could end up in the fetal position on the floor of the weight room by game 4

Levis is way more mentally prepared to be an NFL QB than Leaf ever was. My floor is Jay Cutler.

I believe that we take Levis. Remember Herbert had questions when he came out, because he was never named captain and wasn't super outgoing. He has certainly disproved those thoughts.

That's a pretty fair floor. Damn, I always forget about Cutler. Leaf had all the talent in the world. The 8 inches between the ears done him in.

I’ve got a 9 year old grand son who is more together than Ryan Leaf. I hope Levis is more mature than the kid with the Jets

How do you look past the accuracy and ball security issues? I understand he has the arm, but JaMarcus Russell still has the best pure arm I've ever seen on a QB. It takes a lot more than that to succeed in the NFL.
