If this was already mentioned I apologize. If I remember correctly when were hiring an OC. Mark Stoops said after hiring Scang that Will had input, I completely understand that and agree. But I remember thinking for some reason it just didn’t feel or sound “right”. Almost felt maybe forced. Anyway Scang was an awful fit and terrible for Levis. Ultimately Will is responsible for Will, but I do place a lot of this at Scangs feet.
Actually it was just a few. You don’t take a QB in round 1 unless you really need one.
I do apologize for my poorly worded comment .. It's ok , and not foolish to HOPE Will Levis went #1 last night , but at some point you have to look at his body of work , his strengths , and yes his flaws , and apply some degree of logic that a guy looked VERY promising in year 1 in Lex looked lost and confused in year 2 . His vision , and ability to go from look 1 to look 2 to possibly receiver 3 was next to non existent . He locks in on WRs , he misses open ones . This is what I saw when observed live for 2 years . In year one his feet and a very good O line hid those defeciences , And having Wan'dale sure helped . If you were not living on every breath offered by KSR and a couple other home town web sites begging for click bait you could see why WL slid last night .
Look at how Levis played vs. UGA 2 times and Richardson?
Yeah and all the testing meant nothing. Stroud's dumber than a coal bucket but it doesn't seem to matter.
They might be hoping for that but Jackson and Hurts were both elite players in college. Jackson won a Heisman and Hurts was SEC Offensive Player of the Year, not to mention Big 12 Newcomer of the Year.
Does NOT excuse that BUTTHOLE McShay with his smart_ss comments EVERY time a pick was made that WASN'T Will!!!
Exaclty....Lamar won the heisman and Hurts was pretty close his last year at Oklahoma. RIchardson played 2 year and Florida went 6-7 both years.
I agree and I think that’s where Stroud will ultimately fail. Bryce Young, although slim seems like he has that processing speed. He played in the best conference in College and played amazingly well. He scored thru the roof on the S2 test as well. His frame is for sure a hinderance just like Kyler Murray’s has been a little bit.
I agree, there is no way his tape showed an NFL QB. I think it’s an extreme reach to get a guy like Josh Allen for Indy. I think AR could be a pro player for sure and a good one at another position with his athleticism. He feels like so many of the other hybrid QB’s that always failed outside Michael Vick for the longest time to me, from what I’ve seen when we play them and Florida since he’s been there.
I honestly believe the Colts didn’t want to be “the team” that passes on AR and then see him blow up in 2-3 years. Not saying he will be that good but it’s all based on potential. Very similar to how the NBA drafts.
Not so sure this was CMS doing. Not even sure it was Scangerello's, but more likely him than CMS.
I couldn’t believe McShay was dogging Will as bad as he was! He would of never rolled Richardson as bad as he did Will!
McShay pointed specifically to his lack of comfortability inside the pocket as a major concern.Todd McShay explains how Will Levis fell out of the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft

Re interview, I agree. Don't know if that's true or if it's some shithouse rumor started by somebody who wasn't there.
Have seen the kid play twice in person and this is truly a head scratcher.
I agree with this. If you think about it, Will had a couple of seasons at Penn State where they used him as a running QB. He had one season being coached by Coen, then Scangajello had no clue how to coach him and ruined any progress he made the previous year. He should have played in the bowl game and he should have come back for his last year. That said, I think we could be better off with Leary. But for Will, he would have benefitted from another season of college to work on his reads and progressions, and decision making.
AR is the perfect fit for Indy. They love crappy qbs so he will fit nicely.
AR looked like a confused bozo with all the talent UF had. Winning matters and Levis proved he was a winner when the bottle cap glass guy didn’t push his buttons.
When he gets drafted Will won’t care he just has to go out and prove it if he wants to get paid. It stings the pride a bit now but maybe he will end up with a contender. I mean SF needs a QB imo. Purdy was a flash in the pan and lance is completely unproven.
Agree with everything, but playing in the bowl game. All things said, everything you read he was going to be a t10 pick.
