Love the guy, and most of his game, but he is gonna cost himself some money if he doesn't start taking something off the short stuff and putting the ball where the receiver really needs it, especially in traffic. Thoughts?
Levis bringing The Heat

If it hits you in the hands you catch the ball...
He has such a cannon that yeah I agree he needs to work on the finesse passes.
He does need some touch on some short stuff, like when someone is standing there wide open, a bullet is not necessary. It happened to more than one receiver last night. I think that can get worked out.
And that’s what the pros will say. WRs in the pros catch stuff regardless. Bad pass, great pass, overthrown, under thrown, it’s their job to get it. You wanna play in the big leagues? If it hits you in the hands you catch the damn ball.
Cant really be upset with him after seeing after seeing how he lays out everything he’s got for the team.
He threw some beautiful balls last night where the receiver made his cut and the ball hit him in the hands for easy catches. He's allready better than last year and will get better. He does put mustard on the ball, but as been said, receivers are paid to catch balls that hit them in the hands. This group of receivers will adjust as they get more reps and the drops and missed throws will go down.
True... like I said, I love the guy. My favorite UK QB since The Deuce.
When was the last time a UK quarterback threw for 300 yards & 3 tds, and everyone reacted with "oh well, about what i expected"??? High expectations, love it!
Couple bad throws, like the int. Couple drops, Cummings had the easiest TD catch ever blow off his fingers. When scrambling to sideline Levis threw across body to McClain, again should have been an easy catch for the running back said to have best hands.
Best result yesterday, executed 2 minute offense to get FG to end 1st half. Levis was dreadful in 2 minutes drills all 2021, like end of Knoxville game. But won Iowa bowl game at the end. Starts 2022 with successful 2 minute drill. Progress!!!

For sure, Favre broke a few fingers in his day with that heat.
- As you stated 300 yards, 3 TDs...is productive.
- Given we had a special teams TD and a fumble to the 3 yard line TD....those were two drives that we couldn't rack up stats offensively and had to give the ball back.
Given how much pressure Miami was able to put on Levis and he still threw for that much....kids a stud.
I’m more concerned about him getting hurt with all the dives and hurdles. Love the hustle but I hold my breath every time.
Lol Cummings pass was not a easy catch - 100 mph and behind him - yes he could of caught but not a good pass
Would rather have to tell him woah than giddyup
Yes he dials it in a bit too much... I'm not so sure I'm in the party of if it hits your hands you gotta catch it crowd.
Think of it it this way... a catcher in baseball isn't going to catch the ball barehanded. Makes more sense when you think about it that way

He can throw it any way he wants. These guys know how he throws. If you’re a receiver, you adjust your body to accept the ball. The one to Cummings was overthrown, catchable? Perhaps, but the pass to Key for the score? That’s a throw not too many can make.
Not to many college players make that catch either - well done Dane Key
The new WRs had good hands Saturday. Will's gonna need 5o leave the pocket a few times and find receivers next week.
That's been the problem with the receiver corp in the Stoops era. When you watch the top teams their receivers are making incredible catches all the time. We rarely catch anything that would be considered a "tough" catch and actually miss a bunch each week that we shouldn't. Hopefully that improves with an offense that actually throws the ball now..
I don’t mind the heat on the shorter passes. But too many passes behind the receiver. Need to hit them in stride. The behind the receiver passes are the ones that get tipped and intercepted. A hard thrown ball behind a receiver is not an easy catch. He had same issue early last season and got much better as the season went on. Hopefully the same will happen this year.
GO BIG BLUE!!!
